Aethir Launches 'ACCELERATE' Program: Secures 20MW Compute Capacity Sites, Target Contract Value Exceeds $2 Billion

Aethir announced the launch of the 'ACCELERATE' program, deploying approximately 20MW of NVIDIA GPU compute capacity across 10 sites in the U.S. and Europe for AI data centers. It is expected to generate around $700 million in contracts by the end of 2026, with cumulative contract value exceeding $2 billion once all sites are completed. ACCELERATE will expand from solely aggregating third-party GPUs to building its own underlying infrastructure, targeting enterprise AI needs focused on inference, emphasizing medium-sized sites, rapid construction, and proximity to customers. Aethir stated that it has secured sites and aligned with existing contract demands, partnering with infrastructure provider Axe Compute to deliver compute and data center capabilities. The company also announced plans to introduce a new IDC token economy policy, including a burn mechanism and floating platform fees, allowing ATH holders to share in the growth of on-chain revenue.
