Team Rizzo, a top validator in Bittensor, has merged with crypto investment firm DNA Fund to co-lead its Compute and AI Division, according to an announcement from Rizzo founder Frank Rizzo. The merger combines Team Rizzo’s expertise in Bittensor validation, mining and subnet innovation with DNA Fund’s global network and resources. Rizzo highlighted the move…
By: airbender.btc I have been following Bittensor for quite a while, but I never decided to develop on it. Even though I had some expertise as a machine learning engineer, I never looked deeply into Bittensor. That must have been aided by how sophisticated and expensive it looks to me at the point. Two weeks…
SUMMARY: This video follows Travis’s journey to full conviction in Bittensor, sparked by a community debate on the controversial practice of weight copying. He reflects on Fish’s defense of the idea, Jacob Steves’ openness to unpopular opinions, and how this shaped his trust in the network’s merit-based culture. The story ties into Fish’s creation of…
BitKoop’s goal is clear: build one of the world’s most reliable coupon platforms, with validation accuracy approaching 95%. By incentivizing people to find deals through Bittensor Subnet 16, BitKoop isn’t just solving coupon validation — it’s creating a new way for AI-driven communities to deliver real economic value. BitKoop started by fixing pain points. Now,…
Culled from a tweet by Tatsu. Tatsu proudly introduces ChipForge (SN84) — the first decentralized hardware design project. For the first time in the history of this space, miners won’t just secure networks or generate proofs — they will compete to design real silicon chips. ChipForge brings hardware innovation to the decentralized frontier, making it…
The economic design of a subnet significantly influences its long-term viability and attractiveness to investors staking TAO. Subnet tokens, mirroring TAO’s structure, adhere to a Bitcoin-inspired model: a capped supply of 21 million, no pre-mine, a fair launch, and a predetermined halving schedule. Token burning—permanently removing tokens from circulation—reduces supply within this cap, signaling a…
In recent discussions with validators, BitKoop (Bittensor subnet 16) addressed a couple of pressing issues that could affect participation in its validation process. The concerns raised center on liability and infrastructure costs, two factors that may discourage validators from fully engaging in the network. • Liability – Some validators are hesitant to run the script…
By: Andy Bitcoin had miners. They built $2.2T+ of value. Ethereum had miners, then stakers. They built $570B & Growing…. $TAO has Miners + Stakers + Validators + Subnet Owners. What Most Don’t Understand (Yet): Layer 1: MINERS Layer 2: STAKERS (Validators) Layer 3: SUBNET OWNERS Brilliant Part: Every participant has skin in the game….
By: Andy The Biggest AI News Since GPT-2: OpenAI Goes Open Again After 5+ years of closed development, OpenAI shocked the AI world by releasing gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b – their first open-weight models since GPT-2 in 2019. This isn’t just another model release; it’s a seismic shift that validates everything Bittensor has been building toward….
TrustedStake, a leading staking platform and subnet investment hub, has announced a public pledge to never delegate user funds to weight copying validators — a move designed to promote decentralization and strengthen the integrity of the network. Weight copying occurs when validators replicate consensus or peer weight assignments instead of conducting independent miner evaluations. While…
