Bittensor co-founder Const has announced plans to stake an additional 20,000 TAO into Bittensor subnets over the coming month.
In a post dated January 22, 2026, Const said he intends to deploy the capital “next month’ish” and expressed a clear interest in speaking directly with every team building on Bittensor.
Key takeaways from the announcement:
- 20,000 TAO earmarked for subnet staking across the ecosystem
- Open to direct engagement with subnet teams
- Support offered across capital deployment, technical help, and ecosystem connections
- Flexible structures including direct staking, OTC deals, and custom arrangements
- A public scheduling link was shared for builders to book time directly
Const framed the move as part of his ongoing effort to actively support subnet builders, not just through capital but by helping teams navigate incentives, emissions, and integration within the wider network.
The announcement reinforces strong founder-level conviction in Bittensor’s subnet economy, especially at a time when the ecosystem is pushing toward higher-quality outputs, better emissions design, and real product adoption.
For subnet teams, this is a rare signal. Capital is available, access is open, and support is coming directly from a core architect of the network.
