It’s hard to grasp what $TAO actually is. Just like in the early days of Bitcoin, when asking five people to describe what BTC is, you would get five different answers > we have the same today with Bittensor. We view Bittensor as a global incentivized problem solving layer powered by game theory and utilizing all the talent in the world. It’s the Linux of data science and technology in general, with one big difference; ‘value’ is added to the equation. Therefore, developers and entrepreneurs that believe in Open Source tech are able to put their skills to the test, solve problems, build applications and monetize them. It takes years to build sustainable businesses and gain wide spread adoption. Although it might not seem like it from afar, it’s in full force on the network and stellar teams are building the foundation for a new breed of Open Source tech companies. We can’t wait to see the first killer apps that hit mainstream powered by Bittensor 🚀

What is Gamma? A transferable on-chain gift card with a fixed dollar value. @const_reborn explains at @ExploitSummit: Burn a subnet’s alpha at an oracle price to mint Gamma. 1 Gamma = $1 of usage on that subnet only. 4 key points: * Value is fixed after mint. Alpha price moves don’t change it. * Spendable only on that subnet. * One-way. No conversion back to alpha. * ⁠Transferable and recorded on-chain. Instead of buying credits from the subnet’s off-chain system, you buy Gamma. Wallet-signed. Public balances. No signup. For agents, buy-and-deposit is one transaction. Spending $10 of Gamma means $10 of that subnet’s alpha was bought and burned. Usage and alpha demand are the same event. Existing credit systems can stay. Optional path, not a replacement. #bittensor $TAO

Bittensor update v468 is live. Root validators can now actively rebalance their baskets, not just direct new yield, but swap alpha they already hold into other subnets. That’s the last piece of Root Reborn: validators as allocators, accountable to the root stakers who pick them. If you stake on root your initial TAO is untouched. Only unclaimed yield moves, and its value can change before you claim. You can buy a share of a validator’s whole basket with TAO, that TAO is at risk. Guardrails cap concentration, daily turnover, and short-term price games. Still check claimable balances and who you delegated to. Also: dust claims are skipped (cheaper claims), and a root claim costs 0.008 TAO after the fee cut. #bittensor $TAO

Overview of the new root staking changes by @const_reborn on Novelty Search yesterday. New token representation in the form of Beta, which is the overall basket of alpha represented by 1 share that fluctuates based on the yield produced by the basket. More yield therefore means a higher Beta price = more returns. Each basket can be quantified as an independent token, but is not currently tradable. @opentensor is now working on making these baskets of alpha tokens tradable. #bittensor $TAO

Hey #Bittensor community, The next London UK event is booked ( at a NEW LOCATION - see below ) ! 🍸🍻 With @ExploitSummit round the corner we had to find an appropriate date beforehand alongside the availability of @bitstarterAI which will be joining us to make this social even better than before. Therefore we are organising the TAO social on Monday the 21st of September (NEXT MONDAY)! With an exclusive section for bittensor:native enthusiasts. Whether you're deep in subnets or just getting started, come share knowledge or learn something new. Details: - 21st September, 7:30pm onwards - The Crown Tavern Clerkenwell (43 Clerkenwell Grn, Greater, London EC1R 0EG) - 5-min walk from Farringdon Station RSVP ON THE LINK BELOW IF YOU CAN JOIN 👇 luma.com/10hexs52 Decentralised connections, real conversations 🗣️ #Brittensor 🇬🇧 #TAOsocial

Check out the new user interface on our website neuralteq.com/subnets New updates include: More subnets represented within tighter rows (check out screenshot - as a response to public feedback) New columns: New validator index - Relative support from the top 20 root validators, weighted by each validator's stake, with the leading subnet score being 100 Allocation factor - Share of the top validators combined root stake allocated to this subnet. Each validator allocation is weighted by root stake; factors across all subnets sum to 1 You can also check which subnets are at risk and which are within the immune period by scrolling through the subnets on our dashboard #bittensor $TAO

$TAO is trading around $267 after a 12–14% move into the weekend and a push toward $277 today. Volume and open interest both expanded. Next clean level the market is watching is $300. We always believed the fresh liquidity would come from the subnets demand and revenue but a new threshold awakens. Canonical $TAO is live on Solana, and launchpads are now pairing memecoins against TAO instead of only SOL. Early names like $BUTT and $CONST need TAO to trade bringing more liquidity into TAO despite the controversial means. Some of those pools also route fees back into TAO buys. That is a new retail liquidity surface for Bittensor. Attention is noisy and speculative. Price still follows real subnet work. Liquidity just got a second door. $TAO #Bittensor

@TAOTemplar Hypothesis in Fruition (@Bitcast_network ): - 🥇First subnet that actually covers miner costs with real revenue. Outcast (YouTube) + Stitch (X) are both already profitable vs emissions. - Currently there is ongoing different X segments promoting ecosystems/businesses , including 2 non-Bittensor campaigns which according to @Tom_dot_b are actually bringing in more revenue than the Bittensor ecosystem as suggested on @WeAreSubConnect today. - Subnet owner wallet is clean (no excessive dumps or shady transfers). - They haven’t even started selling the data or expanding to other platforms yet, so there is still SO much room for progress. Proves Bittensor doesn’t have to be pure AI. - New infrastructure enables bitcasts price to accumulate by having the builders stake Bitcast alpha to launch campaigns. Honestly these guys have been cooking these past few months and the chart is finally doing them justice. 🚀 #Bittensor #Bitcast #TaoTemplar

The Linux of AI TAM? Trillions $$ $TAO

If you understand and love $BTC, this is $TAO, the decentralized marketplace. Bitcoin is a decentralized network where miners verify transactions and get paid in BTC for their work. Bittensor takes that same idea of open participation driven by incentives and applies it to digital work, especially AI. Instead of one shared ledger, Bittensor runs many specialized markets called subnets. Each subnet defines a specific task (like generating text, providing data, or offering compute). People compete to do that work well, and the network rewards them with TAO. No single company owns the intelligence. The network coordinates it through incentives, just as Bitcoin coordinates money without a central bank. Miners, validators & subnet owners: Bittensor works because different participants do different jobs. Miners produce useful work, validators judge the quality of that work, subnet owners design the market, and stakers decide where to place trust and capital. Miners perform the actual work a subnet requests (the decentralized freelancer) - generating model responses, supplying data, compute, storage, predictions, or other infrastructure. They compete for rewards based on how well their output matches the subnet’s incentive design. Validators evaluate miner outputs and submit scores that determine how incentives are distributed. The best ones also build tools that help the whole ecosystem. Neuralteq runs validator infrastructure while developing a non-custodial platform for subnet research, staking, portfolio tracking, and trading with strong MEV protection. Choosing a validator like us means your stake supports both reliable evaluation and ongoing product development that benefits traders and stakers across the network. Subnet owners create and maintain the subnet itself. They define the task, design the incentive mechanism, publish the code, set the rules, document everything, and drive demand for the work the subnet produces.

The latest Hash Rate podcast (Ep. 183) with @markjeffrey dives into the goals of achieving the intelligence layer within robots by the @openroboto team (@quack_builder & @FeishiWang) on SN80. Robotics remains far behind the progress LLMs have achieved. LLMs primarily recognize patterns in text and numbers. Robotic fine tuning must build on true 3D spatial understanding, physics, and real-world dynamics which is a far more complex challenge with scarce data. As the guests noted, current robot companies excel mainly at the mechanical side (smooth, capable bodies from Tesla, Unitree, Figure and others). Mark Jeffrey mentions that even Tesla Optimus demos are largely “puppeteered” via teleoperation rather than running true autonomous AI brains. Full general autonomy is still a distant goal. OpenRoboto is tackling the intelligence layer head-on through open public competitions on Bittensor. Starting from the strong π0.5 VLA base, miners fine-tune and submit models evaluated on rigorous, randomized LIBERO-Pro benchmarks. Early results are already compounding: the base has been beaten and replaced multiple times, with success rates rising substantially (from ~0.60 baseline toward 0.85+ on leaderboards) across 100+ submissions. Improvement happens in the open for everyone. This is exactly the kind of verifiable, incentive-aligned progress the network is built for. Strong work from the SN80 team, we are looking forward to see the next stages toward real robot validation. #bittensor $TAO

Charted SN-63 on @Neuralteq platform. Weekly it looks decent but on the daily we still have work to do, EMAs aren't crossing just yet. #bittensor bittensor:native As requested by @Timmer56566787.

Some charts are really starting to look REALLY good right now in dtao. @SynthdataCo looking like its bled out enough. (Synth is a volatility prediction subnet on different assets/cryptos/commodities.) R/R is crazy here, 76% alone up to the previous range and EMA's starting to change direction/ coil. #bittensor bittensor:native @Neuralteq

A phenomenal breakthrough for infrastructure on Bitcast 🔥. 1) What Bitcast is, and how it stimulates marketing with decentralised miners Bitcast (SN93) is a decentralised creator marketing protocol on Bittensor. It connects brands with creators through performance-based incentives. Unlike other subnets the miners do not need compute or specialized software skills, they fit the roles of creators or influencers online that produce content that fulfils defined campaign briefs on X and YouTube. Validators verify real engagement and influence metrics. Rewards flow on chain via the Bitcast alpha token, aligning incentives so that only measurable, genuine attention is compensated. Bitcast uses AI to efficiently pick up patterns between trusted miners to value good content and make uplift them in the rankings between other miners. 2) What these new changes mean and how this changes the fundamental infrastructure of Bittensor Stitch3 proved the model. Bitcast is now opening its X mechanism as shared infrastructure. Other teams can build their own creator, ambassador or affiliate products directly on top of Bitcast’s mapping and incentive layers. This effectively turns Bitcast into foundational infrastructure, a “subnet of a subnet.” Builders retain full control of their own interface: miners sign up on the builder’s website, campaigns are managed through the builder’s dashboard, and leaderboards carry the builder’s branding. To the end user it feels native; underneath it runs on Bitcast’s infrastructure. 3) How Bitcast benefits and how alpha is recycled Value accrues back to the subnet by design. To launch a product on the network, builders must stake Bitcast alpha. Every new product and every campaign creates direct demand for alpha, recycling activity into the token and strengthening the underlying subnet economics without Bitcast needing to own every application or customer relationship. 4) Growing revenue and the path to multiple products Stitch3 (Bitcast’s first product) generated $32k in buybacks last month and is on track to more than double that this month. Stitch3 was the proof of concept. With the infrastructure now open, additional independent organisations will launch their own products on the same rails, multiplying campaign volume and alpha demand beyond what any single team could achieve alone. 5) Open for builders Bitcast is actively seeking teams that want to build marketing products on this mechanism. If you have a niche, an audience, or a creator-facing product idea and want to leverage Bittensor’s miner incentives, the door is open. The incentive mechanism works. The commercial model works. Now the infrastructure is being handed to the builders who can scale it further. Stake SN93 with Neuralteq. #bittensor $TAO

Root Reborn is live! Below we’ll explain what that means for root holders and why Neuralteq is a great validator to choose for these changes. Here are the changes coming for every $TAO holder on root. (Firstly for those that do not understand root) What is Root? Root (subnet 0) is TAO’s built-in claim on the emissions of every subnet. Stake TAO on root and you own a proportional share of the inflation produced by all 128 subnets. Root's proportion to network and alpha 5.44M τ ($1.03B) sits on root. That’s 48.7% of every TAO ever minted and 73% of all staked TAO. The old problem Until today, that capital was sterile. Every block, the dividends were force-sold into $TAO the second they arrived. Which meant 983 τ of permanent sell pressure hitting the pools every day. Root was an unforeseen tax on the entire network. Root Reborn fixes this Dividends no longer auto sell. They now land in on-chain baskets controlled by the root validators you stake to. At launch the dividends simply accrue in place as subnet alpha, meaning zero selling and zero sell pressure 😊. Later, validators will set weights so the yield compounds inside the subnets they believe in. Net flow at the pools: from –983 τ/day → ≈ 0. What this means for you Your root stake is no longer just passive yield. It is now managed capital. The validator’s allocation skill becomes the difference between 6.6% base and real compounding APY. Why Neuralteq We are one of the initial most trusted validators on Bittensor. We have no legacy bias to any subnet. Our only job is to surface the highest conviction opportunities including the subnets that will actually earn, the ones with real potential, and the ones that deserve capital. Root is no longer just a parking lot. It’s now an active allocation layer. Stake with conviction. Follow for the signals. Choose Neuralteq as your validator for the most reliable results. #bittensor #dtao #neuralteq

Root Reborn is approaching fast, coming Monday looks to be D-Day As a reminder, this upgrade will convert Root (TAO) dividends and reinvest them across subnets according to each validator’s strategy. That means validators with the strongest knowledge, execution, and allocation strategy will be best positioned to maximize APY for their nominators. We’ve been part of the Bittensor ecosystem since the beginning. We know the teams, the technology, and the constantly evolving meta. Most importantly, we have zero subnet affiliations, allowing us to remain truly independent and objective. That is our promise when Root Reborn goes live. Trust is everything. $TAO #bittensor

They say size doesn't matter... but sometimes it does! Weekly and monthly candles are now live on Neuralteq, as requested by our users. We also improved switching between timeframes by showing your favourite timeframes in the header menu. Earlier we already added a toggle to go take your charting sessions full screen, specially for those who don't like small... candles ;) What should we add next?

Big update 👇, please check it out and give it some ❤️
