Leveraging Aethir’s state-of-the-art GPUs and distributed cloud infrastructure, this new solution propels APhone’s capacity from 80,000 to over 800,000 daily active users. The operational cost per user drops to under $0.60 per month, marking a significant enhancement in efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
“Expanding from 80,000 to over 800,000 users is a game-changer. Aethir’s infrastructure not only supports this growth but also helps us save $3.2 million quarterly, bringing our computing costs down to $1 million.”

William Paul Peckham, APhone’s spokesperson
Aethir’s distributed cloud infrastructure excels in real-time computation, essential for APhone’s diverse range of decentralized applications (dApps) and services. This includes gaming, AI, and other resource-intensive applications accessible via APhone’s virtual platform. Traditional cloud phone services can cost over $25 per month, but APhone’s use of Aethir’s infrastructure allows it to offer these services at just $6 monthly.

Enhancing Performance and Scalability

Mark Rydon, Aethir’s co-founder and Head of Strategy, explained:
“Aethir Edge’s unique capability to assign individual IP addresses to each cloud smartphone is crucial for applications that require specific network identities. This feature not only enhances performance and security but also optimizes data processing and transmission across various applications.”

Aethir Edge, an enterprise-grade AI device integrated with the distributed GPU cloud infrastructure, significantly boosts APhone’s performance. It ensures minimal latency and optimal performance for demanding dApps and metaverse experiences.

APhone is designed as a gateway to Web3, delivering seamless access to a curated selection of dApps directly from the cloud, without the limitations of traditional hardware. This also enables developers to build and scale Web3 projects with ease, ensuring a steady stream of innovative applications for users.

To date, Aethir Edge has distributed 11,000 units, providing GPU-as-a-service for AI, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time streaming. Future releases are highly anticipated, with a waitlist in place. Device owners earn rewards in Aethir’s native token, ATH, with 23% of the total supply reserved for Edge users, promoting decentralized, user-owned edge computing.
