Access to intelligence should not depend on a handful of companies or governments.
This is why open, decentralized, permissionless AI matters.
This is why Bittensor matters.
Public Disclosure: First SOMA OTC Transaction
We're excited to share that 25,025 SOMA subnet owner tokens have been acquired by @const_reborn through an OTC transaction.
This is our first OTC deal, and it's a strong signal of confidence in what we're building. The proceeds will directly accelerate development and bring our product closer to public release.
Thank you, Const. This vote of confidence means a lot to the entire team and motivates us to keep building the future of SOMA.
Evercore’s token demand numbers through 2030 are absolutely staggering - 800M agents and 4 quintillion tokens annually will push data centers hard.
That’s exactly where SOMA comes in: building compression solutions that meaningfully cut tokens per intelligent task and relieve the pressure on power and infrastructure.
🚨 Update on CoT Compression Validation - we go live May 25.
We're running the competition on a real workload: @openclaw Agent + our own custom plugin solving tasks from SWE-bench Verified.
Miners' job is to ship a compression algorithm that lets the agent keep or beat baseline performance while burning fewer tokens.
Every task runs multiple times to reduce flukes and reward consistently reliable winners.
Scoring is based on two factors:
➡️ Agent quality after compression
➡️ Tokens saved
The faster we converge on production-grade compression, the faster the whole stack gets:
✅ Cheaper inference
✅ Bigger savings per query
✅ Real, deployable MCP infrastructure
SOMA can make #AI systems far more affordable while preserving the same level of capability and reasoning quality.
We’ll be at @proofoftalk together with @DendriteHQ!
Come meet the team, learn what we’re building, and connect with us in person.
If you’ll be around and want to catch up, leave a comment or slide into our DMs.
SOMA validation is shifting from QA benchmarks to real agent workflows.
@openclaw integration is already in progress.
The next round will test whether an agent can take compressed memory, reduce token usage, and continue shipping effectively.
Stay tuned 🔥
$TAO Bittensor Subnet 114 - SOMA
I had a very interesting conversation with @oli_soma SOMA co-founder… So, I can’t keep holding these answers back just because I got sick or because I’m on a trip that’s going to last 50 hours.
These were the questions I asked:
“Hey Oli, great to be able to talk with you.
Let me start with this. I have a lot of people on my profile who are just getting into Bittensor and its subnets. How would you explain, ELI5, what SOMA is building?
Once we get everyone on the same page, could you walk us through how the CoT compression competition is evolving and how you’re continuously pushing miners to perform better?
I understand you plan to use the data and results to build the product.
So… wen product?”
The answers are in the video below.
I was editing this slowly. Enough. I already sent Oli more questions and we need to move forward. LFG!
Are you bullish on SOMA 114?
I am.
🚨 Introducing the SOMA Roadmap
• Q1 2026 - Foundation in place
• Q2 2026 - CoT compression competition
• Q3 2026 - First MCP live on the marketplace
• Early Q4 2026 - More competitions across the agent stack
• Late Q4 2026 - Expanding the MCP marketplace with battle-tested tools
The vision is simple:
open competitions -> validated MCPs -> production-ready tools
Every competition sharpens real infrastructure for #AI agents.
🚨 SOMA (SN114) @SomaSubnet is now listed on the SimplyTao platform!
Here you can easily buy #Bittensor subnet tokens. Choose your preferred method:
✅ Visa & Mastercard
✅ Apple Pay & Google Pay
✅ USDT & $TAO

🇵🇱 A streamer in Poland has broken records this week, raising over 150 million złoty (about $40 million) in a charity stream benefiting children with cancer.
Patryk Garkowski, known online as Łatwogang, has been live on YouTube for 9 days, and it’s still going on.
The initial fundraising goal was just 500,000 złoty (about $138,000).
In similar streams held by Mr. Beast and others, many millions were raised, but nothing like this. Hats off to these guys.
