How to Purchase Checker Nodes

Please note Aethir Node Sale has been closed. We will introduce secondary markets in the future.

Step 1 - Go to https://checker.aethir.com and connect your wallet

While purchasing nodes does not require you to KYC, claiming node rewards requires KYC. Therefore, we encourage all users to KYC before participating in the node sale.

Rewards from running nodes will be airdropped to the same wallet used to purchase and cannot be changed.

Step 2 - Get wETH and Arbitrum gas tokens

The Aethir Node Sale will be on the Arbitrum Network. You will need:

• Wrapped ETH (wETH) to purchase the Checker Node Licenses

• ETH for gas fees

How to get wETH:

Option 1 - Purchase wETH on Arbitrum (Uniswap)

• Purchase wETH directly from any Arbitrum DEX

Option 2 - Bridge ETH to Arbitrum with Arbitrum Bridge

• For users with existing ETH on other chains, you can opt to bridge to Arbitrum using the Arbitrum Bridge (https://bridge.arbitrum.io)

• Be sure to leave sufficient ETH in your wallet for gas

• Swap ETH to wETH on any Arbitrum DEX

Aethir will conduct the checker node sale on the Arbitrum network using wrapped Ethereum (wETH). The snapshot for the wETH to USD price for the node sale will be taken on 14 March, 06:00 AM UTC at $3970.985 per ETH.

Congratulations you have now successfully purchased your Checker Node License!

What’s Next?

After purchasing an Aethir node, investors will receive an ERC-721 NFT to the wallet addresses used during the Aethir node sale. The NFT symbolizes ownership of the purchased Aethir node. Keep in mind that there's no cap on the number of nodes you can buy.

You can purchase as many nodes as you want, if available. The Checker Node license gives buyers lifetime access. The NFTs will be non-transferable for the first year after the node sale.

The NFTs will be airdropped to buyer wallets directly at a later date. There's no claiming process. There will be sufficient time between the NFT airdrop and time for users to download, install and run their nodes to start earning rewards.
