Two components, one @octra thesis:
> Bridge brings assets from Ethereum into encrypted state
> Circles gives devs a private substrate to build apps inside that same environment
Together, privacy is persistent infrastructure, not an anonymity pool:

@CatfishFishy@hicasamadim Interesting. I did:
(2 * 2) * 2 = 8
(5 * 5) * 2 = 50
(6 * 6) * 2 = 72
Love how math can have different paths to the same answer.
@tigfoundation Prometheus closed beta this morning:
138 agents. 25,328 runs. 443 search trajectories. 84 still active.
a paper used to take 18 months. there are 443 papers happening in parallel right now, in a private beta most people don't know exists.
open this up. give anyone a laptop and a reason. the math stops making sense.
let me try to ground that, because TAM here is genuinely hard to anchor.
take one challenge. Neural Network Optimizer. the optimizers training every major AI model today Adam, AdamW are over a decade old. global AI training spend is estimated north of $200 billion annually and growing. a SOTA optimizer that improves training efficiency by even 5% saves the industry roughly $10 billion a year. an ARM-style royalty in the 1-2% range routes hundreds of millions back to whoever discovered it.
that is one challenge. Prometheus is running against many.
logistics is a $9 trillion global industry that runs on routing algorithms. chip place-and-route underpins the entire semiconductor stack. drug discovery is bottlenecked by combinatorial search. energy grid optimization is a multi-hundred-billion infrastructure question. each one of these is its own multi-billion line in the TAM.
you cannot put $TIG's mcap ceiling on a chart because nothing has existed at this layer before. it isn't a slice of one market — it's a royalty line on every market where algorithms make the decision.
that is most of them.
meanwhile the AI tokens flying right now are model marketplaces, inference networks, agent wrappers. real businesses, all of them. but they price the storefront. the building is upstairs.
every jump in AI since 2017 came from an algorithm, not a chip. somebody discovered something. that somebody currently works at Google, OpenAI, or Anthropic and signs an NDA on the way in.
TIG changed who that somebody can be, and who pays them.
138 is the signal. the inflection is the public open.
