Building the infrastructure for decentralized intelligence.
You've been picking pools like it's 2021. But now baskets are live on 0xMarkets. Lock USDC once. ride every pool in the category. Pick your flavor: • Crypto (BTC / ETH / TAO) • Currencies (EUR / GBP / JPY) • Commodities You're still earning fees + ALPHA emissions from SN35. you just stopped having to guess which pool wins this week. liquidity.0xmarkets.io
Every milestone has been leading to this. We're proud to announce that General Tensor has acquired Backprop Finance from @TensorplexLabs. @BackpropFinance is the all-in-one trading terminal for Bittensor subnets - and is one of Bittensor's highest-volume trading platforms, accounting for up to one-third of the network's subnet volume annualized. The next chapter starts now.
We are thrilled to share that Astroware, Trishool's parent company, has been accepted in Nvidia's Inception program. By becoming a member, we are in Nvidia'a active AI ecosystem, giving us access to experts, partner networks, compute credits and VC connections. It's also a validation of Trishool's thesis and a recognition for our AI credentials.
Just got off a call with ROOST Model Community. We're discussing a partnership where ROOST evaluates Halo, the guard model we're building on Trishool (SN23), and puts it in front of their users and partner network. Companies using ROOST today: Notion, Discord, BlueSky, Matrix..
Mike Grantis @mikecontango is the co-founder & CEO of General Tensor @generaltensor, a venture builder supporting the growth and adoption of the Bittensor network through validation, mining, subnet incubation, and application development. At General Tensor, Mike works across some of the key layers of the Bittensor ecosystem, from GTV, one of the network’s leading and most trusted validators, to mining, subnet incubation, and Project Rubicon with Chainlink, which is bringing subnet tokens onto Base through CCIP. It places him close to some of the most important parts of the network’s evolution, from infrastructure and validation to subnet creation and broader market access. This summer Mike returns to the Louvre. June 2–3, Bittensor Track at Proof of Talk. Use code TAO for 30% off tickets 👇
After the recent LayerZero exploit, we are taking steps to ensure rsETH is fully secure, which is why we are migrating to @chainlink CCIP. From the April 18 incident, it is clear that LayerZero's own infrastructure was exploited, resulting in $300M in losses across DeFi. Independent reports from SEAL 911, Chainalysis, and other major leading security researchers all point to the same origin. There are questions that the ecosystem deserves answers to. And we are ensuring rsETH is secured by infrastructure that doesn't leave these questions open. That’s why we’re setting the record straight.
Subnet Summer TAO X Spaces - May 1, 2026 Topic: TAO 2026 Ecosystem Developments, Conviction Mechanism & Subnet Opportunities Our first bi-weekly X Spaces session brought together some of the strongest voices in the Bittensor ecosystem - drawing over 1,000 live listeners. Main Speakers: Gordon Frayne (@gordonfrayne) kicked things off with a comprehensive overview of the current state of Bittensor and his forward-looking thoughts on where the network is headed in the years ahead. Mikecontango (@mikecontango) took a deep dive into the future trajectory of TAO, covering key developments, challenges, and opportunities on the horizon. Macrozack (@macrozack) delivered a detailed breakdown of the Conviction Mechanism and its implications for the network. Subnet Owners Each subnet owner presented their project, current progress, use cases, and opportunities for miners and developers.
