Bitcoin rewards one kind of work. Bittensor has a very different idea of “work”

I think @LeadpoetAI (sn71) deserves a much closer look right now. Not because "AI sales" sounds good. Because Leadpoet is starting to show what a commercially useful #Bittensor subnet can actually look like. Most subnets eventually have to answer two questions: 1. Can decentralized competition produce something genuinely better? 2. Will anyone outside Bittensor actually pay for the output? SN71 has a surprisingly clean path toward answering both. Leadpoet started by finding high-intent companies: scanning live signals across the web, matching them against a customer's ICP, finding the right decision maker, and explaining why now is the right time to contact them. But the bigger story is what the product is becoming. The new Leadpoet isn't just: find me leads. It's moving toward: find the buyer -> understand the intent -> find the decision maker -> connect to CRM -> launch personalized email/Linkedin outreach -> follow up -> track replies. That is a very different product. And commercially, it matters. Their current pricing already goes from $100/m -> $500/m -> custom enterprise, with the higher tier including CRM connectivity, Linkedin + email outreach, personalized sequences, follow-ups and campaign tracking. So the opportunity isn't only to acquire more customers. It is to capture substantially more value from each customer by moving from sales data to sales execution. And this is where sn71 starts making a lot of sense as a Bittensor subnet. Leadpoet isn't trying to decentralize a SaaS dashboard. It's decentralizing the intelligence and improvement engine underneath the product. Miners compete to improve an open sales-research agent. A better agent has to actually perform better on sales-intelligence tasks. When a challenger wins, its improvements can become the new baseline. Then the entire network starts the next round from a stronger starting point. Think about the potential flywheel: More customers -> more real-world feedback about what makes a useful prospect -> better sales-agent evaluation -> stronger miner competition -> better intelligence -> better leads and outreach -> better customer outcomes -> more customers -> more revenue -> more resources to push the agent further. That is the kind of loop Bittensor should be extremely good at creating. Instead of emissions subsidizing compute for a product still searching for a market, emissions can incentivize thousands of independent attempts to improve intelligence for a product operating in a market where companies already spend serious money. And Leadpoet is no longer starting from zero. Their public site already lists teams including Dropbox, Chutes, Score, Margin, Fundable, Taureau Group and others under "Trusted by". They also won Best Product at the OKX AI Genesis Hackathon, while continuing to build the subnet-side open agent competition. The team has also been expanding customer acquisition across industries rather than limiting Leadpoet to crypto-native companies. That's important. If Leadpoet can successfully connect: Bittensor miner competition -> continuously improving sales intelligence -> better customer outcomes -> recurring SaaS revenue then sn71 becomes a very interesting example of what a subnet is supposed to be. Not emissions looking for a use case. A real business using emissions to make its product better. That's the part of sn71 I think the market should be paying attention to. Looking forward to the launch for huge V2. @gavinzaentz @SiamKidd @markjeffrey @MarkCreaser @ShizzyUnchained

One connection in AI that deserves more attention: Erik Voorhees, founder of @AskVenice was also an early @MorpheusAIs contributor. He discovered Morpheus early, contributed to the project, and helped develop the economic model behind its decentralized compute network. Then he built Venice — a private, permissionless AI platform designed to eventually tap into that network for compute. That’s the bigger picture. Venice is the application. Morpheus is the open infrastructure powering decentralized AI. No gatekeepers. No permission required. No single company controlling the compute layer. Morpheus isn’t just building another AI product. It’s building the rails for an open AI economy. And I think the market is still underestimating what Morpheus is building. base:0x7431ada8a591c955a994a21710752ef9b882b8e3 base:0xacfe6019ed1a7dc6f7b508c02d1b04ec88cc21bf #DeAI #Ai #Crypto

Most decentralized AI projects are still pitching what they could become. @MorpheusAIs is already giving the market something concrete to measure. Since launching inference on Base in Dec 2025, Morpheus has processed roughly 55B tokens, closed 370K+ sessions, and delivered 330K+ inference hours. That's why I think base:0x7431ada8a591c955a994a21710752ef9b882b8e3 deserves a much closer look. The DeAI market is starting to split into very different categories. - #Bittensor is building subnet-based intelligence markets. - #Akash is focused on decentralized cloud. - #Render has built one of the strongest decentralized GPU networks. - #Gensyn is tackling distributed ML compute and verification. Morpheus is going after something broader: An open coordination layer for AI agents, inference, compute, capital, code, and builders. And that distinction matters. Morpheus doesn't just incentivize GPUs. It aligns four sides of the network: - Capital provides liquidity and economic security. - Compute provides inference. - Code improves the protocol. - Builders create the applications people actually use. That creates a much more complete flywheel than simply attaching a token to GPU supply. The privacy side is becoming one of the most interesting parts of the thesis too. Morpheus has been pushing TEE-backed inference with support for Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP. Instead of simply trusting a provider when they say: "Don't worry, we are not reading your prompts." The longer-term goal is to verify the execution environment itself. That becomes extremely important once AI agents start handling wallets, private data, trading strategies, business information, and autonomous transactions. Then look at how base:0x7431ada8a591c955a994a21710752ef9b882b8e3 itself was launched. - No token sale. - No pre-mine. - No VC allocation. - 42M max supply. Emissions are distributed across Capital, Compute, Code, and Builders. In a market where so many projects begin with insiders owning huge chunks of supply, that structure is worth paying attention to. And base:0x7431ada8a591c955a994a21710752ef9b882b8e3 isn't just sitting next to the product as a governance token. Stake MOR -> access network compute. Providers compete for inference demand. MOR participates in network settlement. Builders compete for emissions as users decide where their stake goes. That creates a direct relationship between the token and actual network activity. The developer experience is improving too. Morpheus now offers an OpenAI-compatible hosted API. No node required. No wallet required to get started. Developers can interact with infrastructure that feels much closer to the APIs they already know. This part is underrated. Crypto infrastructure wins when users eventually stop noticing the crypto infrastructure underneath it. Security is moving in the right direction as well. Morpheus expanded its smart-contract bug bounty in 2026, with rewards reaching $100K for qualifying fund-loss exploits. Combine that with TEE work, permissionless compute, and an increasingly accessible API layer, and the architecture starts looking far more serious than the typical "AI token" narrative. What makes me bullish isn't that Morpheus has already solved everything. It's that several pieces that normally exist as separate projects are starting to converge inside one network: AI agents. Inference. Decentralized compute. Privacy. Token incentives. Developer tooling. Capital. Builders. The DeAI market can grow large enough to support multiple winners. And Morpheus is positioning itself in a part of that stack that I think the market is still dramatically underestimating. Now the infrastructure is starting to catch up with the thesis. That's the part I am watching. @DJohnstonEC @ryankcondron @Player1Taco base:0x7431ada8a591c955a994a21710752ef9b882b8e3

Just Googled "Decentralized AI" Cool to see myself, @BowenBelmer & @niccary are the faces of DeAI : ) Keep building friends, word is spreading about Morpheus and the Rise of Decentralized Intelligence

#Bittensor is spearheading this space. It is one of the most promising networks out there right now.

Combined $TAO subnet revenue grew from $35M to $50M+ in one month. 40% MoM growth.

AI is starting to move off the screen. SN112 is being relaunched as THOR Group, focused on physical AI data, models and hardware. @THORMachines is building around a simple idea: robots need better data, not just bigger models. Interesting Bittensor use case. $TAO #Bittensor

$MOR sitting at $1.32 while an automated buyback-and-burn engine keeps eating into supply every single minute. ⚡️ Yield-funded. Non-stop deflation. 🔥 Keep sleeping on decentralized AI. 🤖

We should outperform this centralized company. @openroboto @nepher_robotics @THORMachines
