Wohoo won tix for the Fifa Worldcup on @Predictstreet!
Already attended one game and can't wait to go to the next one.
Opportunities like these don't always come around & if you are a fan of football and wanna attend a game you won't get a better chance to do so.
Scroll through your X rn and you’ll see half the viral videos on your tl are AI
creators are using a mix, Veo, Kling, Runway, but Seedance 2.0 on Higgs is by far the closest anything has come to looking like real cinematography.
and the money behind this is not small:
• AI UGC creators charging $1K per video, pulling $5-10K/month from brands
• sponsored posts on X paying $1k-5K depending on niche
• one viral AI video = inbound DMs from agencies, product partnerships, ad deals
• X’s 2026 creator pool literally doubled, top accounts clearing $3K/quarter on ad rev alone, before brand deals
the wild part? most of these creators started 3-4 months ago with zero film background.
the tools are right there! the only question is if you'll bet on yourself enough to make the videos and hit post.
A group of anonymous miners just did something OpenAI spent billions trying to do.
And the whole thing has an $80M market cap.
Bittensor ($TAO) might be the biggest opportunity in crypto rn and here's why 👇🏼
Their Subnet 3 (called Templar) just completed the largest decentralized AI training run in history.
→ 72 billion parameters
→ 1.1 TRILLION tokens processed
→ 70+ nodes training together
→ on normal 500mb/s internet connections
They use a compression trick called SparseLoCo that cuts communication overhead by 146x. Anyone with a decent GPU can help train frontier AI models from their house.
It scored higher than Meta's LLaMA-2-70B on MMLU benchmarks. Let that sink in.
But here's the part that really got me.
Templar isn't alone. It's part of a 3-layer stack called Covenant that's basically building a decentralized OpenAI:
1. Templar (SN3) trains the models
2. Basilica (SN39) provides GPU compute
3. Grail (SN81) does fine-tuning and alignment
OpenAI and Anthropic do all 3 inside one giant closed system. Covenant does it across open subnets where anyone can plug in.
THE NUMBERS RIGHT NOW :
$TAO up 82% in 30 days.
Subnets up 105% in the same period.
Total subnet market cap just crossed $1.1 billion.
100+ live subnets running on-chain.
Top movers:
• SN3 @tplr_ai - $79.6M (+163%) the catalyst
• SN75 Hippius - $38.1M (+42%) decentralized storage
• SN39 Basilica - $21.9M (+42%) compute marketplace
• SN81 Grail - $20.1M (+81%) post-training layer
• SN68 MetaNova - $20.6M (+97%) drug discovery on-chain
• SN93 Bitcast - $14.5M (+86%) education/content
HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY THIS :
if you want to go deeper than just buying $TAO, here's a framework:
1. Go to Taostats
2. Look at "Flow" for each subnet
3. Bigger flow = more alpha tokens accumulating = more TAO emissions
4. Find subnets where flow is increasing
5. Figure out WHY (real usage? new product? just hype?)
6. Only invest in ones with real fundamentals
The upside is triple layered:
→ The subnet token itself goes up
→ You earn emissions/yield from holding it
→ TAO goes up underneath everything
The @YumaGroup Composite Fund (100+ subnets) is up 55% YTD.
$TAO alone is up 28%.
Subnets are 2x-ing TAO right now.
THE BIGGER PICTURE:
First halving happened in December. Daily emissions cut from 7,200 to 3,600 TAO. Supply shrinking while compute demand is exploding.
Grayscale filed a Bittensor Trust.
DCG invested.
Forbes covered a subnet doing $1M/year in real B2B revenue.
This isn't a memecoin pump. This is AI infrastructure being built in the open.
Decentralized AI isn't theoretical anymore. Covenant-72B just proved it works.
it's actually wild that a permissionless network just did what billion dollar labs said only they could do.

• Daily sim perps + scaling paths for consistent performers.
happy to have partnered with Acetrader to bring awareness to their platform.
Last time I asked you guys what projects/meta you're looking forward to in 2026, a ton of you mentioned perp trading platforms and points.
So I looked into it, and found some worth checking out with real potential.
Here's a quick list of underfarmed picks 👇
➤@edgeX_exchange:
Pre-TGE Season launched Jan 7, unlocks up to 5% of total supply for community rewards. It's a perp DEX with TVL around $400M, open interest ~$1.2B, and high notional volume.
Weekly XP drops from trading perps/spot, vault deposits, or referrals, 1:1 conversion to $EDGE at TGE (expected by March 31).
➤@variational_io:
Zero-fee perps with loss refunds, 500+ pairs, early points farming (invite-only, backed by Coinbase Ventures). Low DAUs could mean higher ROI for volume grinders.
➤@pacifica_fi:
Solana-based with closed beta points, already seeing $1B+ daily vol, team includes ex-FTX COO, non-custodial setup.
➤@nadoHQ:
Kraken-backed, early testing with points converting to $INK. Focus on US compliance, low competition so far.
➤@ostium:
RWA perps for stocks/FX/crypto, Season 2 points ongoing, $23M raised, ~1.5K DAU, with oracles for market sync.
➤@AceTrader:
Not a perp trading dex but a trading competition platform with a 1M USDC prize fund, public qualifiers starting Jan 19, challenge elite traders in live arenas for high-stakes rewards.
After checking these, edgeX exchange stands out a bit more due to:
>Highest among pre-TGE perps, with 100% going to token buybacks.
>Good Tokenomics
>Strong mobile app and Upcoming features
Pro tips for edgeX XP:
>Use the mobile app for a 1.2x boost (spot trades get 3x XP).
>Hold $MARU for up to 1.15x multiplier.
>Try low-risk vaults (~32% APY on stables) or hedged trades for points.
>Stackable boosts can reach ~1.38x if done right.
Disclaimer:
-Perps involve high risk (leverage, liquidations, volatility). TGEs can delay, no guaranteed returns.
-NFA, DYOR, start small, only risk what you can lose.

Stop Scrolling‼️
Did you know Mantle's been up 68% in the last 30-days far outpacing the majors.
Ik I've been going on about Mantle for the last couple months and for good reasons.
Here's the breakdown on the latest key metrics 👇
Institutional vibes surging hard:
Daily avg $MNT holdings by institutions: +128% MoM
Number of institutional traders: +27% MoM
Institutional trading volume: +112.5% MoM
DEX performance hitting epic highs:
7-day DEX trading volume: $391M (ATH since March 2025!!)
Cumulative DEX volume: $174B
Daily DEX volume: $58.2M
Active users: 971
You must be wondering how does that compare to major coins, well to put things into perspective here's a comparison chart,
As you can see Mantle is exhibiting insane 30-day price growth as of October 14, 2025, totally outperforming the big ones that are mostly flat or dipping.
It has survived the massive altcoin liquidation event and made a significant bounce, which has been driven by a combination of ecosystem developments, partnerships, and market momentum.
Can't wait to see what else they roll out to level up the ecosystem even more!
As always NFA, DYOR.
Did you know $MNT was the best-performing L2 token (> $1B mcap) in August?
Here are some recent major events contributing to @Mantle_Official ecosystem growth 👇
🟪Omnichain Expansion
Integrated with @LayerZero_Core → $MNT now an omnichain fungible token, live on Hyperliquid.
→ More mobility, more liquidity, more demand.
🟪US Gov Data Initiative
Chosen (w/ @chainlink + @CommerceGov) to put government data on-chain.
→ RWAs aren’t just a narrative, Mantle’s in the room.
🟪Bybit x Mantle
@Bybit_Official CEO unveiled new Web3 products (Byreal DEX, stronger security).
→ Bybit + Mantle are moving like one powerhouse.
🟪Ecosystem Momentum
• $MNT rewards live on Bybit Alpha + EU
• New $cmETH pools
• Market cap grew 22.8% in one week (early August) → reached $653M.
• Up 210% YoY, hitting $713.8M by late August.
🟪Leadership Shift
Top Bybit execs literally moved into Mantle roles.
When execs jump chains → you know the conviction is real.
🟪Coinbase Futures
$MNT perps launched on Coinbase Int’l.
→ Institutions now have easy exposure.
🟪Price Action
$0.70 → $1.40 in August (nearly 2x).
→ Driven by Bybit integrations + EigenDA upgrade.
🟪UR Neobank
Launched UR: a crypto-first neobank (Swiss IBANs + debit cards).
→ TradFi <> DeFi bridge officially in motion.
Mantle team is actively adding real utility, partnerships, and infra which shows they’re actually trying to make the chain better. The ecosystem's TVL, adoption of mETH (a liquid staking token), and treasury-backed initiatives continue to drive momentum which makes the ecosystem very bullish imo.
Disclaimer:
- NFA, DYOR
- I’m a long term $MNT holder and want to see this ecosystem reach its full potential
Not many people are talking about this, but @Mantle_Official and @Bybit_Official are quietly offering some of the best yield opportunities for $MNT holders
Here’s a quick breakdown 👇
🟪 Mantle Rewards Station:
Lock your $MNT to earn governance tokens like $ENA and $EIGEN. The longer you lock, the higher your boost, simple as that.
🟪 Bybit Launchpad:
Pledge $MNT early to get discounted allocations on upcoming tokens.
You’ll also earn rewards from a prize pool, and unlike traditional staking, you can withdraw anytime. It’s got LP-like flexibility without locking you in.
🟪 Bybit Megadrop:
Earn points by staking or completing tasks, then get rewarded from the prize pool based on your contribution.
MNT is part of these events, an easy way to get exposure to new projects.
5th Bybit Megadrop just started,
https://t.co/E2YxVQZzhi
- Timeline: until June 25
- Pool: 18M XO for MNT Pool
🟪 Kaito x Mantle
Mantle also live on Kaito’s reward station. Top contributors (yappers) get rewarded with tokens. Great for active community members.
From what I’ve seen, the Mantle team is seriously going all out to reward their holders. Tons happening across the ecosystem, definitely worth keeping on your radar
AI and trading are similar.
To get really good, it takes time and effort.
There is no such thing as lazy prompting. If you want exceptional results, you need exceptional prompts - and that takes time.
Those who are willing to put in the extra effort will reap the rewards.
