The subnet template will soon have a DAG feature built in for decentralized AI workloads!
WOWZEERS
What's a DAG and who uses them?
A Merkle DAG is basically a content-addressed graph of hashed objects, enabling trustless, parallel, and mergeable state replication, unlike linear blockchains.
Used by Kaspa, Hedera, IPFS, etc.
I've said since the beginning, each subnet will eventually become a blockchain purposefully built for decentralized and trustless AI.
DAG is the perfect system for AI as it allows for non-time based data (blocks)
Testnet Hoskinson Update
✅Over 250k blocks processed
✅Over 2,500 epochs
We're not stopping!
We're updating the subnet template:
🔹 P2P connection maintenance to ensure peers are always connected to at least 1/4 of the maximum number of peers
🔹 Introducing a gossipsub protocol for P2P communication
🔹 Adding random walk functionality to the KAD-DHT
🔹 Adding support for Secp256k1 and ECDSA on top of Ed25519 and RSA
🔹Introducing a noise protocol for secure P2P traffic
Adding additional features to the blockchain:
🔹Introducing delegate accounts to nodes for business logic
🔹More events
These updates will be pushed and tested in the coming weeks.
TESTNET HOSKINSON IS LIVE
We named it Testnet Hoskinson as an ode to one of the original visionaries of blockchain, Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles).
This is a major step forward for the Hypertensor network.
Help us battle-test:
- The core blockchain engine
- Subnet template framework scalability
You can participate by running a subnet validator node:

As we focus on testing the decentralized subnet templates' scalability, which is a framework for building decentralized intelligence, no GPU is required — CPU-only machines are fully supported.
Testnet is closing in. Months of engineering, debugging, and pushing limits are about to collide with reality. The network is nearly ready to open its doors to everyone watching from the sidelines. If you thought this was just another launch, you’re not even close. The next phase is coming.
Local testing is nearly wrapped. We now need to stress test and harden the network, and push the subnet template to its limits. The subnet template is the framework and foundation for the future of decentralized AI, and we're about to prove it in the wild.
Then the gates open and the testnet goes public.
