Bittensor (TAO)

What happens when TAO emissions run out - will BitTensor survive? xTAO founder: "If these subnets are not able to create meaningful revenue outside of their $TAO emissions, then everything fails. It just doesn't work." The good news: three top compute subnets are already doing $20M ARR collectively, from customers who have never even heard of BitTensor. FT @Samaroo00 @BitcoinJesusETH @WonderFi @xtaohq @Securitize.

xTAO founder: BitTensor pays its participants using the same mechanics as Bitcoin mining - just for AI work. Every block, new TAO gets issued and split: 41% to miners, 41% to validators, 18% to subnet owners. Then within each pool it breaks down further based on performance. There're no external fees required yet - it's all powered by emissions until the network can stand on its own revenue. FT @Samaroo00 @BitcoinJesusETH @WonderFi @xtaohq @Securitize.

"It's not like the code base is going to stop. You're going to keep developing new features…" - John Yu, Bitsec Founder/CEO AI-generated code carries 2.74x more vulnerabilities than human-written code (Veracode). And code ships faster than any team can manually review A single audit before launch catches what existed at launch. It says nothing about what gets introduced six features later... and by then, it's already live. Security that stops when the audit ends isn't security. It's a snapshot. @bitsecai $TAO

Everyone focused on @const_reborn stepping down, but missed the real story. He didn’t just build Bittensor — he built a system meant to outgrow him. The shift to shared governance between validators and subnet owners reflects a bigger vision: a network that can become a real decentralized AI economy. That’s what matters for bittensor:native.

Bittensor >> New Subnet Welcome Orion SN 27: @OrionSILX SN27 now belongs to the team behind SN24 @QuasarModels, @hendrikrv, @TroyQuasar There is still very little information available at the time of writing this post, but one thing is already clear: Orion will support Quasar and help take it even further. More details on this are expected soon. @const_reborn also helped design the incentive mechanism behind the project. For transparency, these details come directly from Quasar's Telegram group. ➡️ join us: https://t.co/CnS6yMVZFG

Bittensor will be a major, major player in inference markets and Actual is going to be a big reason why

Having a look at the Shorting spec for Bittensor tonight. First impressions: - Much simpler / much more clever than I was expecting - Not like any other shorting implementation at all - You use $TAO to short - ... so this creates more demand for $TAO - No lending is required, so no bad debt can happen Well done, @const_reborn and team.

Everyone is reading this as bearish. Read it again, because it is the best advertisement for decentralised networks a central bank has ever written. India counts 39.3 million KYC verified crypto users. It taxes every gain at 30% and skims 1% off every single trade. And the RBI’s answer to a market that size is still prohibition. Here is what a banking ban actually bans. It bans banks. That is the entire list. Bittensor does not have a banking relationship to sever. TAO validators do not apply for licenses. Subnets do not wait on a parliamentary panel. The network runs wherever compute and internet exist, which is everywhere, including India. Central banks can wall off their institutions. They cannot wall off a permissionless machine intelligence market that pays contributors directly in $TAO. India tried this once before. The Supreme Court struck it down in 2020. The market grew anyway. The assets that survive bans are the ones that never asked permission to exist.
