Aethir has partnered with MetaGravity, the developer of HyperScale Engine, to expedite the development of decentralized physical infrastructure networks gaming (DePIN).
The partnership aims to enhance the 3D internet and the gaming industry by utilizing DePIN technology to establish a scalable infrastructure that streamlines gaming development and improves its efficiency and accessibility.
Dan Wang, the CEO and co-founder of Aethir, underscored the objective of the partnership in a written Q&A with Cointelegraph. He stated:
“By uniting a global network of underutilized resources, we’re paving the way for a more accessible, immersive and sustainable future for gaming and the 3D internet.”
The partnership endeavors to surmount the historical constraints of online gaming by integrating Aethir’s Instaplay pixel streaming solution and MetaGravity’s HyperScale Engine.
Simultaneously, the collaboration will allow game developers to expand the back-end simulation infrastructure and the front-end “cross-device pixel streaming capability.”
In the Q&A, Tobin Ireland, the co-founder and chief business officer of MetaGravity, explained causal partitioning:
“MetaGravity has created a new method of concurrency and parallelism for distributing a massive simulation across multiple servers (called Causal Partitioning), without the scale and cost limitations of the previous approaches.”
According to Ireland, MetaGravity employs mathematical formulations to precisely quantify gameplay interactions, thereby establishing infrastructure that “can deliver a 100x scale of spatial partitioning at 1/100th of the cost of compute.”
Decentralized computation
The partnership between MetaGravity and Aethir also aims to establish a longer-term research and development roadmap to expedite the adoption of DePINs for gaming.
Wang stated the following regarding the implications of DePIN on gaming:
“DePINs leverage geographically distributed GPU resources, placing processing power closer to users. DePINs are inherently scalable and secure, ensuring smooth operation for even the most demanding games.”
Control and Ownership
MetaGravity and Aethir’s combined technology is designed to create the third-generation internet, distinguished by its decentralized ownership and control mechanism.
Ireland stated that there would be a rise in the demand for computing capacity, which would reduce network transport costs and latency.
“DePIN infrastructure also has the benefit of decentralized ownership, governance and control.”
