Elympics and Aethir Launch GameFAI, the World's First Global Decentralized Gaming Network

By combining Elympics' Open Data Protocol with Aethir's decentralized compute, the initiative aims to integrate secure, data-rich gameplay environments with distributed computing power

Elympics, an innovative onchain gaming infrastructure provider, and Aethir, a leading provider of decentralized GPU-as-a-service infrastructure, have announced the launch of GameFAI, the world’s first global decentralized gaming network.

This collaboration integrates Elympics’ Open Data Protocol with Aethir’s decentralized compute to create secure, data-rich gameplay environments combined with distributed computing power. The initiative addresses the growing need for comprehensive, interoperable solutions that drive innovation in blockchain-based competitive gaming.

With the global blockchain gaming market set to grow by 62.59% annually through 2033, demand for high-performance gaming solutions is surging. However, traditional infrastructures often fail to meet the unique demands of competitive multiplayer on-chain gaming due to challenges with latency and global accessibility.

To overcome these limitations, Elympics and Aethir have developed a network designed to reduce latency, enhance scalability, and improve security—key factors for delivering real-time, seamless gaming experiences.

At the heart of this collaboration, Elympics’ Open Data Protocol enables the secure sharing of live gameplay data, powering features like AI-driven gameplay enhancements and proveably fair, real-time competition. The network also includes live AI training, where agents analyze gameplay data to create smarter, more adaptive tools for players and developers.

Additionally, Elympics is monetizing gameplay data, creating new economies around in-game economies, AI-powered tools, and data-driven analytics. Supported by Aethir’s decentralized compute network, the $ELY tokenomics model rewards node operators for maintaining network stability, security, and performance, ensuring a scalable, decentralized ecosystem where players, developers, and operators can contribute to and profit from its growth.

Aethir’s distributed network of over 400,000 state-of-the-art GPU containers and 62,000 Aethir Edge cloud devices seamlessly integrates with Elympics’ real-time multiplayer gaming technology.

By providing scalable, cost-efficient, and high-performance computational resources, this initiative directly addresses challenges like accessibility, monetization, and real-time responsiveness. Together, Aethir and Elympics are redefining industry standards for performance, empowering developers to create immersive and scalable gaming experiences.

“By integrating Aethir’s decentralized cloud technology, we’re boosting gaming performance and establishing a globally connected network,” said Michał Dąbrowski, CEO of Elympics.

“This network delivers a smooth, low-latency experience for players, driving the growth and evolution of the gaming ecosystem.”

“By working with Elympics, node operators have a sustainable way to earn rewards while directly contributing to the growth of the decentralized gaming ecosystem,” said Paul Thind, CRO of Aethir.

“By improving network performance and accessibility, we’re building a gaming model that puts power in the hands of players and developers, fostering a more inclusive and dynamic ecosystem.”
