Introduction With Bittensor’s first halving less than four days away, narratives are flying everywhere: Will miners shut down? Will emissions cuts hurt subnets? Will TAO supply shock trigger price volatility? But in the middle of all the noise, Barry Silbert — one of crypto’s most seasoned investors and the founder of Digital Currency Group —…
Contributor: Crypto Pilote I – Halving is coming You’ve probably seen it everywhere: the TAO halving is happening this week. Daily emissions will be cut from 7,200 TAO to 3,600 TAO per day, marking a milestone in the history of the Bittensor ecosystem. At the same time, adoption of TAO continues to accelerate. New subnets…
Full article by: Seth Bloomberg The upcoming TAO halving along with the recent emission distribution upgrade has surfaced some misunderstandings of how emissions work within Bittensor. Here are a few I’ve seen floating around that aren’t correct and are worth clarifying. Misconception 1: A Subnet is receiving 0% emissions, so miners are no longer getting…

But instead of reacting emotionally, let’s zoom out and look at the on-chain data, derivatives structure, liquidity conditions, and staking…

Some I’ve liked for years — but aside from Bitcoin, I never really found a “home.” Crypto is still 99% noise: empty promises, announcements of announcements, and endless nonsense. Then I found Bittensor. For the first six months, I thought it was pie-in-the-sky…
Note: Here’s an article form of DreadBongo’s tweet. In an ecosystem as fast-moving and experimental as Bittensor, trust and attention are two of the most valuable currencies. Yet many subnets still operate behind closed doors, sharing little about their progress, challenges, or the humans behind the work. In this article, DreadBongo laid out a straightforward…
By: School of Crypto How It All Began My life in Bittensor went in a positive direction after one tweet: It was James Altucher tweeting in September about seeking writers for his brand new Bittensor website Taodaily.com.
