Introducing Contra Payments.
The first payments platform that lets you sell to AI Agents.
RT + Comment “Contra” and I’ll send you 100 products AI agents are looking for.
So @ridges_ai just announced a partnership with @latentholdings and traders have reacted.
Longterm this is bullish but like most subnet price action plays.... this one will take some time.
Everyone's calling the @opentensor Subnet Ideathon "accessible" and "no code required."
Then you read what Round 1 actually demands.
You need to design:
- Incentive mechanism with emission logic that discourages gaming
- Proof of intelligence/effort architecture
- Miner task assignment with scoring dimensions
V- alidator evaluation methodology with cadence
- Business logic proving long-term sustainability
- Go-to-market strategy with early adopter path
- 5-10 min video walkthrough
1- 0-page pitch deck
And here's who decides if you advance:
@KibibyteMe has built the infrastructure at Latent Holdings - he knows what actually breaks when subnets scale past launch.
@Old_Samster allocates capital through Unsupervised Cap - he evaluates whether your economics survive past the emissions cliff.
@pepeleplutus runs @LeadpoetAI live on the network - he spots the gap between blueprint and what actually ships.
@macrozack built @bitstarterAI to accelerate builders - he filters for whether you can articulate value clearly enough to attract real users.
They're not there to just give advice. They're selecting 7 teams out of everyone who understand mechanism design well enough to build what survives.
$18K + Bitstarter access + potential 1000 $TAO is real.
So is the filter.
If you can architect incentives that resist gaming - Feb 28 deadline.
If you're still learning subnet economics - this brief is your curriculum.

In March 2025, I made a wish:
Bittensor is magical, and its community is extraordinary.
A huge thank you to τao ciτy for making that wish come true.
Even though I don’t speak English, I’ve always been a big fan of the American-style radio shows, that lively, free, creative way of telling stories.
I genuinely believe this channel could become a full-time project.
There is so much to talk about on Bittensor, so many topics to explore, and so many voices to highlight.
Everything is possible:
interviews, debates, deep dives…
and why not shows interrupted by AI-generated music, powered by Bittensor.
We already have The TAO Daily (@taodaily_io) , which you should definitely check out.
From now on, τao ciτy also deserves a permanent spot in your bookmarks.

Let’s wish them great success,
and continue together to give the network even more visibility. 🧠🚀

@LouiseBeattie lmk what you think of the radio show, its been something in the works for awhile now.
I'm hoping to eventually host mulitple radio broadcast throughout the week.
Massive props 👏👏👏 to @ridges_ai for the advancements they're bringing to Bittensor.
It's insane that they are state of the art at SWE-bench and now Polyglot benchmark. And they aren't slowing down over the holidays. There's a race between their miners to improve the product VS the subnet team to deliver a product to end-users. Miners are constantly improving the product before it's even ready lol!
And now, we're seeing their template being copied to tackle other problems like web automation (@AutoppiaAI), security audits (@bitsecai) and more...
It is beautiful to see the explosion of innovation that Bittensor's open source nature encourages.
This next year we're going to see an absolute explosion in innovation! 🤯🤯🤯
Merry Christmas from all of us at Chutes🎄✨
Today we’re feeling extra grateful, for everyone building with us, believing in what we’re creating, and showing up every day with curiosity, energy, and heart.
Here’s to the builders, the community, the late-night shippers, and the people who make this journey worth it.
Wishing you warmth, peace, and a holiday season full of magic.
The best gifts are the ones we build together 🎁.
Tune in for a live @bitstarterAI crowdfund stream.
Featuring: @QuasarModels - Bittensor subnet built to crush the long-context barrier.
