BitAds | SN16

BitAds is a decentralized, proof of sale marketing network where brands stake or rent ALPHA to own marketing bandwidth, and miners earn on verified sales. $TAO

[BitAds | SN16 @bitads_ai]

We’re happy to share that #BitAds Subnet 16 has completed its first Buyback & Burn using revenue generated over the past few weeks. $TAO

The total value was approximately $1,300 (around 6 TAO), which was used to buy back 1,887 ALPHA on Subnet 16.

These 1,887 ALPHA have now been burned.

This marks an important first step for BitAds as a revenue-generating subnet. Real revenue is now being used to buy back and burn ALPHA, directly supporting the long-term health of the ecosystem.

We’ll be back next week with the next BitAds buyback.

Thank you to everyone supporting BitAds.

How to buy and Stake genesisl1:native

After last night’s thread on #GenesisL1, we received a lot of questions from people interested in buying genesisl1:native.

So we put together a short video tutorial showing the entire process:
- how to buy $wL1 on Base
- how to use the Genesis Bridge to convert wL1 into native L1
- how to stake your L1 tokens to FirstTensor Validator

If you’ve been looking for a simple step-by-step guide to getting started with GenesisL1, this is for you.

👇Repost so more people can find this guide.

Very interesting THREAD! 1/25

1. FirstTensor is joining one more network as a validator!

We discovered this new protocol at a very early stage and decided to come on board.

GenesisL1 - might become one of the most important blockchain infrastructures for humanity.

Unfortunately, BitAds SN16 has been deregistered. $TAO

After years of work, this is a difficult moment.

The BitAds journey began three years ago with a simple idea: incentivizing traffic. As we faced the ongoing challenge of bot activity, we shifted our focus toward incentivizing sales - the metric that truly matters and cannot be faked.

After countless hours of development and collaboration with our dev team, we launched BitAds V2 in the fall of 2025. Within days of the announcement, BitAds ranked #1 in price appreciation and reached the top 5 subnets for TAO inflows during its first week…all without a single client.

Six months later, we started onboarding clients and generating real revenue, reaching approximately $1,000 per week. We launched our buy-and-burn program and did everything we could to keep the subnet alive, but ultimately it wasn’t enough.

We know we’re not perfect, and there are many things we could have done better. We’ve learned a lot throughout this journey. But it’s difficult to watch a subnet that is generating revenue lose its place in the network.

It’s not that easy at all to compete with the speculation around the AI sector, and we understand that. When we say Bittensor, we say decentralised AI, rather than what BitAds is actually building. We accept that.

Does BitAds end here?

No.

We still believe decentralized marketing has the potential to prove its value. We’ve invested heavily in building the infrastructure, and everything remains in place.

Maybe BitAds will return to Bittensor in the future if we believe the opportunity is right.

Or maybe BitAds will run on its own.

This is not the end of the story.

Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way. We truly appreciate it!

#BitAds has officially locked 220K ALPHA on Subnet 16 as Perpetual Conviction.

That represents 700+ $TAO committed long-term.

We believe in Subnet 16, we believe in Bittensor, and we are here to keep building.

Locked. Aligned. Long-term.

The answer is YES. $TAO

All the tokens will be locked next Monday, on June 15.

Also, the buy-back program on SN16 will start from the same day, occurring weekly, every Monday.

#bittensor #subnet16 #sn16

[BitAds | SN16 @bitads_ai]

Starting June 15, BitAds will officially begin its buy-back program.

As promised, a portion of the revenue generated by the platform will be allocated toward buying back and injecting more $TAO into the SN16 pool.

We’re seeing something we’ve been working toward for a long time: clients are already here.

Real demand is starting to materialize.

Emissions will follow.

We wanted to share this and be fully transparent with our community.

We’ve decided to convert a portion of our team-held ALPHA into operational and development funding for BitAds throughout 2026. This is being done in two planned steps, with the second step expected to take place in the next few hours.

This is the first time the BitAds team has sold TAO from the subnet’s pool. Since the very beginning of the project, all development costs, infrastructure expenses, and day-to-day operations have been covered out of pocket by the team.

None of those costs were funded through subnet rewards. We believe it’s important to communicate these decisions openly, especially to the people who have been supporting us from day one.

On the bright side, we’re also happy to share that BitAds has recently started gaining traction as a revenue-generating subnet. Over the past weeks, we’ve seen a steady increase in both clients and active campaigns, and that growth continues week after week.

For us, this is a strong signal that the market is validating what we’re building. The idea behind Proof of Sale is no longer just a concept, but it’s starting to prove itself in the real world.

We’re still early, and there’s a lot of work ahead, but we’re more confident than ever about the direction we’re heading.

Thank you to everyone who has supported BitAds and helped us reach this point.

SocialKit joined BitAds today to reach more paying customers through performance-driven campaigns. bittensor:native

Now, through #BitAds, marketers can help bring SocialKit in front of the right users and get rewarded for verified results.

SocialKit turns videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook into structured data.

It can automatically extract transcripts, AI summaries, comments, and engagement metrics without building your own scrapers or separate integrations.

It’s useful for developers, marketers, research, trend analysis, and social listening.

Another step forward for Subnet 16.
The Proof-of-Sale network is growing.

We’ll be announcing additional clients in the coming days as their campaign setups go live.

The next step is bringing more Bittensor subnets with real products and services into BitAds, helping them reach new customers and increase sales through the network.

Thank you all for the continued support. We’re just getting started.

BitAds SN16 | Revenue. $TAO

Over the last 30 days, the BitAds subnet generated sales worth $868.

This means Bittensor now has another subnet producing real revenue.

[BitAds | SN16 @bitads_ai]

Another key aspect of the model is sustainability. BitAds will never mint more ALPHA than the revenue generated by campaigns running on the network. This mechanism is designed to prevent unhealthy inflation and ensure that new ALPHA enters circulation only when real value has been created.
