alt Inc. announces the launch of its distributed computing infrastructure project, EMETH, and begins recruitment for participating nodes
～Publication of "Emeth White Paper v.1.0" expected to create a new economic cycle～
alt Inc.(https://dev-corporate-web.poc-dev.com/en/), a Japan based developer of AI Clone and Personal Artificial Intelligence (P.A.I.®️) (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Kazutaka Yonekura), is excited to announce the launch of the EMETH Association (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Kazutaka Yonekura). The EMETH distributed computing platform ( https://emeth.ai/ ) aims to create a new economic cycle by matching individuals and companies in need of computing power with individual gaming PCs, data center servers, and other resources, providing value to unused and vacant resources. In addition, the company is pleased to announce today the release of the "Emeth White Paper v.1.0" in preparation for the full-scale operation of EMETH.

About EMETH https://emeth.ai/
■EMETH Distributed Computing Platform Overview
EMETH is one of the distributed computing, and the distributed computing project that aims to create a new economic cycle by matching individuals and companies in need of computer computing power with personal gaming PCs, data center servers, and other resources, providing value to unused and vacant resources.
One example of usage of EMETH is as a means of providing computing power, which is essential for running AI. A job that requires large-scale computational resources can be divided, and the results of the computation can be requested to a complex of PCs and servers, called a node, which is connected to the EMETH platform.
The cost of obtaining the results of this calculation will be equitably distributed based on EMETH's automatic contract for the distribution of compensation and on the balance between supply and demand. For this reason, it is anticipated that this service can be provided at a reduced cost compared to that of utilizing existing cloud servers.
On the client side, computing power can be secured at a low cost, and on the node side (the provider of computing power), even free resources and older GPU machines can join the node and receive rewards by making available a certain level of computing power.
The EMETH Association has begun providing an environment for those who wish to contribute computing power to EMETH, as well as the recruitment and support of participating nodes. The Association will distribute commemorative NFTs and announce events and campaigns on a variety of social networks. Please follow us on X (Twitter) and Discord.

■EMETH's underlying philosophy of solving social problems
~alt is set to implement products aimed to solve social problems using EMETH~
In 2009, the launch of Bitcoin spurred a global revolution toward the decentralization of truth. A new sphere of economic competition called mining was born, and for over a decade, the semiconductor industry has continued to evolve and create new value. The act of digging for cryptocurrency has also become a significant source of electricity consumption around the world, and as value evolves, each new generation of semiconductors has quickly been subsumed by the next.
As a result, there are a large number of unused semiconductors left around the world. GPUs and servers that have been produced and resources that should still be available are being left unused, and the situation continues to be that they are not being implemented in society. At the same time, the recent evolution of AI has again put computing resources in short supply, and all kinds of computing powers, including GPT, other large language models, image generation AI, rendering, and the IOT are still operating at high cost.
The EMETH Association and the EMETH developers at alt have continued to develop more efficient and sustainable distributed computing by utilizing previously idle semiconductors.
The goal of EMETH is to share computing power freely and equitably among the people of the world through distributed computing. As an impartial platform that provides power to people's questing minds, explorers of all human wisdom, and a guiding force for truth (EMETH), we will create a future where the world is more prosperous, and everyone has access to the crystallization of human wisdom, by connecting the computing power created by humankind into one. This vision will begin with the full launch of EMETH, a distributed computing platform that will surpass the AI Singularity and create a new era.

■About EMETH Association
EMETH was launched in 2018 as a new form of distributed computing, proposing the provision of computing power-only resources and to start providing truly equitable computing resources. Full-scale development is underway, and the EMETH Association was established in 2023 as a body of experts responsible for the release of EMETH and the development of its early community. The association will operate as a consortium-type organization focused on providing forward-thinking leadership for the distributed community.
