Polymarket, the world’s largest prediction market, has entered into a strategic partnership with Bittensor’s Subnet 41 (also known as Sportstensor), in a move aimed at reshaping how intelligence and liquidity flow into decentralized forecasting platforms.
Subnet 41, which focuses on incentivizing sports intelligence through Bittensor’s decentralized AI infrastructure, confirmed the deal this week, calling it a “landmark partnership” that blends Polymarket’s global user base with Bittensor’s novel incentive mechanisms for data validation and forecasting.
While the philosophical foundation of Subnet 41 will remain the same, the partnership introduces major shifts for miners and validators in its ecosystem. According to the announcement, participants will soon gain access to new revenue streams and value opportunities beyond the existing sports intelligence framework.
As part of this update, Subnet 41 is enacting a 95% emissions burn via its owner key burn function, effectively tightening supply while restructuring incentives ahead of the rollout. The team said the measure is designed to ensure stakeholders are “properly positioned” before new mechanics go live.
Polymarket’s decision to integrate with a Bittensor subnet highlights the growing convergence between decentralized AI and prediction markets. By combining Polymarket’s liquidity depth with Bittensor’s open, incentive-driven AI infrastructure, both projects aim to pioneer a new class of verifiable, intelligence-powered markets.
“This partnership represents a perfect alignment of vision and innovation,” Sportstensor said in its announcement, adding that Polymarket initiated the collaboration after recognizing the potential of its incentive model.
The collaboration could mark one of the first major bridges between Bittensor’s subnet economy and an established, mainstream crypto application — signaling how decentralized AI may start powering real-world financial primitives.
