Every cycle has one ecosystem that gets ignored until it's too late
In 2017 it was ETH, in 2021 it was SOL, in 2026 it's $TAO
We're going to look back at TAO the same way we look back at ETH in 2016
Wir befinden uns in einer sehr speziellen Situation.
In weniger als 24 Stunden sollen die Friedensgespräche in Pakistan stattfinden.
Und was sehen wir stattdessen? Trump droht dem Iran dass die USA nicht erpresst werden können und kündigt neue Informationen bis Ende des Tages an.
Und auf der anderen Seite sagt der Iran laut Tasnim dass er den Gesprächen gar nicht zugestimmt hat. Wegen Drucktaktiken und unangemessenen Forderungen.
24 Stunden vor einem angeblichen Friedensgespräch droht die eine Seite und die andere sagt sie kommt gar nicht. Was passiert hier?
Wird es überhaupt ein Gespräch geben?
Morgen ist der Tag. Abonniert und interagiert gerne für weitere zeitnahe Updates.

🚨 $TAO Governance finally fixed
Just sat through the Bittensor Discord call with Jacob Steeves.
Incase if you have missed,
Here’s what actually matters 👇🏼
First, Jacob did something rare in crypto.
He took full responsibility of Sam Exit. Apologised to affected holders. No excuses.
Now the fix, Locked Stake.
The idea is simple but powerful:
Stake × Lock Time = Conviction Score
The higher your score, the more say you have over a subnet.
No more “I believe in this project” tweets while secretly planning an exit.
You either lock in or you don’t get to lead. 🔒
What this actually solves:
🔴 Sudden rug exits that wipe holder value
🟡 Subnet owners with zero skin in the game
🟢 Trust replaced by math, protocol-level guarantees
Rollout starts on the mature subnets 3, 39, 81 first.
New subnets get a grace period. Then governance activates.
Highest conviction wins subnet ownership. Full stop.
My honest take?
This is the most important structural upgrade $TAO has ever proposed.
Not because it’s perfect, but because it replaces human trust with cryptographic commitment.
The Covenant episode hurt. But it forced exactly this conversation.
Sometimes the protocol needs to bleed to evolve. 🩸
Holders. Miners. Validators. Teams.
Everyone moves forward from here..⚡

$TAO #Bittensor #DecentralisedAI
Subnet 64 @chutes_ai just confirmed in their latest interview with @JesusMartinez that they have the capability to run 1 trillion parameter models.
let's put that into perspective for a second:
templar was making waves for running 72b models and rightfully so, that was genuinely impressive. but @chamath, when he brought up templar in a recent interview with Jensen Huang from @nvidia, thought they were running 4b models. not 72b. 4b. and he was still bullish on it.
now imagine when he finds out what chutes confirmed they can do..
1 trillion parameters. on a decentralised subnet. no AWS. no Google Cloud. no centralised infrastructure pulling the strings. just Bittensor doing what it was always supposed to do - incentivising the best compute in the world to show up and compete.
Jensen Huang talks about whoever is pushing the frontier of compute. that's the conversation chutes just walked into.
this is the kind of milestone that doesn't stay quiet for long. when people outside of crypto start connecting the dots that a bittensor subnet is running inference at a scale that rivals or exceeds what the top AI labs are deploying, the narrative around $TAO changes completely.
Chamath gets it wrong on the model size and is still impressed. Jensen sees who's actually moving compute forward. and chutes just put a number on the table that neither of them can ignore.
the noise hasn't started yet. but it will.
Lol, the article from @covenant_ai was fully AI-generated. Just scanned it with @ai_detection.
Pov: you rugged the community on millions $ and as an explanation just generated some AI slop.
Sad to see such things happens to the bittensor, but long-term I think they're good for the ecosystem evolving and further growth.
Btw i should address some of the points in the article which AI slop influencers are now repeating.
> I suspended emissions to his subnets
I do not have the ability to suspend emissions. What i did do is sell some of my alpha holdings on his three subnets, because they were not running, and were on near 100% burn code. This changed the emission the same way all buys and sells on Bittensor do. I don’t have any privilege beyond what normal TAO holders have.
> I deprecated Covenant’s channels and removed moderation rights
No, Samuel specifically deprecated his own channels which he did via a pinned comment and also a Twitter post. To be clear, he is talking about a discord channel.
> I removed his ability to moderate his community
Sam was deleting posts in his channel of genuine, honest criticism. I removed that ability temporarily and then reinstated it later. I did not remove his moderator role. I simply stopped him from deleting posts from others in his channels.
> “deprecating infrastructure”
Not even sure what this one means.
> large visible token sales
Not large. Less than 1% of what i had invested in his teams. Visibility is impossible to avoid in my position. I reserve my right to buy and sell tokens which is what underpins the entire system of dTao.
Anything else?
Last week, we released a whitepaper detailing how TVM allows us to run secure workloads on untrusted host machines
While this unlocks meaningful revenue opportunities with the enterprise, TVM is only compatible with datacenter hardware (i.e., H100, H200, B200)
Today we are announcing targonOS: a hardened OS built upon our TVM work. This will allow for secure ingress/egress of consumer grade GPUs onto the Targon network, while simultaneously expanding the security for our existing TDX VMs
By expanding our product offering, we can provide a more robust service to a larger cohort of users, while further lowering the cost of capital for compute owners
Bittensor Co-founder @const_reborn, explains how $TAO can compete with top AI labs.
“We can actually always win if we can define the problem better than them, because we can just consume theirs, put it into ours, and then beat it, and it just goes faster. Corporations just stall and die because people just don’t want to work. But the miners on Bittensor have to work, and they do”
“We don’t talk a big game and then don’t do anything. We were serving, at one point, the largest number of open source model tokens on OpenRouter for like a six-month period, and really cheap”
“In 2024, we were crushing benchmarks everywhere. We are one of the only crypto projects that actually does things that are state of the art”
On the @theallinpod this week, @chamath asked @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about decentralized AI training, calling our Covenant-72B run "a pretty crazy technical accomplishment."
One correction: it's 72 billion parameters, not four. Trained permissionlessly across 70+ contributors on commodity internet. The largest model ever pre-trained on fully decentralized infrastructure.
Jensen's answer is worth hearing too.
🚀 The last 8 months at Ridges have been a blur. Since May, we’ve shipped
- Open source agent competitions topping SWE-Bench with OSS models
- Mine with Google login, no keys necessary
- Mixed evaluations - agents running on both fix and create style software engineering benchmarks
- Ridges Beta v1 👀
- Lots of under-the-hood breakthroughs like runner sandboxing, spam detection, scaling evals beyond 1k per day
And much, much more.
Each of these moments have been pivotal in setting up for the next - but this is just the start, and we’re super excited to show you what’s next.
The biggest news in Ridges history drops in two weeks. Mark your calendars. 📅
