Introducing the new Aethir Stakedrop Campaign on the Staking Hub


NodeOps is proud to partner with Aethir and introduce the Aethir Stakedrop Campaign. For a limited time, you can stake $NODE and stATH directly through the NodeOps Staking Hub and earn a share of 100,000 gNODE Points.
Whether you're already part of the Aethir ecosystem or you're just discovering decentralized GPU Compute, this campaign is a high-signal way to get early exposure to one of the most promising infrastructure plays in Web3.
What is Aethir?
Aethir is building a decentralized cloud infrastructure optimized for GPU-intensive workloads. Anything and everything from AI, gaming, rendering, and high-performance Compute. Instead of relying on centralized hyperscalers, Aethir enables anyone to contribute idle GPU power to a distributed Network, where it can be rented out on-demand by users and enterprises.
So far, Aethir boasts:
430,000+ state-of-the-art GPU containers committed to their network
Deep partnerships across the AI and gaming sectors
A global push for decentralized Compute alternatives
Therefore, Aethir positions itself as a foundational layer for Web3 and AI-native applications.
About the Stakedrop campaign
To reward early ecosystem participants and strengthen its token distribution, Aethir is launching a Stakedrop Campaign in collaboration with selected partners.
This is your opportunity to earn gNODE by staking into trusted protocols without any mining, Node operation, or complex LPing. Just stake and hold.
The total reward pool for this campaign is 100,000 gNODE Points, distributed over 60 days.
NodeOps is proud to be one of the first protocols included, and we’re making it as easy as possible to get started.
Stake via NodeOps: $NODE + stATH Pool
To participate, all you need to do is stake the following tokens on Ethereum via the NodeOps Staking Hub:
$NODE — the native token of the NodeOps Network
stATH — staked ATH token
By combining exposure to both NodeOps and Aethir, the pool reinforces the alignment between infrastructure coordination and GPU resource decentralization.
Pool Details
Pool: NodeOps x Aethir
Supported tokens: $NODE + stATH
Rewards: 100,000 gNODE Points
Duration: 60 days
Chain: Ethereum
Why participate?
This campaign is a meaningful way to align with the core primitives driving the next generation of the internet. Anyone who joins will benefit from:
1. Exposure to Aethir’s ecosystem
As decentralized Compute and AI demand grow, ATH will become increasingly central to resource coordination, Network governance, and potential value accrual mechanisms.
2. Support real infrastructure
Aethir isn’t another paper network. It has real GPU inventory, enterprise partnerships, and a global rollout plan. This is a chance to earn rewards by supporting that momentum, not speculating on it.
3. Simple, gas-optimized staking
NodeOps makes it easy to participate with:
No-code dashboard
Built-in reward tracking
Direct Ethereum staking without bridging or wrapping
How to participate
Go to the Staking Hub
Connect your wallet
Select the Aethir Stakedrop Pool
Stake your $NODE and stATH
Sit back and track your gNODE earnings throughout the campaign
The more you stake and the longer you stay in the pool, the more rewards you will earn.
How to get stATH
➤ Get ATH
➤ Wrap ATH to convert it to veATH
➤ Stake veATH in the Gaming/AI Pool to receive stATH
How to get $NODE on Ethereum
➤ Use the Portal to bridge your $NODE from Arbitrum to Ethereum
Once you have both tokens, stake them 1:1. Sit back and stack your gNODE Points.
Final thoughts
The Aethir Stakedrop is your chance to gain exposure to one of the most promising infrastructure projects in the decentralized GPU and AI space. And you don’t even have to run any hardware or get in line for Node access.
By staking through NodeOps, you’ll be supporting a shared mission to simplify and scale permissionless infrastructure coordination across the Web3 stack.
