BitAds SN16 is moving. $TAO

We know we’ve been quiet on the marketing side, but we definitely weren’t sleeping.

Over the last couple of weeks, Shift has been deep in the trenches, reaching out to businesses, talking with store owners, and pushing hard to bring new clients into BitAds.

We’ve contacted thousands of websites, and the response to our promo campaign has been very very good. A solid number of businesses have already agreed to work with us, so expect many new listings to appear on BitAds over the coming period (we expect hundreds).

Starting Monday, we’ll begin adding new stores to the BitAds.

All new listings will be handled by Shift and announced here, as well as on Discord.

This opens the door for revenue generation from our partners, while giving miners a much wider range of products, stores, and campaigns to promote.

BitAds is entering a new phase.

The "Manual Era" of Marketing is Dying. $TAO

We are moving from Talent Management to Autonomous Systems.

By 2027, the brands that dominate won’t just have the best creators, they’ll have the best AI Agents.

Efficiency is the New Alpha!
#BitAds (Subnet 16) flips the script on traditional ads by rewarding miners only for verified conversions.

This creates a "Survival of the Fittest" marketplace where AI agents compete to drive the highest ROI.

By incentivizing miners to optimize for real sales (not just views/clicks) Subnet 16 is the exact "Performance Engine" the 2026 Industry Report says every brand will need to survive.

✅Subnet 16 update. $TAO

1. Even though the first Bitads campaign is a test for our cold start, we’ve already had a few sales.

2. We updated how orders with different statuses (Pending, Scoring, Archived) are displayed in the UI.

3. Miners will receive 1% of the incentive for sales with the “Pending” status to prevent them from being deregistered (it will be pushed next week).

4. Next week, we’ll push an update that allows us to run multiple campaigns on a single subnet slot. We’ll no longer use sub-subnets, as they limit the number of active campaigns we can run.

BitAds SN16 is LIVE! $TAO
The first Proof of Sale protocol in Web3 is officially online.

First campaign (testing phase):
BitAds – The Marketing Revolution ebook.

Miner mission:
Generate real sales for the BitAds ebook.
This is a deliberate cold-start strategy. Every successful miner task doesn’t just generate revenue — it spreads awareness about BitAds and $TAO across the ecosystem.

Important notes:
- The reward mechanism is intentionally complex and designed to prevent manipulation.
- We encourage everyone to review the logic directly in our GitHub.
- On BitAds you can become a miner in under 60 seconds -> visit our website.

What’s next:
Phase 2 - External campaigns We’ll launch the second BitAds campaign for external brands, using our own marketing bandwidth (ALPHA), so anyone can see how the protocol drives real sales.

Phase 3 - Permissionless Expansion BitAds becomes fully open. Anyone can launch a campaign, but only those who control marketing bandwidth (ALPHA) can compete at scale.

ALPHA is the gatekeeper. More SN16 ALPHA allocated -> stronger incentives -> more miners -> more sales.

This is where demand converges:
1. Brands compete for bandwidth
2. Marketers compete for rewards
3. ALPHA becomes the scarce resource powering growth

BitAds introduces a new economic class in Web3: marketing infrastructure where emissions scale only with real adoption and revenue.

The arena is wide open.
LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!

MONDAY – 02.02.2026 $TAO

The first PROOF OF SALE Web3 protocol goes LIVE!

BitAds - Stop spending on marketing. OWN IT!

[DSV @dsvfund]

We’re excited to announce we have completed an OTC investment into BitAds (SN16).

The problem with online ads is simple:
- Brands pay for clicks and impressions.
- But sales are never guaranteed.

BitAds flips that model completely:
- Advertisers only pay when a real sale happens.
- No clicks. No fluff. Only true conversions.

Everyone benefits:
- Marketers get rewarded for driving real revenue.
- Brands get transparent, performance-based growth.
- And a huge amount of wasted ad spend disappears.

This is a strong team tackling a massive, broken market with a model built around results and efficiency.

We’re proud to back BitAds and add SN16 to DSV’s investment portfolio.

[BitAds | SN16 @bitads_ai]

Having our burning mechanism in place, BitAds became a unique protocol in Web3

Most Web3 networks emit tokens based on activity.
BitAds emits based on real revenue.

We call this mechanism "Performance Burn".

Here’s why it matters - $TAO

BitAds is among the first protocols where:
- Token emission is directly governed by off-chain sales
- When performance is low, unused emission is automatically burned
- Incentives are enforced by protocol logic, not trust or promises

No clicks.
No impressions.
No artificial activity.

Only verified sales.

Because miners don’t farm tokens — they generate revenue — the network can mathematically ensure one thing:

👉 Supply can never grow faster than real economic value.

This creates a closed economic loop where:
Real value controls supply, not speculation.

Bad performance doesn’t inflate the token.
It reduces supply.

Good performance doesn’t rely on hype.
It creates organic demand.

Proof-of-Sale + Performance Burn =
One of the strongest economic designs in Web3.

This is what happens when incentives are engineered, not marketed.

Here is our Bitads dev update $TAO

What’s moved forward:
✅ We’re finishing up the improved data aggregation flows and expect this part to be completed today
✅ While working on this, we identified and addressed a data access inconsistency to prevent potential issues as the system scales
✅ We’ve started working on the Admin panel, focusing on cleaner data presentation and avoiding duplication

At this stage, core miner-side logic is becoming more stable and representative of the intended system behavior, which is an important step before broader interaction and testing.

What’s next:
▫️ Continuing Admin panel work and screen reviews
▫️ Further validation to ensure data clarity and consistency across the system

Stop paying for clicks. Start paying for sales. $TAO

A short explanation on what BitAds is by Gemini.

BitAds (SN16) turns the native Alpha token into marketing power. It's the future of performance marketing on Bittensor.

While some subnets struggle with "meaningless work," BitAds (SN16) is scaling a $1 Trillion industry via Proof of Sale.

As BitAds goes LIVE, things will get very interesting day by day.

Considering our first campaign, where miners will be incentivized to sell the BitAds e-book, the cold start can place SN16 at the top.

We are talking about every miner task bringing real external revenue to the network by selling a book in which people will discover how the marketing sector can be redefined with BitAds and $TAO.

Basically, every time a miner accomplishes its task, BitAds will receive two things:

1. Revenue.

2. Awareness.

The first campaign itself can create a strong flywheel.

We are so excited!

[BitAds | SN16 @bitads_ai]

BitAds SN16 is based on a proof-of-sale mechanism.

Miners must generate sales for BitAds campaigns.

This essentially means that all miners will bring revenue into the network.

Now just wait until you see the first campaign. We are so excited.

It could have a huge impact!

Not just in terms of revenue, but in awareness as well! $TAO

$TAO is sitting around $300

10 years ago.. #BTC was $388 and went on to pump 30,000%

Over the next decade.. I fully expect $TAO to outperform that run

[BitAds | SN16 @bitads_ai]

Why marketing needs #BitAds SN16? $TAO

❌ 50–70% of budgets are wasted;
❌ Brands pay upfront with zero guarantee of sales;
❌ Only big companies can afford meaningful reach.

BitAds compresses wasted ad spend into Marketing Bandwidth - a new asset class where every dollar lost becomes on-chain marketing power.

Instead of burning money on ads, brands (and investors) stake ALPHA -> receive bandwidth -> attract a global army of marketers who are incentivized to bring real sales.

Marketing stops being a cost.
It becomes an income-generating asset.

For the first time ever:
- Anyone can own marketing power
- Anyone can earn from global sales
- Anyone can scale with ZERO risk

Marketing doesn’t need another platform.
Marketing needs a new economic model.

That model is BitAds.

[BitAds | SN16 @bitads_ai]

The future of marketing?

A proof-of-sale mechanism on a decentralized network, incentivized by its bandwidth.

That’s #BitAds SN16.

Being built on Bittensor $TAO now!

[BitAds | SN16 @bitads_ai]

BitAds (SN16) will launch in 3 phases. $TAO

1st Phase
- We run our own marketing campaign on a sub-subnet slot → generate revenue → buy back our Alpha token.

2nd Phase
- We open the second sub-subnet slot to someone from the Bittensor community — could be Chutes, Lium, Hippius, or any other subnet with a solid product/service → generate commission-based revenue → buy back our Alpha token.

- OR we run a second internal campaign → generate revenue → buy back our Alpha token.

3rd Phase
- We discuss with the OTF team about increasing the number of sub-subnet slots on BitAds from 2 to a higher number, allowing us to add more campaigns. Each campaign will have its own incentives, burning mechanism, and weights based on the total Alpha staked. All of these will support the Alpha price and will prevent miners from earning higher incentives if the value they produce is less than the incentives they receive.

- We allow top SN16 Alpha holders to create free marketing campaigns using their Alpha. For example, if we have 5 slots available, only the top 5 Alpha holders will be able to create campaigns. This will naturally increase demand for Alpha, and therefore its price.

- OR if merchants/brands outside the Bittensor ecosystem want campaigns but don’t understand TAO/Alpha, we can simply use BitAds marketing bandwidth on their behalf (basically renting it to them) and earn commission for every sale generated by our miners.

[BitAds | SN16 @bitads_ai]

This diagram explains the war for bandwidth on BitAds. $TAO

Merchants will have to buy and stake SN16 Alpha to increase their campaign weight in real-time.

If you want miners to promote your product over a competitor's, you simply acquire more Alpha.

We are building a self-regulating marketplace for marketing bandwidth.

[Ksian τ @7ksian]

This is actually a fairly nuanced question, since rewards are closely tied to how Yuma Consensus works:
https://t.co/WfuamuD2de

We evaluate miners on a scale from 0 to 1 using the scoring mechanism outlined here:
https://t.co/uIWa7fzIfL

It’s not just about hashrate, other factors also influence the score and therefore the amount of alpha received. So while there is a relationship between hashrate and rewards, it’s not a direct 1:1 ratio.
