Aethir Launches Batch 6 of $100M Ecosystem Fund, Focusing on RWAs

Decentralized cloud computing platform Aethir has launched batch 6 of its $100 million ecosystem fund, expanding support beyond AI agents. According to an April 23 announcement on the Aethir blog, the fund will now support select RWA projects with decentralized cloud computing grants on GPUs. After supporting over 25 AI-focused grantees to date, the latest group integrates RWA developers into Aethir’s decentralized cloud ecosystem.

The new grant recipients include Zoo Finance, Berachain’s proprietary protocol offering structured asset products and liquidity stores, Upside OS, an asset tokenization operating system connecting traditional finance with digital markets, and PinLink, DePIN’s RWA-based tokenized marketplace that aims to reduce the costs of AI developers and provide passive income to asset owners.

Instead of giving out cash, the ecosystem fund issues grants in the form of decentralized GPU computing power in the cloud. Grant recipients have access to Aethir’s global GPU network, which includes over 425,000 GPU containers and high-performance chips like the NVIDIA H200 and GB200. This eliminates the need for expensive centralized infrastructure and allows early-stage teams to scale applications that rely heavily on AI and RWA. With this, the company hopes to help more founders develop the next generation of RWA and AI applications using decentralized computing.
