On December 16, 2025, DSV Fund completed an over-the-counter investment in Vericore, Bittensor Subnet 70 (SN70). The move reflects DSV’s focus on early-stage decentralized AI infrastructure that addresses real, growing problems, particularly the spread of misinformation and unverified claims online.
Vericore, developed by dFusion AI and launched on Bittensor in early 2025, functions as a decentralized fact-verification network. Miners search the web for supporting or contradicting evidence tied to specific claims, while validators assess the relevance and quality of that evidence. The output is evidence-backed analysis rather than opinion, allowing users to evaluate claims based on verifiable sources.
DSV highlighted execution and timing as key factors behind the investment, noting that Vericore addresses a real problem at a moment when demand for verification tools is increasing. SN70 joins DSV’s growing list of investments, where capital deployment is often paired with strategic alignment.
Why Vericore Fits DSV’s Strategy
Led by CIO Siam Kidd and CEO Mark Creaser, DSV Fund targets Bittensor subnets with clear utility, capable teams, and realistic paths to sustainability. Rather than backing experimental research alone, DSV prioritizes subnets that translate decentralized intelligence into usable products.
Vericore fits this profile by focusing on claim verification across text, audio, and video, supported by open-source tooling and transparent evaluation. The project aims to provide a neutral verification layer that other platforms can integrate without relying on centralized gatekeepers.
DSV’s Recent OTC Activity
Vericore follows a series of targeted OTC investments made by DSV in 2025:
- Bitcast (SN93), December 2025: Additional capital to expand no-code miners, YouTube integrations, and self-serve advertising tools.
- Vidaio (SN85), December 2025: Investment in video compression and upscaling infrastructure aimed at enterprise use.
- SafeScan AI (SN76), November 2025: Support for a medical imaging subnet focused on cancer diagnostics in clinical testing.
- RESI (SN46), November 2025: Follow-on funding for on-chain real estate data verification and pricing oracles.
- Sportstensor (SN41), October 2025: Backing for a prediction-market subnet routing volume to Polymarket.
Many of these positions represent follow-on investments, reflecting increased conviction as projects hit execution milestones.
Outlook
DSV’s investment in Vericore signals growing attention toward verification infrastructure within decentralized AI. As AI-generated content continues to scale, systems that anchor claims to evidence may become essential. For Bittensor, SN70 represents a practical application of decentralized intelligence with clear demand and measurable output.
