Frank Rizzo (Greg Nicholson) of Team Rizzo recently joined Zero Bit of Talisman on an X Live to unpack their new collaboration, the rise of Talisman’s intelligent wallet vision, and the launch of Subnet 45 on Bittensor. The conversation was packed with insights, strategy, and a clear look at how this partnership aims to reshape user experiences in crypto.
Here is the complete breakdown of the major revelations.
Frank Rizzo’s Background and Entry Into Bittensor
Greg Nicholson, popularly known as Frank Rizzo, is a seasoned entrepreneur who has built and exited several successful ventures.
He discovered Bittensor early, buying TAO at fifteen dollars, and later redirected his entire IT operation, including a data center in downtown Albuquerque, to support his Bittensor expansion.
His validator quickly grew into a top ten performer across all 128 subnets. Today, he owns Subnet 20 and is preparing the official rollout of Subnet 45.
The Talisman and Team Rizzo Partnership
The collaboration between Talisman and Team Rizzo allows Talisman Wallet to tap into decentralized intelligence built on Bittensor.
Subnet 45 will act as the infrastructure powering intelligence, insights, and strategy modules within the wallet, giving Talisman users an advantage through enhanced automation and actionable data.
Why Talisman Stands Out
Talisman is already one of the most used wallets in the Bittensor ecosystem. It has over 150,000 downloads and more than two billion dollars in total value locked.
It supports nine hundred chains, including EVM networks, Solana, Substrate, and Bittensor, with a clean multi-chain interface that lets users see assets without the usual account complexities.
Talisman has stayed ahead of the curve by offering:
- complete TAO support,
- staking to the Root and Subnets,
- Ledger compatibility, and
- direct fiat on and off-ramps.
Building the Intelligent Wallet
Talisman is positioning itself as an asset-first intelligent wallet. Its mission is to help users earn yield instead of letting tokens sit idle.
Through its integration with Bittensor, Talisman will introduce agent-based earning, where users can activate strategies with a single click and track every action transparently.
The Next Generation DeFi Stack
The future wallet stack combines
- modules for on-chain interaction,
- data capture,
- rich analytics,
- and agent logic.
Users will eventually have access to a DeFi control center, where they can view opportunities, test strategies, or enable automated execution based on personal preferences.
How Subnet 45 Works Behind the Scenes
Team Rizzo operates with a strong collaboration-first philosophy. Greg manages the operational and business side while his technical team drives the system development.
Subnet 45 is designed with a single purpose: providing real-time trading intelligence for Talisman users.
Its architecture follows three layers:
- Perception: Scrapes high-signal content from platforms such as X using miners specialized in social data extraction.
- Reasoning: Scores and categorizes sentiment, partnership signals, trending narratives, momentum shifts, and more.
- Action: Transforms real-time data into practical trading strategies that users can act on through the wallet’s interface.
This allows Talisman users to receive structured, time-sensitive alpha sourced across the network.
Six-Month Roadmap for Subnet 45
Subnet 45 begins with ninety days of alpha token deployment inside the Bittensor ecosystem, followed by expansion to external chains in the next ninety days.
Team Rizzo plans to build a strong foundation before rolling out an extensive suite of tools. Integrations will include Subnet 13 (Data Universe) for social data extraction and four additional subnets that will be revealed soon.
Zero Bit on Front-End and Infrastructure
The Talisman team is rapidly developing the front-end experience. The goal is to take users from asset holding to earning in a single click.
The coming agent marketplace will allow users to subscribe to strategies and models that are refined on Subnet 45.
$SEEK Token and Subnet 45 Synergy
The SEEK Token will launch soon and will serve as the primary Talisman wallet token. It functions similarly to major ecosystem tokens like BNB by unlocking features and enhancing user experiences.
The Subnet 45 token will power intelligence services and use fees to buy and burn its own supply.
The flywheel is simple and powerful:
- Better miner-built strategies attract more users.
- More users increase token demand.
- Higher demand increases buy-and-burn pressure.
This model aligns naturally with the new Taoflow mechanism, which rewards subnets that generate strong positive alpha.
Seekers of Talisman NFT
There will be five hundred total Seekers NFTs. Holders will receive yield boosts, exclusive access, and potential future reward distributions.
Why This Partnership Matters
Frank Rizzo emphasized that this collaboration gives users tools that outperform what average holders have access to.
With more than 150,000 active wallets, the partnership allows Team Rizzo’s technology to reach scale quickly and deliver real-world utility.
- Talisman gains advanced intelligence modules.
- Team Rizzo gains distribution.
- Users gain powerful earning tools.
This broadcast delivered significant insight into the future of Talisman Wallet, Subnet 45, and the infrastructure powering decentralized intelligence. The integration of Team Rizzo’s technology positions Talisman to become one of the most capable wallets in the entire Bittensor ecosystem.
