SUMMARY: This episode of Ventura Labs Podcast featured Keith Singery and Garrett Oetken from TAO.COM. They discussed how Bittensor‘s ecosystem has shifted responsibility for product development from validators to subnet owners, who have the actual vested interest in solving problems, while validators now focus on governance, trust verification, and operational support.
They explored the evolution of mining incentives toward capital-efficient models like minor burn and treasury systems, the transition from research-focused to revenue-generating subnets post-dTAO, and how TAO Flow refines emissions based on actual trading activity rather than price alone, viewing exploits as necessary growing pains that strengthen the protocol.
The conversation envisioned Bittensor’s future as an orchestrated stack where subnets collaborate across infrastructure, training, and intelligence layers to create a fully decentralized AI ecosystem, with governance evolving toward transparency and community voice.
The guests also demoed TAO.COM‘s iOS wallet app featuring secure storage, Face ID authentication, and comprehensive subnet pages, emphasizing that building trust in the ecosystem requires personal engagement with subnet owners through direct contact, podcasts, and events.
