Getting Started with Aethir Edge
This guide is provided to walk you through the initial steps of setting up and using your Aethir Edge device to start earning rewards.
Note: this is merely a high-level overview. All of these topics will be covered in-depth in the subsequent sections.
1. Purchase and Set Up Your Device
Purchase: Acquire an Aethir Edge device from an authorized distributor or through a public sale on myedge.io. (See the "Aethir Edge Distributors" and "Aethir Edge Sales" sections for more information.)
Geographic Eligibility: Ensure you meet the geographic eligibility requirements. (Refer to the "Geographic Eligibility" page for details.)
Connect and Configure: Follow the instructions in the "How to Set Up and Configure Your Edge Device" guide to connect your device to the network and complete the initial setup.
2. Download and Register on the Aethir Edge App
Download the App: Download and install the Aethir Edge App on your iOS or Android device.
Create an Account: Open the app and create an account using your email or a supported social login.
Complete KYC: Complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process within the app.
3. Acquire and Bridge ATH & ETH
Purchase ATH: Buy ATH tokens on a supported cryptocurrency exchange or swap for them on a decentralized exchange like Uniswap.
Acquire ETH for Gas Fees: Obtain some ETH to be transferred to your Aethir Edge app wallet. This will be used to cover transaction fees on the Arbitrum network. ($15 worth of ETH should be plenty.)
Bridge ATH & ETH to Arbitrum Network: Use a cross-chain bridge like the Arbitrum Bridge or Squid Router to transfer your ATH and ETH to the Arbitrum network. (See the "How to Bridge ETH for Gas Fees" and "How to Bridge ATH for Edge Staking (ETH to ARB)" guides for detailed instructions.)
4. Stake Your ATH
Transfer ATH and ETH: Transfer the required amount of ATH and ETH to your in-app wallet on the Arbitrum network. Do not send these tokens on the Ethereum network.
Stake ATH: Navigate to the staking section in the app and follow the prompts to stake the required amount of ATH. (Refer to the "How to Stake ATH" guide for detailed instructions.)
5. Start Earning Rewards
Once your ATH is staked, your Edge device will start contributing to the network and earning rewards. You can monitor your earnings and manage your rewards directly through the app. (See the "Claiming and Withdrawing ATH" guide for more information on claiming and withdrawing your rewards.)
Remember: Staking is required for your Aethir Edge device to function and earn rewards. Make sure you have enough ATH and ETH on the Arbitrum network to complete the staking process and cover any associated gas fees.
