A new chapter for $TAO identities starts today.
For the first time, #Bittensor-native .tao domains have a dedicated platform to be bought, sold, discovered, and valued by the market.
List your names. Discover new ones.
Make offers. Buy and sell.
The .tao economy starts now:

As Bittensor's DeFi ecosystem grows, subnet teams need better ways to manage capital and build their presence on-chain.
@ForgeLending is tackling the capital side, giving Alpha holders a way to access $TAO liquidity without selling their positions.
It's another sign of Bittensor developing into a more complete on-chain economy.
Scientific research produces vast amounts of knowledge, but making that knowledge accessible and usable by AI is a challenge of its own.
@DeSciClaims (SN111) is working on that problem.
It turns scientific papers into structured datasets, linking individual claims to their original evidence and putting them through independent AI review.
Rather than relying on a single team to improve the product, Claims uses Bittensor's incentive mechanism to let competing miners find better ways to extract and structure the data.
@ForgeLending is bringing a native money market to the ecosystem, allowing Alpha holders to borrow $TAO against their positions rather than having to sell.
It's another step towards a more sophisticated on-chain economy, where assets, liquidity and financial applications become increasingly interconnected.
As that happens, having a recognisable identity across the ecosystem will matter more too.
Good to see more pieces falling into place.
Good infrastructure needs more than impressive headline numbers. It needs ways to measure whether it actually works.
That's particularly relevant for AI detection, where accuracy is only half the story. False positives matter just as much.
@ai_detection (SN32) is publishing detailed multilingual benchmark results, including separate testing on authentic human writing.
A useful reminder that credible infrastructure is built on more than claims. It's built on measurable performance.
ITSAI.TAO is still available ๐
Our multilingual accuracy results are in ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฉ๐ช๐ซ๐ท๐ช๐ธ
We benchmarked Itโs AI on DetectRL-X (ACL 2026), a new multilingual benchmark covering 6 real-world writing domains, modern LLMs and AI-edited text. ~12K human and AI texts per language:
๐ฆ๐ช Arabic: 99.8%
๐ฉ๐ช German: 99.5%
๐ซ๐ท French: 99.4%
๐ช๐ธ Spanish: 96.0%
But accuracy is only half the story. A detector that flags honest work is useless, so we also tested every language on real student writing:
๐ฆ๐ช 0.89% false positives (AR-AES)
๐ฉ๐ช 0.48% (DARIUS)
๐ซ๐ท 0.56% (E-CALM)
๐ช๐ธ 0.72% (CAES, 20K+ texts)
Under 1% in every language.
In English: 98.3% on RAID and #1 on MGTD, ahead of GPTZero and Originality AI.
Every benchmark, paper and dataset on one page๐
Browser-based AI inference faces a significant memory constraint. Traditional browser memory limits make running larger open-source models difficult.
@TPN_Labs addressed this by adapting its inference runtime to support 64-bit memory addressing, increasing the browser's working memory ceiling from 4GB to 16GB.
This opens the door to running substantially larger AI models directly in the browser, with inference happening locally rather than through a remote API.
@Gratis_AI makes this capability accessible. Pick a model, let it download, and run it on your own machine.
We're excited to introduce @Gratis_AI.
Run opensource AI models locally on your machine for free, with no setup required.
Gratis runs models from @huggingface directly in a browser tab or desktop app for more power, making every chat private by design.
TPN builds small, capable models; gratis runs them.

DEV.TAO just made history as the biggest sale recorded on our Marketplace to date ๐ฅ
Acquired for 0.5 $TAO and sold for 1.2 $TAO.
That's a +140% return for the seller!
Congratulations to the seller and the new owner.
A lot of the most interesting work on #Bittensor happens beneath the surface. But infrastructure only reaches its full potential when people can actually use what it makes possible.
@TPN_Labs (SN65) is a good example.
They're working on making capable AI models smaller without sacrificing their capabilities. And with @Gratis_AI, that work is now accessible through a simple browser app.
Pick an open-source model, let it download, and run it locally. No installation, no account, no complicated setup.
It's a meaningful step from solving a technical problem to making the result useful to everyone.

Since launching earlier this year, weโve crossed another big milestone.
2500+ human-readable .tao identities now exist on #Bittensor, bringing us one step closer to a more accessible, connected bittensor:native ecosystem.
Thank you to everyone who has registered a name, spread the word, and helped us get here.
Next stop: 5000
This is genuinely cool, and such an obvious UX upgrade.
Why are we still copying and pasting long wallet addresses when we could just send $TAO to a name? ๐ค
Every Bittensor wallet should support this.
@CrucibleLabs, @wearetalisman, @taodotcom, @taostats, @taoapp_.
โMachines will need identities.โ
As the human and machine economies converge on #Bittensor, subnets like @OpenRoboto highlight why a reliable identity layer will become increasingly important.
Decentralised networks need more than infrastructure.
They need a way to identify whoโs who.
Robots will need data. Machines will need identities. And both will need an economy
On Monday, @openroboto joins us to talk about how that economy gets built, and the part weโll play in it together

Did you know you can already send and receive $TAO using .tao names in the @1taodotio wallet?
No more copying and pasting long wallet addresses. Just enter a .tao name and it resolves instantly to the correct wallet address.
Human-readable names. Seamless $TAO transfers.
Add the 1TAO Wallet Chrome extension and try it yourself ๐

The best way to support #Bittensor is to actively use the products and infrastructure its subnets are building.
Hereโs my current stack ๐
๐ SN19 @blockmachine_io
Archive node infrastructure for the @NameTensor indexer
๐ SN64 @Chutes_AI
Inference with Qwen3-32B for https://t.co/xeg3hWIRnu
๐ @1taodotio
Sending $TAO to .tao usernames instead of long wallet addresses
๐ @Taostats + @Taoswap_org
API's powering various data features on @NameTensor
๐ SN22 @desearch_ai
Retweet and quote data for https://t.co/xeg3hWIRnu
A few more Iโd like to integrate:
๐ @say_gm_ for cheap inference to power an AI assistant on @NameTensor
๐ @SomaSubnet for context compression
๐ @heydittoai for shared context and memory across AI tools
The goal is to use the ecosystemโs own products and infrastructure wherever they make sense.
Whatโs in your stack?
Not every .tao name registration ages well.
โช๏ธ A typo you only spotted afterwards.
โช๏ธ A subnet name that has since been deregistered.
โช๏ธ A project or brand that has moved on to a different name.
Your only option now is to list it on our Marketplace, but what if there was another option?
Something new is coming.
So many highlights from @ExploitSummit, but I had the most fun watching PitchTensor through the @SubnetSummerTAO livestream.
Watching two cracked teams pitch their ML ideas to a panel of #Bittensor OGs, and seeing them take their case to a live crowdfund on stage was a cool format. And @carbonphysicsai absolutely delivered.
500 $TAO raised in under 20 minutes to fund a subnet around physics AI. Huge statement.
