It’s a factory network $TAO Truly A self-improving Machine Learning Flywheel

By: Andy

Bittensor has real revenue, cross-subnet composability, and adoption from legacy industries — happening right now, unlike anything else in crypto.

From powering the first AI-powered grand strategy / alternate-history sandbox game, to major real-world partnerships like:

• Reading FC for “Moneyball” football analysis (Sky Sports feature)
• Lavance (7,000+ automated car washes in France)
• Two-a-Day (Africa’s top fruit exporter)
• AVIA petrol stations across Europe
• CARD for cricket talent scouting

This isn’t one team building one product. This is 120+ subnets (heading toward 256) shipping simultaneously — and this week alone proves why this network will be here for decades to come.

REVENUE.

Chutes SN64 just crossed $1.35M+ in revenue over 90 days. That’s $9K–$22K per day. 160 billion tokens processed daily.

Y Combinator-backed Pax Historia is already building on Chutes.

This isn’t speculative infrastructure. It’s paid infrastructure.

20 million rounds played, growing organically with $0 ad spend.

And Ready AI SN33 just made Chutes their preferred inference provider.

Subnets choosing subnets. The flywheel is spinning.

BREAKTHROUGHS.

Grail SN81 unveiled PULSE through Covenant AI — decentralized reinforcement learning that matches centralized RL speed with 100x+ bandwidth reduction. Completely lossless.

This is the kind of research that makes centralized labs nervous.

Built on Bittensor. Incentivized by $TAO.

Inference Labs SN2 and Score SN44 brought cryptographic inference verification into Manako.

Cameras that don’t just see — they prove what they see.

Zero-knowledge proofs on vision models. 313M+ proofs generated.

COMPOSABILITY IS COMPOUNDING.

This is the part most people miss entirely.

Quasar SN24 partnered with Chutes for hosting, Gradients for fine-tuning, and Targon for training.

One subnet’s output feeds the next. Training flows into deployment. Deployment enables evaluation. Evaluation informs the next round of training.

Desearch SN22 × Vericore SN70

Vericore pulls signals from X and Reddit via Desearch’s API to verify miner outputs. Miners use the same API to add context and deliver better results.

Decentralized fact-checking infrastructure built from two subnets composing.

Basilica SN39 now runs OpenClaw in sandboxed containers.

Deploy a voice model to an H100 from a Telegram message. Get audio back. Shut down.

Agent-native compute is live.

@gittensor_io SN74 just registered its first @moltbook agent as a miner.

NEW PRODUCTS HITTING MARKET.

• 404Gen SN17 launched mesh generation with a new app.
• Synth SN50 is launching Polymarket Prediction Insights powered by Synth forecasts.
• TPN Labs SN65 dropped WhalesurfVPN — a VPN that rewards users for protecting their privacy.
• Hippius SN75 rolled out Arion, their custom-engineered storage network.

• 0x Markets SN35 Cartha live on mainnet.
• Apex SN1 shipped RL Battleships, their first reinforcement learning exploration.
• IOTA SN9 Training at Home goes full public release next week — anyone can contribute compute to distributed training from hardware they already own.

• Bitcast SN93 partnered with @omni_agency for global Web3 marketing.
• Almanac_market SN41 partnered with @edgechainai for prediction market accuracy.
• Metanova Labs SN68 updated their dashboard.
• Data Universe SN13 — Macrocosmos AI used decentralized data scraping to collect 1.2M posts and turn them into a dataset.

• Mantis SN123 and 8ball SN125 from — new websites, 20 prediction markets live across crypto, sports, and US politics.

ECOSYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE EXPANDING.

• TaoPortal launched PotaTao — simple swap interface for $TAO and subnet tokens.
• TAO miners’ union released Taoswap — a new DEX for the Bittensor ecosystem.
• RoundTable became Generaltensor, the General Tensor OG Validator.

The tooling layer is maturing fast.

Swaps, validators, wallets, dashboards — all being built by the community, for the community.

NOW ZOOM OUT.

In one single week:

• $1.35M+ in real subnet revenue
• 100x bandwidth reduction in decentralized RL
• 313M+ zero-knowledge proofs
• Cross-subnet composability across inference, verification, compute, search, data, and training
• Agent miners registering on-chain
• New DEXs, swap tools, and validator infrastructure
• Five high-signal podcasts documenting everything transparently

Name another crypto ecosystem doing this.

You can’t.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Because nothing else is structured this way.

• 128 parallel teams competing for emissions.
• Deregistration culling the weak.
• Revenue rewarding the strong.
• Composability making each subnet more valuable as others improve.

This isn’t a bull market narrative.

This is infrastructure being built week after week regardless of price.

$TAO will be here for decades because the incentive structure guarantees continuous improvement.

Every week, the network gets smarter, faster, and more useful.

Not because someone promised it on a roadmap — because the mechanism demands it.

If you can look at this and not see what’s being built, I don’t know what to tell you.

This is one of the most important things to ever happen in crypto. And most people are still sleeping on it.
