APhone, the world’s first decentralized virtual smartphone, has made a groundbreaking partnership with Aethir that promises to revolutionize the way we think about cloud phone services. This collaboration not only increases user capacity by 10x but also drastically reduces operational costs, making APhone’s services more accessible to a wider audience.
Powered by Aethir’s enterprise-grade GPUs and distributed cloud infrastructure, this new solution allows APhone to support over 800,000 daily active users at a cost of less than $0.60 per user monthly. This is a significant improvement from APhone’s current capacity of 80,000 users and marks a major leap in cost efficiency.
Aethir, which recently reported $36 million in revenue over the past year, has seen a 10% monthly growth driven by the increasing demand for AI, cloud gaming, and edge computing. The collaboration with APhone is seen as a pivotal move as APhone aims to expand its infrastructure and leverage Aethir’s distributed GPU infrastructure to save millions in quarterly expenditures.
Aethir’s decentralized cloud infrastructure is praised for its ability to handle real-time computational needs essential for gaming, rendering, instance hosting, and AI applications. This synergy with APhone allows users seamless access to various decentralized applications (dApps) directly through their cloud smartphones.
The partnership also introduces Aethir Edge, an enterprise-grade edge AI device that enhances the efficiency and speed of Web3 applications. This device assigns unique IP addresses to each cloud smartphone, benefiting applications requiring distinct network identities such as gaming, IoT, and decentralized finance platforms.
With APhone’s platform serving as a gateway to Web3, users can access a curated selection of dApps, from DeFi protocols to immersive metaverse experiences, regardless of hardware constraints. Developers can also build, launch, and scale Web3 projects effortlessly, fostering a continuous influx of innovative applications for users.
Aethir has distributed 11,000 Aethir Edge devices, providing GPU-as-a-service for AI processing, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time streaming. These devices are in high demand, with future releases available via a waitlist. Device owners can earn rewards in Aethir’s native token, ATH, with 23% of the total supply reserved for Aethir Edge users, supporting decentralized, user-owned edge computing.
Overall, the partnership between APhone and Aethir promises not only scalability but also significant cost reductions, making cloud phone services more affordable and accessible to a broader audience. This collaboration marks a significant step towards decentralized, user-owned edge computing and equitable access to cutting-edge technology.
