The Core Foundation announced its latest partnership with decentralized cloud computing platform Aethir, to further advance its AI-driven applications within the BTCfi ecosystem on Core. BTCfi, Bitcoin’s first Proof of Stake (PoS) layer, is currently the largest Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem.
The collaboration will integrate Core’s Bitcoin-aligned blockchain with Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud infrastructure. Thus, it will allow developers to create advanced AI agents that benefit from Bitcoin’s robust security and Core’s programmability.
Via Core’s flagship incubator program i.e. Core Commit, AI developers will gain access to Aethir’s high-performance computing resources. It will further foster innovation at the intersection of Bitcoin, DeFi, and artificial intelligence.
AI-driven automation is revolutionizing finance and Web3, with decentralized AI agents gaining traction as tools for liquidity management, predictive analytics, and automated trading. Thus, this collaboration between Core and Aethir offers a unique opportunity to integrate AI with blockchain technology within the BTCfi ecosystem.
This partnership positions Core and Aethir at the forefront of innovation, paving the way for advanced applications in decentralized finance. Speaking on the development, Dan Wang, Aethir’s CEO said:
“Aethir is dedicated to supporting the AI agentic economy with premium GPU computing resources for the most advanced AI use cases. By joining forces with Core, we are tapping into the BTCfi ecosystem and providing hands-on support for AI builders developing industry-shaping innovations. The synergy between Aethir and Core will significantly contribute to BTCfi AI agent development powered by Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud infrastructure.”
In collaboration with Aethir, Core is expanding its resources and infrastructure for AI developers by leveraging Aethir’s distributed network of over 400,000 state-of-the-art GPU containers. This initiative further solidifies Core’s position as the primary hub for BTCfi AI agents.
Furthermore, the partnership aims to showcase a flagship AI agent project that highlights the potential of decentralized computing, artificial intelligence, and Bitcoin. Rich Rines, an initial Core contributor, said:
“Core is going to be the home of BTCfi AI agents. With Aethir’s compute infrastructure and Core’s high-performance BTCfi rails, developers can bring AI and Bitcoin together in ways that haven’t been possible before.”
The first Core Commit of 2025, a three-month incubator program featuring a top-10 team focused on AI-powered prediction markets, has just concluded. As Core Commit prepares for its Q2 2025 AI cohort, developers will gain expanded access to AI computing resources, opening new opportunities to create AI agents that enhance the BTCfi ecosystem. This partnership highlights Core and Aethir’s mutual commitment to driving innovation at the crossroads of AI, Bitcoin, and decentralized finance.
