🚀 Opentensor unveiled Gamma tokens, a new economic layer letting subnets pay each other for AI services without touching fiat. Subnets burn alpha to acquire gamma under the proposed design.
At the Exploit Summit in Montreal, Metanova Labs said a lab partner has synthesized molecules first identified through its SN68 #NOVA @metanova_labs competitions, with a new competition planned to score entries against lab data.
🤝 Stillcore Capital disclosed a stake in SN51 #liumio @lium_io.
The community is debating what happens to alpha from deregistering subnets: burn it to reward existing holders, or lock it so teams can build an operating treasury, with some warning locked alpha needs real safeguards against misuse.

📈 SN53 #engy@engyai posted roughly $1M in revenue last month, up 36% month-over-month, leading a broader revenue surge alongside SN64 #Chutes@chutes_ai, SN4 #Targon@targoncompute and SN44 #Score@webuildscore.
The tokenomics debate escalated: locking buyback proceeds as alpha versus burning them, with some arguing the real fix is the liquidity pool curve itself, not just what happens to buyback proceeds. Critics warn a curve fix could push out participants without real conviction.
🚀 SN80 #OpenRoboto @openroboto launched Shift, a platform collecting first-person video data from real people to address the data bottleneck in robotics AI.
⚠️ Root rewards have stopped appearing on taostats dashboards, according to users tracking the issue.

A new proposal would taper emissions for subnets that don't return value, enforced through burns or conviction locks. SN25 #UR@urnetwork's token lockups were cited as a working model.
A separate concern raised: subnets taking alpha-holder investment as if it were equity, then adding formal equity structures later that dilute what holders expected. One contributor is drafting a proposal to align subnet equity structures with alpha holder interests.
taodaily_io: SN62 #Ridges @ridges_ai (Ridges) is splitting its AI coding agents by skill instead of training one general-purpose model — separating bug fixes from database work based on its latest competition results.
🚀 markjeffrey announced EXPLOIT, a Bittensor TAO conference, running Monday and Tuesday next week.

A new "emission taper" proposal would cut emissions to mature, revenue-generating subnets unless they burn or distribute revenue to alpha holders. It split the community over whether strong-earning subnets deserve less emission or more.
📈 TAO topped $325 this week, up 39% over seven days and 73% off its 90-day low.
🚀 SN114 #SOMA @SomaSubnet demoed live prompt compression, cutting token counts 76% and trimming inference costs roughly 15% for coding agents, with early access already in GitHub Copilot and Codex. SN54 #Yanez @yanez__ai landed acceptance into Nvidia Inception and the Open Secure AI Alliance. A new agent-communication subnet, SN579, launched on testnet.
⚠️ A reproducible bug is blocking users from exiting the Automated Staking Fintech strategy, tied to a web3Enable initialization error, reproduced across SubWallet on iOS, Firefox Desktop, and Brave Desktop.

A new proposal called Burnweight would turn TAO emissions into a continuous burn-based auction between subnets, with critics warning it could squeeze out research subnets that don't generate revenue to burn.
⚠️ YumaGroup says some older subnets have been buying their own tokens to inflate incentive weighting. A fix is set to be presented on stage at ExploitSummit Tuesday, Sept 29.
🔧 taostats rolled out a new dashboard UI, and users are already pushing back on usability, asking for a revert.
🚀 SN114 #SOMA @SomaSubnet launched, a novelty-search subnet for open, competitive context compression.
📈 An external estimate puts Bittensor at 25 revenue-generating subnets, pulling in $28M-$35M a year, with a projection to top $100M by end of 2026.

🚀 Metanova Labs upgraded NOVA Blueprint to a Boltz-2 scoring model, growing its searchable chemical space over 11x — from 61.1B to 678.5B molecules, with building blocks jumping from 225K to 2.03M.
📈 Hippius reported nearly 3x growth over the past 90 days, continuing its expansion as a Bittensor-native cloud project.
🚀 Exploit Summit is running "pitchtensor": two ML teams pitch live for a single subnet slot, with a crowdfunded audience vote picking the winner.
⚠️ SN108 #Prometheon @BitFanNetwork remains unclaimed by its owner, leaving its identity unverified. Moderators repeated a standing caution that on-chain identity data on explorer dashboards only reflects what subnet owners choose to set.

🚀 SN80 #OpenRoboto@openroboto's OpenRoboto became the first Bittensor subnet token listed on Robinhood Chain. All 128 subnets are reportedly slated to follow across Robinhood and Base, pushing subnet tokens into retail brokerage access.
🤝 Taostats launched its ad program in beta with YumaGroup as pilot partner. Separately, the GM confidential-AI gateway added Near AI's models plus Anthropic's Opus 5.5 and OpenAI-style GPT-6 variants, both priced below list rate.
YumaGroup's Trishool joined OpenAI's cyber program and shipped Output Guard, a new model-output alignment tool. The team says it has already closed roughly half the performance gap to the category leader.
Chutes named a new CEO with Coinbase and Toku experience. Its Parallax initiative is pretraining an 8B-parameter mixture-of-experts model in the open, publishing live training metrics as it goes.
