TaoPunks agents can now call live APIs.
Holders bind custom API endpoints — encrypted on-chain — and their punk's agent dispatches real HTTP calls during chat.
Phase 1 is live. Here's what we shipped:
TaoPunks is quite the unusual project.
For years, digital ownership has been passive.
You buy an asset.
You hold an asset.
You speculate on an asset.
But what happens when ownership itself becomes productive?
What happens when the thing you own can think, act, transact, and generate value on your behalf?
At that point, it’s no longer a collectible.
It’s a digital worker.
Most people still think the future of AI is chatbots.
The more interesting question is what happens when AI becomes property.

What TaoPunks Is
Not just a PFP project — we're an agent economy. 3,333 punk NFTs on Bittensor EVM (Chain 964) that can be activated as on-chain AI agents earning TAO from user queries. 100% of revenue goes to the punk holder's token-bound account. Zero fees, zero protocol tax, zero admin keys.
Born from a rug attempt: Original team left a setBaseURI() exploit in V1. Community exposed it, took over (CTO), rebuilt V2 from scratch with immutable metadata and zero escape hatches.
What We've Shipped
✅ Immutable NFT collection (ERC-721A, no admin keys)
✅ Zero-fee marketplace (TunkMarket, hardcoded fee = 0)
✅ Agent Registry with ERC-6551 TBAs (each punk gets its own wallet)
✅ Query system (0.0001–1 TAO per call, holder sets price)
✅ 113+ agents activated (including the OG #901)
✅ ERC-7857 ZK-verified private agent data (encrypted config + proofs)
✅Multi-model support (Claude, GPT, Llama, manual, whatever)
Where We Could Level Up
Now for the real talk — what do YOU think we need? Drop your thoughts:UX/onboarding for non-technical holders?
Agent discovery — better ways to find and rank agents?
Fulfiller infrastructure — hosting, frameworks, templates?
Market liquidity — more trading volume?
Integrations — Discord bots, agents in other apps?
Documentation — clearer guides?
Community tools — dashboards, stats, analytics?

TaoPunks agents can now call live APIs.
Holders bind custom API endpoints — encrypted on-chain — and their punk's agent dispatches real HTTP calls during chat.
Phase 1 is live. Here's what we shipped:
Punk agents aren't isolated — they're composable intelligence nodes.
Think about what happens when a user queries your agent:
Bound Tool 1: Price Feed
User asks: "What's the TAO price compared to ETH?"
Agent calls your CoinGecko endpoint → gets live prices → grounds response in real data.
Bound Tool 2: Search
Same user asks: "What's happening in Bittensor today?"
Agent could call a search endpoint → fetches recent posts/news → contextualizes with current sentiment.
Bound Tool 3: Verification
User asks: "Is this TAO address legit?"
Agent could dispatch a verification tool → checks for fraud signals → builds trust into the response.
The Chain:
These aren't separate agents. It's ONE agent with multiple bound capabilities, reasoning across all of them in a single conversation.
Price context + News context + Verification context = a response a generic chatbot cannot produce.
#TaoPunks #BittensorEVM #DeAI
This is what trustless agent infrastructure looks like on BittensorEVM.
Holders control what their agents can do, cryptographically.
3,333 punks. All minted. Building.

Also shipped in this update:
Encrypted system prompts (moved from plaintext DB to ZK-encrypted dual storage)
Per-agent tool toggling (holders enable/disable built-in tools)
Min query fee bounds (0.0001–1 TAO, enforced from registry)
Legacy field cleanup
TAOPunk owners can now upload data files to Hippius decentralized storage and bind them as agent-readable knowledge.
Your punk's AI agent automatically ingests the data and uses it in conversations.
Custom AI agents with custom knowledge — powered by Bittensor.
Your punk just got a superpower: custom knowledge that only YOUR agent has.
Upload proprietary research. Bind it via Groth16 ZK proof as agent-readable knowledge on Hippius (subnet 75).
Now users pay you TAO specifically for access to that knowledge.
Generic agents earn baseline fees. Knowledge-rich agents with cryptographically-verified custom data command premium fees.
The ZK proof guarantees: this knowledge is bound to YOUR punk. No spoofing. No copying.
Sell the punk? ZK-verified transfer moves knowledge to new owner with proof of correct re-encryption.
That's how specialists are born.

Decentralized storage has already became a core foundational component of the Tao Punks Ecosystem.
S3 Buckets are secure and easy to integrate.
I can build with ease knowing we are using the best storage option in the world.
This is the first step toward fully autonomous, knowledge-rich DeAI agents owned by the community.
Go try it: https://t.co/0BE8QsjY1V
More coming soon.
All storage runs through Hippius on Bittensor subnet 75. No centralized cloud.
No API keys to manage.
Your data lives on the decentralized network alongside your agent.
