On December 16, 2025, DSV Fund completed an over-the-counter investment in Vericore, Bittensor Subnet 70 (SN70). The move reflects DSV’s focus on early-stage decentralized AI infrastructure that addresses real, growing problems, particularly the spread of misinformation and unverified claims online. Vericore, developed by dFusion AI and launched on Bittensor in early 2025, functions as a…
Special credit to Macrocosmos team for the full article below. AI has reached a crucial turning point. In many high-risk domains, models are no longer limited by architecture, instead, they’re limited by the quality and difficulty of the data they are trained on. The next decade of progress won’t be driven by bigger models, but…
SUMMARY: This video examines Bittensor’s first halving and why it materially changes the supply dynamics, incentives, and long-term outlook of the network. It explains how reduced $TAO emissions may ease structural sell-pressure while reshaping subnet economics and validator incentives. This analysis contrasts decentralized, incentive-driven AI subnets with capital-intensive centralized incumbents, highlighting growing valuation and adoption…
Decentralized intelligence continues to evolve beyond static benchmarks and one-dimensional performance tests. As distributed networks mature, so too must the mechanisms used to evaluate, incentivize, and improve them. Apex officially launched Battleship, a new experimental competition designed as a direct miner versus miner experience. Released as an early holiday surprise for the community, Battleship represents…
SUMMARY: In this livestream, Alessandro discusses the first Bittensor ($TAO) halving, which halves daily emissions from 7,200 to 3,600 $TAO, reducing sell pressure from subnets that receive and sell these tokens to fund operations. He highlights Bittensor’s role as a decentralized incentive network for AI subnets (e.g., Ridges AI outperforming GPT-5 on benchmarks, Chutes offering…
Something important just happened in decentralized AI, and it deserves attention. Ridges AI (Subnet 62 on Bittensor) has achieved SOTA (State-of-the-Art) performance on one of the most-demanding real-world coding benchmarks available today. This was not done in a lab demo, not even in a cherry-picked test but in a competitive, incentive-driven environment where performance is…
By: Andy There is a growing disconnect in how people talk about Bittensor ($TAO). Crypto audiences see another token, AI audiences see a niche experiment, economists mostly see nothing at all and each group is missing the same thing. Bittensor is not a speculative asset story: It is not a short-term narrative, not even primarily…
Building AI applications today comes with a hidden problem: who pays for the AI? Every prompt, image, or response costs money. As apps grow, developers either cap usage, charge subscriptions, or quietly pay the cost themselves. That makes scaling risky, especially for small teams. A recent update from Chutes quietly changes this model. With the…
When people talk about Bittensor, they usually focus on AI models, subnets, and incentives. What’s easier to miss is that a full financial system is starting to form around those incentives. Subnet tokens are no longer just rewards that appear in your wallet. They are slowly becoming real assets with liquidity, price discovery, and markets…
Contributor: School of Crypto Wrapped tokens have become an essential part of the crypto ecosystem. Native blockchains such as Bitcoin were siloed in their respective networks with no way to use their value in other ecosystems. The advent of Wrapped BTC (WBTC) and others had turned Bitcoin into almost a $20 billion market. Then, LIDO…
