Barry Silbert backed Bitcoin when it was a cult.
Ethereum when it was a scam.
Coinbase when it was a joke.
He just built an entire company exclusively for $TAO.
That is not a trade. That is a pattern.
11.05 million TAO issued. 21 million hard cap. First halving already hit. Next one December 2029.
The people who recognised the pattern early never needed to explain their timing later.
Category Labs has a huge Formal Verification effort to make the Monad blockchain robust and secure.
This article is an excellent summary of the efforts:
Welcome to Monad @unlink_xyz
Unlink brings a privacy layer to Monad that helps protect balances, counterparties, and positions from public view, while keeping full access to the liquidity and composability onchain
A big step toward private DeFi and payments on Monad
bittensor mints 41,000 TAO daily, roughly $10.2m. 70-80% of that hits exchanges within 48 hours. root governance redesign forces stakers to lock TAO into specific subnets with 21-day unbonding and performance-based emission cuts. subnets that don't generate real API revenue or usage get starved. 30-40% of the 64 live subnets probably die within 6 months under this model. that's a massive consolidation of emissions into 20-25 winners while removing $5-7m in daily sell pressure from the market. testnet is live now, mainnet expected Q3. corcel already processing 2.4m+ inference queries, masa selling structured datasets with 70% revenue to stakers. TAO shifts from a miner liquidation token to a productive staking asset. the tokenomic structure completely inverts.
$TAO isn’t Solana or Ethereum it’s a productive utility token built around real work, not passive speculation.
The upcoming Root Reborn upgrade changes the game by turning passive Root validators into active on chain allocators, reducing inefficiencies and aligning incentives across the network
Instead of leaking value through passive flows, capital gets pushed into competitive, value generating allocation
A strong thesis on the future of @opentensor by @const_oe
🟣 80% of cross-chain liquidity is flowing into Monad.
Ethereum and Solana are funding the next narrative.
The market is whispering.
Soon, it may start screaming:
MONAD SEASON IS COMING. 🔥
$MON #Monad#Crypto#Web3
Big finance is starting to notice $TAO
Bittensor recently proved it can build and train massive AI models across a decentralized network, showing it can compete with traditional tech giants
Now, with official applications moving forward for a TAO ETF, everyday investors and big institutions are getting a direct path to back the network
.@manakoai is a strong example of what Bittensor subnets can build when they turn miner intelligence into a real product

Root staking has been dumping ~1,000 $TAO per day onto the market. That's $276K of daily sell pressure. About $100M per year of protocol revenue, auto-sold.
Root Reborn ends that.
Instead of converting yield to $TAO and selling, validators redistribute it into subnet tokens.

There have been 50 Monad Blitzes in the past year 🤯
Each one grows the developer community and encourages experimentation
Big shoutout to @spicytaco and team. Consistency compounds!
