Listing Proposal: List $ATH (Aethir) Perps on GMX

TL;DR

Proposing listing $ATH perpetuals on GMX, giving traders leveraged exposure to decentralized GPU compute — a distinct and high-growth vertical in the DePIN sector.

Proposal

Hey GMX community — I’m with Aethir, and we’d like to propose listing $ATH perpetuals on GMX.

Why Aethir matters?

Aethir is a decentralized cloud infra layer powering compute-heavy workloads like AI, gaming, rendering, and more. We aggregate enterprise-grade GPUs from global suppliers into a single, distributed network — delivering scalable compute to both Web2 and Web3.

We’re currently the largest decentralized GPU infra provider, with:

  • 45,000+ enterprise-grade GPUs online (428,000+ Total GPU containers)
  • $120M+ in annualized revenue

About $ATH

$ATH is Aethir’s native token — a new way to gain exposure to the booming GPU economy.

It’s already listed on major CEXs: Coinbase, OKX, Kraken, and Bybit etc.

Now, we’re expanding our DeFi ecosysystem. A GMX listing would make $ATH the third DePIN perpetual alongside $RENDER and $FIL — but with a distinct thesis: high-performance compute infra, not rendering or storage.

Why GMX?

  • Arbitrum-Native Alignment: Aethir launched and grew on Arbitrum. Today, 140K+ wallets hold $ATH on Arbitrum. $11M+ in volume has already been traded on GMX by ATH holders in the last 9 months.
  • DePIN Fit: $RENDER = rendering, $FIL = storage. $ATH completes the DePIN trifecta by bringing compute into the mix.
  • DeFi Liquidity + Narrative Fit: GMX remains one of the most trusted and liquid perp venues in DeFi. A natural home for leveraged GPU exposure.

What GMX Gains?

  • New Volume: ATH has strong daily activity ($120M CEX Perp volume) and volatility (8.8% 30d avg) — ideal for perps.
  • Fresh Trader Cohorts: Access to our 700K+ AI and DePIN-native community, most of whom aren’t yet active on GMX.
  • Marketing Support: We’re happy to co-market the listing via joint campaigns, ecosystem pushes, and community activations.

Next steps

We’d love to hear feedback from the GMX community and contributors. We understand Chaos Labs would conduct a risk analysis and we’re ready to support with any required data.

If the reception is positive, we’re excited to move toward integration.

Thanks for considering —

Team Aethir

Hi Cryptickatz I appreciate you taking the time to present why $ATH should be listed. It is actively being reviewed and should there be any additional questions we can most certainly circle back. Should community members have any questions I would encourage them to ask.

Appreciate it, @ImmieV. Eager to hear the Listing Committee’s and community’s thoughts.

Hey team @cryptickatz — thanks for the detailed proposal around $ATH. Strong case overall, and I appreciate the clarity around volume, narrative alignment, and DePIN positioning.

One key area the committee is actively evaluating is DEX-side liquidity on Arbitrum, especially as it relates to the viability of perpetual trading on GMX V2.

Currently, the ~$200K liquidity cited on Arbitrum is a bit light for deep perp markets. For listing to move forward, it would be helpful to understand:

Would Aethir be open to supporting deeper liquidity on Arbitrum, either directly or via partners?

Are there plans to expand DEX-side TVL, perhaps through LP incentives, vaults, or liquidity mining programs?

If listing were confirmed, would you be open to coordinating.

Let us know how flexible you are on this front — happy to keep the discussion moving. Appreciate the engagement and ecosystem alignment.
