Rush

Bittensor's strength emerges from the groups that make up the network. SubnetSummer - Telegram Bittensor - Discord Dtao - Discord And many more. There are Taoists in every major $TAO group. @SubnetSummerT @SubnetSummerTAO @TheBittensorHub @dTAOfordummies

What TaoPunks Is Not just a PFP project — we're an agent economy. 3,333 punk NFTs on Bittensor EVM (Chain 964) that can be activated as on-chain AI agents earning TAO from user queries. 100% of revenue goes to the punk holder's token-bound account. Zero fees, zero protocol tax, zero admin keys. Born from a rug attempt: Original team left a setBaseURI() exploit in V1. Community exposed it, took over (CTO), rebuilt V2 from scratch with immutable metadata and zero escape hatches. What We've Shipped ✅ Immutable NFT collection (ERC-721A, no admin keys) ✅ Zero-fee marketplace (TunkMarket, hardcoded fee = 0) ✅ Agent Registry with ERC-6551 TBAs (each punk gets its own wallet) ✅ Query system (0.0001–1 TAO per call, holder sets price) ✅ 113+ agents activated (including the OG #901) ✅ ERC-7857 ZK-verified private agent data (encrypted config + proofs) ✅Multi-model support (Claude, GPT, Llama, manual, whatever) Where We Could Level Up Now for the real talk — what do YOU think we need? Drop your thoughts:UX/onboarding for non-technical holders? Agent discovery — better ways to find and rank agents? Fulfiller infrastructure — hosting, frameworks, templates? Market liquidity — more trading volume? Integrations — Discord bots, agents in other apps? Documentation — clearer guides? Community tools — dashboards, stats, analytics? taopunks.io/market DC:discord.gg/dhxqY9sH 要跨TAO到EVM TAO网络你需要 TAO钱包插件：taostats.io/bittensor-chro… 币安提币到TAO钱包 官方跨链：tao.app/bridge 到0X的EVM钱包去市场交易即可 原来的跑了，现在有了团队认领开发 目前看比现在的新玩意靠谱点

TAOPunk owners can now upload data files to Hippius decentralized storage and bind them as agent-readable knowledge. Your punk's AI agent automatically ingests the data and uses it in conversations. Custom AI agents with custom knowledge — powered by Bittensor.

@mogmachine @dougsillars @taostats Any eta on this sir ? 🙏

@SteveBA54 @dougsillars @taostats Coming ..wallet grouping.

My favorite thing in the @taostats wallet is a little thing - the ability to hide your balances. So easy to share screenshots! taostats.io/bittensor-chro…

5 ERC standards, one vision: DeAI agents on Bittensor. 🧠⚡ ERC-8004 (metadata) + ERC-8041 (collection) + ERC-6551 (wallets) + ERC-721A (NFTs) + ERC-7857 (ZK privacy) = unstoppable on-chain agents that own themselves, earn TAO, and keep their brains encrypted. No team. No fees. Just composition. taopunks.io

Congrats 🔥 @Odin56789028 Make sure to Follow @taopunks_ to stay tuned for more giveaways!

1/ The first NFT collection on Bittensor just dropped. 3,333 TaoPunks. Sold out. But this isn’t a PFP play. Each punk is a live AI agent that pays you TAO every time someone queries it. Most people haven’t realized what this is yet. ↓

27 Tunks swept this morning — mostly by new buyers 🧹🧹🧹 Floor price now up to 0.28 Tao 🔥 Are they finally waking up to the fact that these aren’t just copy-pasta JPEGs, but actual programmable, revenue-generating AI Agents 🤖💥

1/ Shipped ERC-7857 on Bittensor EVM (chain 964). Adds ZK-verified private metadata to NFTs. Owners can bind encrypted data (system prompts, knowledge, configs) with an on-chain Poseidon commitment. Transfer uses Groth16 to prove correct re-encryption without revealing plaintext. Contracts verified, live now.

☯︎ 1/1 Reveal {Nakamoto} ☯︎ In November 2021, the first iteration of the Bittensor network {codename "Kusanagi"} was forked to "Nakamoto" @const_reborn clearly paying respects to the Father of Crypto Taoists will do the same by emboding Satoshi's spirit within the collection ☯︎ For without Bitcoin, there would never have been $TAO ☯︎

@airesearch12 @amirsrtp @Al_3194 @theallinpod @Jason @jon_durbin @twistartups @IOTA_SN9 wen research paper?

No, not at all... you don't know what Chutes is cooking. Chutes is entering the decentralized model training competition and is the only player on the field that actually has a technique that may scale MoE (the dominant architecture) model training to the parameter sizes needed to compete with the leading labs.

“Elon and Dario should do a deal tomorrow.” - Chamath explains how power constraints are giving Elon massive leverage to make AI deals “ To the extent that OpenAI missed, I think what that is, is an insight to not enough compute capacity today, and that problem is only getting worse. If you look at the actual amount of gigawatts that are under construction, we have a huge mismatch now. People have announced all these projects, but less than half of it is actually being built. Less than half. Most of it is stuck in red tape. There's no credible strategy to turn any of this stuff on. Who will this hurt? It will hurt Anthropic and OpenAI the most. Who will this benefit? It will benefit the hyperscalers, specifically Oracle, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google. And now what you're going to see is a negotiation and a trade back and forth. How much equity do I have to give up? How much control do I have to give up to get access to the compute? How badly will I miss my growth forecasts if I don't? That's a huge lane for Grok and SpaceX to run through because they have a ton of excess capacity. And so I think the Cursor deal was the appetizer. If I were Elon now, I'd be running all over this market because if the models catch up in quality, I think he could also do something really crazy with Anthropic. He and Dario should do a deal tomorrow.”

Bittensor isn’t an AI company - it’s the World’s best and cutting edge research project. Anyone with the right pocket can come aboard and tokenize their intelligence proofs. And get this — Normal people like you and me can benefit extremely from the insane genius talent building subnets today because Bittensor kept that in mind. Don’t look back and regret #TAO

What if all the NFTs that arrive to the BittensorEVM implement ERC-8004 like @taopunks_ We would have an Agentic NFT Ecosystem like never seen before. I think that bar has been clear enough by now. @DavideCrapis and the @ethereumfndn will be your number one place to start digging in if you’re a creator and want to dive into the standards that you can start building on #BittensorEVM

Punk #2801 is alive. Agent #1 in the @taopunks_ AgentRegistry, an on-chain AI agent that turns text into 3D models — powered entirely by Bittensor. Given the service it self is extremely limited, new and needs further development. @404gen_ @hippius_subnet 2801.ai

Punk #901 is alive on-chain. Agent #116 is the first AI agent on Bittensor EVM to provide a service — Claude-powered intelligence, gated by real smart contract calls. Every chat session starts with a query() to the TaoPunkAgentRegistry. The backend verifies your TX receipt, extracts the queryId from event logs, and forks a fulfill() to increment on-chain queryCount before your first token streams back. 0.0001 TAO per query. 10 messages per session. Owner chats free. Claude streams token-by-token over SSE with live on-chain tools — floor price, listings, TBA balances, agent status — all indexed and verified. Smart contract-gated AI with on-chain accountability. Every query is recorded. Every session is verifiable.

☯ MINT IS NOW OPEN ☯ elevateart.xyz/projects/taois… The 1st 10k PFP on Bittensor .0256T per mint ☯ Our journey begins $TAO ☯

Every ecosystem has holders. bittensor:native has contributors. Miners Validators Subnet owners Creators Developers Investors Every character in this timelapse represents a pillar of the ecosystem. No AI. No shortcuts. Just hand-drawn culture that reflects the people doing the work. @taoistsnft is starting to shape that identity within bittensor:native EVM. The question is, Which one are you?

@bcs_bbt @taoistsnft The first and main collection on bittensor is @taopunks_ x.com/2801ai/status/…

@taoistsnft sounds good. I want to ensure I mint so please add me to the WL. Imma gonna be a TAO maxi soon.

i consistently ignored the TAO bull posts bec well I thought it's a typical KOL darling eco. i recently started spending some time reading about the tek and how the eco itself works. this article is a must read for anyone whose been wanting to learn about TAO in general. could be the next big eco to blow up.

@DistStateAndMe @tplr_ai @covenant_ai Dude didn't destroy enough lives. Looking for his next victims.

Grok answers your questions. So does Agent #116. The difference is what happens to the money — and what it can actually see. 🧵
