“The cloud sector has traditionally been a challenging industry to scale, plagued by high costs, particularly for customers requiring complex real-time rendering or streaming infrastructure – and that’s not taking into account the additional stress on the ecosystem as a result of the AI boom,” said Mark Rydon, Aethir Co-Founder and CEO. “At Aethir, we’re laser-focused on solving the cloud scalability challenge. We’ve built a global DCI network specifically to scale complex cloud infrastructure services globally; a significant milestone for the future of the gaming and AI industry. The cost and performance advantages of our DCI are significant, and when coupled with our ability to operate in developed and developing markets alike, we’re unlocking a huge amount of potential value for our customers.”

Aethir has shown consistent growth under Rydon’s stewardship, creating a scalable and secure Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) service that caters to the rigorous demands of enterprise-grade gaming and AI applications.

The completion of this successful funding round follows a previous Seed round led by Framework Ventures and Infinity Ventures Crypto, underscoring the demand for Aethir’s solutions and demonstrating investors’ conviction in its potential to revolutionize the gaming and AI industry through its Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure.
