super excited about this integration with @yanez__ai the ecosystem effect of bittensor
Asem Othman, Ph.D.@asem_othman

🚀 @yanez__ai #SN54 Phase 4 C3 Execution starts May 6. This cycle is about one thing: giving miners faster feedback so high-quality work improves faster. Phase 4 C2 showed the face track is scaling: 📈 Leaderboard grew from 8 → 100 miners 🥇 New Platinum tier added 🛡️ Manual validation stayed active 📉 Faster score decay keeps rewards moving 📊 Reputation now reflects Face Variation quality, not volume Our Post-validation reputation system helped us verify miner workflows end-to-end and made it easier to separate real generation from copy/paste, loops, shortcuts, or exploit behavior. Now in C3 Execution, miners will start seeing live estimated scores on the dashboard as submissions are processed. These are not final scores. Final truth still comes from post-validation. But live scoring gives miners a much better signal: ✅ Am I following the task? ✅ Is identity preserved? ✅ Is the output strong or weak? ✅ Is my workflow producing useful data? We’re also adding @bitmind detection signals on the dashboard as a live feedback layer. Not as the final judge — but as a practical signal to help miners understand how their outputs behave against detection tools during testing. This matters because the subnet is moving from “submit and wait” toward a tighter adversarial learning loop. Generate → detect → improve → validate → reward. That’s how #SN54 becomes useful for #PoU systems. For new miners, we’re also improving onboarding: 📚 clearer submission guidelines 🎥 example workflow videos 📊 real-time score visibility The message is simple: Quality > volume. Identity preservation matters. Task adherence matters. Honest workflows compound. Execution starts May 6. More coming — stay aligned, keep building, and don’t fade early. #Bittensor $TAO

@futileturtle @bitmind 100% we will be buying back, with the goal of getting emissions and making more attractive for external investors

@kenjon @bitmind Thanks Ken. I'm assuming some of this revenue will be used to buy-back subnet tokens, or similar, to incentivise miners and keep the SN productive? 0% Emissions aren't very attractive, coupled with a down only chart.

@kenjon I think we're overdue an update on the revenue roadmap for @bitmind SN34. The chart has been down only since March of 2025. What's on the cards? How do you plan on attracting new investment into the subnet? Do you have any partnerships lined up? How do you plan on sustaining subnet growth? bittensor:native SN34

Highlights from @DCGco Summit. - As a founder/builder you can sometimes get in the weeds, especially when things are volatile. hearing @BarrySilbert perspective on $TAO and if you zoom out, how positive things look and how much progress has been made over the past couple of years was enlightening and his conversation w/ @const_reborn got everyone fired up from the start - @GSchvey had an unbelievable data driven presentation on the financial fundamentals of TAO and how the flywheel of innovation is working - getting to spend time with the Bittensor community, especially catching up with @shibshib89 and @dlawee who incubated @bitmind and gave us a shot was great. always inspiring and motivating to hear how other builders in the ecosystem continue to innovate. - New talent: meeting some of the new folks coming into the ecosystem. GIGA cracked very bullish. @actualinc @oroagents @TAOInstitute_ and many others. - lastly, getting to talk to folks outside of bittensor that don’t understand, are skeptical, or don’t believe in Bittensor yet. What’s great about the DCG Summit is diversity of talent and thought. you get to talk to very smart people who are high level operators and builders outside of the your ecosystem or vertical. not internet trolls FUDing but real, honest criticism and debating how bittensor wins and what we need to do is incredibly valuable always an absolute top-class event. massive shoutout to @YumaGroup @EvanMalanga @LindsMikeStone and the whole @dcgco team for putting on such a great event 🔥
Yuma@YumaGroup

For the second time, we brought our partners in the Bittensor community together at the @dcgco Summit to dive deep into Bittensor $TAO. A lot of momentum in the ecosystem and we’re excited for what’s ahead.

Proof of Talk@proofoftalk

Ken Jon Miyachi @kenjon is the founder of BitMind @bitmind, a company building at one of the most important edges of decentralised AI: deepfake detection. As synthetic media becomes more convincing and more widespread, the need for trustworthy verification infrastructure is becoming impossible to ignore. And this is exactly where the case for decentralisation, and for Bittensor, becomes so compelling. If the mission is to determine what is real and what is manipulated, that system cannot depend on a single entity. It has to be open, resilient, and credibly neutral. Before BitMind, Ken was a software engineer and technical lead at organisations including NEAR Foundation @NEARFoundation and Amazon @amazon. Now he is helping build the kind of infrastructure this next era of AI will depend on. This summer Ken joins us at the Louvre. June 2–3, Bittensor Track at Proof of Talk.

A big moment for subnet tokens and meaningful step forward for institutional participation in Bittensor $TAO
BitGo@BitGo

BitGo has partnered with @YumaGroup to deliver an institutional-grade solution for Bittensor Subnet Tokens. Clients can stake and trade subnet tokens within a single platform, managing exposure to the Bittensor ecosystem within the security of a qualified custodian alongside a leader in non-custodial $TAO staking since 2024.

This analysis is just wrong though…Happy to hop on a call and walk you through some stuff For the past month everything you post is negative stuff about subnets / bittensor I don’t think it’s FUD really but just speaks to that you have nothing positive to say about your own projects so you attack others Great you hold Tao tho!

@kenjon That's not FUD, that's a misaligned incentive I'd like to see fixed as TAO holder.

Bittensor's two largest subnet pools earn zero daily emissions. A subnet 111x smaller earns $47K/day in $TAO. The top pools by staked capital - the projects with the most TAO committed by stakers: > SN64 Chutes (Rayon Labs): $64.6M pool. Largest AI compute subnet by pool capital. Emissions: $0/day > SN4 Targon (Manifold Labs): $37.0M pool. Intel TDX confidential compute. Emissions: $0/day Zero protocol rewards. Now look at who actually gets paid. Smaller subnets - some with 1% of Chutes' pool - collect $40-$60K/day each from protocol emissions. SN97 FlameWire, with a $582K pool, earns ~$47K/day. That's 8% of its own pool size minted fresh every day. Chutes, with 111x more TAO locked, earns zero. These big pools aren't in the Covenant death spiral yet. SN3 Templar drains 710 TAO/day and its pool halves in 55 days. SN64 Chutes drains 135/day with a pool half-life of ~2 years. SN4 Targon drains only 32/day. But runway isn't the same as safety. Three problems compound: 1/ TaoFlow's EMA has a 30-day half-life. Once flow turns negative, it takes weeks of sustained inflows to get emission back. SN64's flow went from −107 to −135 in four hours today. Accelerating, not recovering. 2/ Alpha dilution continues with zero TAO emission. Every block, owner/validator/miner roles still mint new alpha - 99 tokens per tempo on SN64 alone. Those rewards get sold through the same pool, draining TAO. Holding alpha through this is pure dilution. 3/ Rational exit is about marginal profit, not runway. Covenant crossed that line. Chutes and Targon haven't - yet. Under TaoFlow, "too big to fail" is the trap. The bigger your pool, the more alpha the protocol keeps minting out of it, and the more you have to extract before the pool empties. The biggest subnets have the most runway - and the most incentive to cash out early.

someone built an OpenClaw agent that SELLS pool installations on autopilot. finds $500k–$1.2M homes without pools renders a pool in their backyard and mails a before/after postcard.

Alibaba just claimed happy horse 1.0 topping all leaderboards in T2V models. All top vision generation models are now chinese (SeedDance, Kling). LTX leading the way for open weights models but ranked #37. these companies have made many open source contributions but not open-sourcing the models in categories where they are SOTA.
