From an African student to a network vagabond — my journey to 10,000 $TAO began with my last $50 after a major setback.
Every block is a victory. Every challenge, a step forward.
I’ll share raw reflections & key #Bittensor updates.
Perseverance is my motto.

This is not the outcome we’d hoped for.
But as always, we want to be upfront with the community.
Hermes is next in line for deregistration, and we don’t see a clear path out of the position we’re in.
With that in mind, we want to give you advance notice that in 8 hours’ time, we will be liquidating our alpha holdings to cover operational expenses incurred since launch. Up until now, these costs have been covered out of pocket, and we have not previously sold any alpha.
We’re sharing this ahead of time because we’ve always tried to lead with transparency, especially in moments like this.
We understand the weight of this update and deeply appreciate everyone who has supported us along the way.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. We’ve truly valued the ride and only wish it could have gone on longer.

Bittensor $TAO
‼️ Beware of the SN80 scam.
It is going to be delisted, so it is changing its name to make people think they are building something. It is a scam for the weak. The first ones to sell their alphas will do well.
We're very excited to announce DNA Fund @ThisIsDNA as a key strategic investor in Talisman, bringing serious firepower at the intersection of Web3, AI, and capital markets.
DNA's proven track record adds rocket fuel to our AI vision.
🧭 Bittensor Halving: Quick Overview
Projected around Dec 11: the block reward drops 1 → 0.5 $TAO, reducing daily issuance from ~7,200 → 3,600 TAO.
This is a supply-based event (triggered by minted supply), designed to slow new issuance and reinforce long-term scarcity.
What to expect
- Less TAO flowing to subnet rewards/liquidity → thinner pools and higher volatility, especially for newer subnets
- Competition for emissions intensifies; efficiency and performance matter more
- Staking yields may compress as incentives rebalance across the network
We’ll keep posting clear summaries as we get closer. 📎 Save this for reference.
We can iterate very fast on decentralized networks now.
The tools are being built on Bittensor that allow us to upgrade protocol incentives 10 times per day and hundreds of times per month.
And with subnets running multiple mechanisms we will be able to A/B test monetary regimes and incentive curves like normal products.
For instance, below is the last 3 weeks of training runs on Templar. Here optimization speed is measured in run count not protocol releases by new tokens protocols
We're converging on a future where we can program production economic regimes like we spin off coding agents.
Pretty cool.
taostats just rolled out dynamic tao (dtao) swap upgrades—huge for onchain flows. you’re no longer boxed in by centralized root evaluation; now, tao holders decide which subnets win by staking directly into subnet reserves, with every move showing up live. this is pure open-market emissions: swap execution is fast, spreads are tight, and there’s finally enough liquidity to size in and out of alpha tokens when you spot signals.
snapshot: sum_price is at 1.07 tao, only 12.12% of tao is actually staked in subnets, with 54.04% parked on root. that’s key—most capital is still waiting, but frictionless swaps mean you can rotate instantly when momentum builds or exit if signals flip. if subnet α demand accelerates, alpha prices can break out fast—especially since supply is constrained and root isn’t dumping. upside is asymmetric: catch early flows into emerging subnets, move size with no slippage penalty, and use the live taostats dashboard to read intent in real time.
this update is big for professional allocators and early-stage contributors—subnet winners get funded meritocratically, and emission cronyism gets crushed. no spin here: with dtao swaps, you’ve got the toolkit to ride (or sidestep) every alpha rotation the second it starts. 🚀
IMO SN62 will be the pioneering $TAO subnet to hit escape velocity and spark massive TAO adoption. Youth, brain, eloquence, dedication, and four watches⌚️ Dude is a chad
