On May 16, decentralized cloud infrastructure provider Aethir announced the launch of the Checker Node repurchase program, which provides existing Checker Node NFT holders with the option to sell back to the Aethir Foundation at a fixed price. The program will be launched at 12:00 UTC on May 22 to reward early supporters who may no longer want to participate in the node ecosystem. Payments will be made in eATH (EigenATH) tokens and a 10% handling fee will be charged for each transaction.
