The Aethir network is driven by five essential roles: miners, developers, users, token holders, and the Aethir DAO. Together, these roles facilitate network consensus and effective rendering services.

Miners are categorized into three types: Containers, Checkers, and Indexers. They each have distinct roles :
Containers: They are fundamental units within Aethir, serving as virtual endpoints where cloud-based applications are executed and rendered. Their purpose is to ensure an immediate and responsive cloud experience, effectively shifting the workload from local devices to the Container.
Indexers: These act as connectors within the network, optimizing the match between users and Containers. They prioritize based on service fee, experience, and overall evaluation, aiming to minimize latency and ensure high-quality rendering.
Checkers: Their role is to maintain the integrity and performance of Containers. They verify container specifications and monitor performance during active rendering, ensuring the network's Quality of Service. This involves checks at various stages, including registration and during rendering.
These components work together to ensure Aethir's distributed cloud infrastructure operates efficiently and meets its performance standards.
To simplify, the key function of the Container is to host cloud services. The Indexer facilitates the optimal connection between users and containers, while the role of the Checker is to evaluate the performance and quality of service of the containers, thus ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
It is this role of the Checker that has been the subject of Aethir's sale of 100,000 node licenses (NFT).
