The current model of blockchain security is failing in a very specific way. A DeFi protocol pays a top-tier firm between $100,000 and $1 million for a manual audit. They wait months for the report. They receive a “clean bill of health.” And then, weeks later, they get hacked anyway. Recent hacks of heavily audited…
Alex DRocks just released a new tool that makes tracking Bittensor transactions way easier. On January 15, 2026, he announced TaoFlows, a web dashboard that monitors TAO token movements across all 128 subnets in real time. The tool is live at taoflows.app, and it’s free to use. Taoflows is built for high-speed monitoring of $TAO…
SUMMARY: In this interview with CoinShare’s The Node Magazine, Ala Shaabana, Bittensor’s co-founder, explains how the protocol merges blockchain and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to create a decentralized, incentive-based ecosystem that challenges the dominance of centralized Big Tech. By utilizing a “fair launch” model and the $TAO coin, Bittensor motivates a global network of miners to…
SUMMARY: This episode of Hash Rate features Mark Basa of Subnet.ai, showcasing a simple, intuitive UI paired with deep on-chain data to help users analyze and understand Bittensor subnets. The discussion covers the vision behind Templar, identifying potential unicorn subnets, leveraging the TAOStats API, and the importance of crafting clear narratives for investors. The episode…
Barry Silbert, the CEO of Yuma Group, has announced the launch of Hermes (grounded on Subnet 82 on Bittensor) marking a significant step toward making blockchain data usable by AI agents at production scale. Hermes is built by SubQuery Network and incubated through Yuma Group, an initiative focused on helping high-potential Bittensor subnets move from…
JSTprove has officially launched on DSperse (Bittensor Subnet 2), marking a major step forward for decentralized AI infrastructure. While the release has flown under the radar, it addresses one of the most critical weaknesses in today’s AI agent economy: the lack of provable guarantees that a model actually performed the computation it claims. The core…
Cover image credit: Thesubnetdegen As artificial intelligence moves deeper into high-stakes environments, trust is becoming the defining constraint. In areas like financial trading, autonomous robotics, and real world automation, an AI system does not just need to be powerful. It must be probably correct. DSperse, Subnet 2 on Bittensor, is designed to solve that problem….
As generative AI models become more capable, distinguishing real content from synthetic media is becoming increasingly difficult. Images, videos, and biometric data can now be convincingly fabricated at scale, creating serious risks for media integrity, identity verification, and enterprise security. BitMind, Subnet 34 on the Bittensor network, is built to address this challenge. Operating as…
Chutes AI just solved a problem many developers face. If you’re building AI apps with Vercel’s AI SDK, you’re probably locked into one model provider. Maybe you started with OpenAI and now your entire codebase assumes GPT models. Switching to different models means rewriting code. Chutes released an SDK provider on January 13, 2026, that…
Despite growing adoption of MEV protection tooling, a small but persistent group of Bittensor users continues to experience avoidable MEV losses. The issue is not a protocol failure. It is a misunderstanding of what MEV Shield v1 does, and how users interact with it. A recent note from Opentensor Foundation (OTF) clarifies the situation: MEV…
