It's been almost a month since we launched our first subnet incubation: Endure, $TAO subnet 30.
The response has been great and it confirmed something we've believed for a while:
There are a lot of talented builders looking at Bittensor.
Incubation is something we definitely want to do more of.
We've already had several promising conversations for the next subnet, but we're always interested in meeting exceptional teams.
That said, we're focused on quality over quantity.
We're not looking for teams that simply want to launch a subnet.
We're looking for teams with:
πΈ a clear incentive mechanism design
πΈ a clear path to revenue
πΈ a product that genuinely benefits from being built on Bittensor
πΈ a subnet design that strengthens the broader Bittensor ecosystem
We'd rather help build a handful of great subnets than dozens of average ones.
If that sounds like you, our DMs are always open.
@XiaoLeemx04 Lium, gm, engy, almanac, bitcast, kubertee, score all doing increasingly higher buybacks, and this is off the top of my head after just waking up.
Run the revenue numbers again and I'm really impressed by the $TAO ecosystem.
I expected $100M by EOY to be a very difficult target but I can really see it happening and even being crushed.
Exciting times.
Price will catchup in due time.
$35M β $50M β $70M.
Another month, another 40% MoM increase in annualized revenue across the Bittensor ecosystem.
When we published the first SubConnect Bittensor Revenue Index, we estimated that revenue-generating subnets were collectively doing around $35M in annualized revenue.
A month later, that number had grown to approximately $50M.
Today, we're estimating $70M in annualized revenue.
That's a 100% increase in just two months.
Of course, annualized revenue is a snapshot, and the real challenge is sustaining that growth while improving margins and reducing dependence on emissions, but the direction is clear.
Bittensor is growing from the inside out.
And our expectation of $100M+ in annualized revenue by the end of 2026 is getting closer.
We'll continue tracking the numbers every month through the SubConnect Bittensor Revenue Index.
Absolutely crazy market to be fair.
The only questions I have is is this the moment to start adding and if so, what do I buy? More $TAO and subnets potentially.
Recently sold an appartment so got some fiat in the bank.
