Subtle trolling is the only way to distinguish bots from non bots these days

The evolution of Bittensor $TAO : - founded in 2021 by Jacob Robert Steeves and Ala Shaabana - built as a decentralized AI network goal: create an open market for machine intelligence - fixed supply of 21M TAO, similar to Bitcoin 2021–2023: origins and mainnet evolution January 2021: Bittensor launches with Kusanagi network - early mining and validation begin, ~546K TAO emitted November 2021: Nakamoto upgrade replaces Kusanagi March 20, 2023: Finney upgrade goes live performance improves, network becomes stable base layer 2023–2024: subnets and first real expansion - introduction of subnet model: independent AI markets inside the network each subnet specializes in tasks like language models, data, or compute - network scales toward 100+ subnets July 2024: major security incident - supply chain attack through a malicious PyPI package - around $8M in TAO drained from wallets - network enters “safe mode” to stop further damage 2025: tokenomics shift and halving - Taoflow upgrade introduces dynamic emissions - rewards distributed based on staking demand across subnets December 2025: first halving emissions drop from ~7,200 TAO/day to ~3,600 TAO/day TAO starts being compared more directly to Bitcoin 2026: AI narrative and market breakout - network grows to ~128 subnets - top subnets dominate emissions and usage - Subnet 3 (Templar) launches Covenant-72B - one of the largest decentralized language models - 72B parameters trained inside the network from a small experimental network in 2021 to a full AI economy competing with centralized models Bitcoin for intelligence.





It is now indisputable that Chainlink has become the standard way enterprises connect their offchain systems to blockchains @Coinbase, the largest and most regulated crypto exchange in the U.S., has adopted Chainlink to publish its proprietary exchange data onchain 🤝 ✅ Order book data ✅ Spot prices ✅ Perpetual futures data, including from Coinbase International Exchange ✅ E-mini futures data ✅ Additional datasets spanning crypto, metals, energy, and equity futures via Coinbase Derivatives Exchange All now available across 50+ public and private blockchain networks This data unlocks stronger risk management and entirely new onchain markets for DeFi across perps, tokenized RWAs, structured products, lending risk engines, and more This development follows @Coinbase's recent adoption of Chainlink CCIP as the exclusive bridging infra for ALL Coinbase Wrapped Assets, including $5+ billion in wrapped BTC When security and reliability are the utmost importance, there is no other choice than Chainlink
