Aethir launches Checker node buyback plan and introduces eATH token to support ecosystem expansion
ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, Aethir has officially launched the Checker node buyback program, allowing node holders to sell their NFT licenses to the Aethir Foundation in exchange for eATH (EigenATH) tokens. This program aims to strengthen the Aethir ecosystem by guiding new computing clusters to join Aethir's decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) stack. The buyback price for Checker nodes will fluctuate based on market conditions and buyback rates, with early participants receiving additional rewards.The eATH token has a one-year lock-up period, but during this time, it will continue to earn ATH rewards, with a redemption period of 30 days after June 13, 2026. eATH will be used to support Aethir's decentralized cloud computing infrastructure, particularly by guiding new GPU cloud hosts through EigenLayer's AVS model. Users holding eATH will receive rewards linked to the performance of Aethir's decentralized GPU cloud market. Additionally, eATH holders will be eligible for special rewards from Aethir's future airdrops (Q2 and Q3) and may gain instant liquidity through Pendle.
