1/7 We're excited to announce that @YZiLabs has invested in Tensorplex Labs, a decentralized AI lab co-founded by @xponentcrisis and @ckcheung, driving innovation with Tensorplex Dojo & @BackpropFinance!
Tensorplex Stake & Bridge have been deprecated. To prioritise safety, users will have to manually withdraw their existing balances. Please visit the staking page for more details.
Should you wish to stake on Bittensor, visit @BackpropFinance
Thank you for being part of this!
We are thrilled to announce that @generaltensor has acquired @BackpropFinance and the Tensorplex Validator!
Backprop Finance is one of Bittensor’s highest-volume trading platforms, facilitating billions in transaction volume since its inception a year ago.
With a vertically integrated portfolio spanning from data centers to Bittensor subnets and validators, General Tensor is uniquely positioned to scale Backprop Finance and the Tensorplex Validator into the definitive global infrastructure for decentralised AI.
We look forward to seeing these products thrive under General Tensor’s leadership.
Every milestone has been leading to this.
We're proud to announce that General Tensor has acquired Backprop Finance from @TensorplexLabs.
@BackpropFinance is the all-in-one trading terminal for Bittensor subnets - and is one of Bittensor's highest-volume trading platforms, accounting for up to one-third of the network's subnet volume annualized.
The next chapter starts now.
@Cats_CR@generaltensor The subnet 52 slot + corresponding owner alpha is sold to a new owner.
The subnet fees were never sold prior to this sale.
Stay tuned for the announcement from the new owner.

The team has decided to suspend development of the Dojo subnet.
Dojo was originally designed to decentralise the pipeline for high-quality human feedback and model fine-tuning. Throughout its development, we achieved several significant technical milestones, most notably the release of DOJO-INTERFACE-CODER-7B and our open-source contributions of human feedback data. These efforts were critical to our mission of narrowing the gap between open-source AI and proprietary, state-of-the-art models.
Tackling one of the most complex problems in decentralised AI has provided us with invaluable lessons. We would like to share some factors that led to this decision:
Whilst working with several startups on the monetisation of human feedback collection, we found that the technical cost of tailoring anti-gaming mechanisms to specific client needs made the current model economically unviable. It remains a significant challenge to build a framework that is simultaneously generalisable across modalities and rigorous enough for enterprise standards.
We believe that for decentralisation to be meaningful, it must be built upon a foundation of tangible market utility. Consequently, we are shifting our immediate focus to building commercial pipelines and validating monetisation strategies. Tensorplex will be restructuring to focus our full attention on this "utility-first" strategy.
Bittensor’s greatest strength is the diversity of its ecosystem. While our focus has shifted towards commercialisation, we believe the network thrives on a plurality of approaches - whether through research, monetisation, or attention. Our path is one of many attempts to drive the collective ecosystem forward. We hope that our insights, combined with our access to a broader enterprise network, will enable us to contribute even more effectively to the network in the future.
The Dojo subnet repository will remain public as an open-source archive for anyone wishing to fork the code and continue the ambitious mission of decentralising the human interface for Bittensor. We’ll be more than happy to support independent teams with insights from our journey, helping to ensure that the progress made on Dojo remains a valuable resource for the entire Bittensor ecosystem.
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to every miner, validator, developer, and community member who contributed their talents, resources, and feedback. Your passion is what built Dojo, and that spirit will continue to influence our future work.
Onwards,
Tensorplex Labs
