For anyone trying to understand Bittensor from first principles, this lecture is a useful place to start. Presented by Bittensor co-founder const. Learn Bittensor > Start with Bitcoin, distributed systems, incentives, > How Bitcoin leads to Bittensor Subnets coordinating AI infrastructure. Topics: // Start - Bitcoin as more than a digital currency // Risks of AI centralization + closed systems // "The incentive computer" // How Bittensor subnets work (mining, validating) // How distributed AI infrastructure could scale globally // Impact on students, builders & future founders Recorded at the National University of Singapore Computer Science Club. NUS Computing Chapters - Bitcoin, AI, and Bittensor - Bitcoin history and decentralization - AI changes how engineers work - The danger of centralized AI power - Why most crypto visions fail - Bitcoin as the world’s largest compute network - Bitcoin as a market for compute - The idea of an “incentive computer” - Bitcoin compared to Bittensor - Classroom example of decentralized scoring - A simple subnet example - SN62 :: Ridges AI | SN62 SWE agents - SN3 templar :: Distributed AI Training - SN52 lium.io :: GPU rentals on Bittensor 128 subnets, some examples Why this matters for the future of work Q&A Subnet examples mentioned @ SN64 - Serverless + TEE Compute :: Chutes SN8 - Prop firm Vanta Trading SN52 - AutoML :: Gradients SN62 - SWE agents :: Ridges AI | SN62 SN51 - Compute / GPU rental lium.io SN4 - TEE compute for enterprise :: Targon SN3 - 72B Distributed Training run :: templar SN41 - Prediction markets :: Almanac SN44 - Computer Vision Score - Subnet 44 SN68 - Drug discovery :: METANOVA SN18 - Weather Forecasting Zeus | SN 18 SN50 - Bitcoin prediction data :: Synthdata SN61 - Quantum computing :: qBitTensor Labs SN14 - Bitcoin mining pool :: TaoHash SN34 - Perp Dex :: 0xMarkets SN17 - 3D model generation :: 404 SN33 - Data analytics :: ReadyAI SN19 - [Since relaunched] RPC infrastructure :

“All that takes is just the right incentive.” Reliably identifying the mutations that matter for disease risk, drug response, and personalized medicine remains one of the hard problems in genomics. On the latest Novelty Search, Minos explained how SN107 uses Bittensor to improve variant calling, the step that turns raw genome data into a reliable list of mutations. Today, most labs run existing tools with default settings. Minos miners are already finding better configurations that improve mutation detection accuracy, while independent validators rerun and check the work every 72 minutes instead of waiting months or years for traditional scientific validation.

The largest decentralised LLM pre-training run in history. SN3 templar trained Covenant-72B across 70+ contributors on open internet infrastructure. Now it’s being discussed by Chamath Palihapitiya with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. Distributed, open-weight model training on Bittensor is getting started.

“The bank of Bittensor” That’s how Zipcode framed the long-term vision for SN46 on the latest Novelty Search. Zipcode started with real estate appraisals. The bigger vision is on-chain credit, real-world assets, and a new financial layer on Bittensor. Hosted by const Full episode in the first comment

Introducing a new cryptographic governance primitive >> Conviction - The Formula: Conviction = Stake x Time. - Linear Unlocking: Lock Alpha tokens for a set duration (e.g., 365 days) to prove long-term commitment. - Mutable Ownership: If an owner acts maliciously, the community can collectively lock their tokens to a new key and vote them out. - Delegated Conviction: Miners and investors can delegate their conviction to cryptographically back teams they trust. First, testing this primitive on subnets 3, 39, and 81 to help the community regain control before a wider rollout. * Initial design still being tuned and tested, more information E071 // Hosted by const 00:00 - Addressing the recent subnet owner exploit & subnet governance 07:18 - Introducing the "Conviction" mechanism 11:38 - Rollout Plan: starting with subnets 3, 39 & 81 18:42 - AMA Begins 21:03 - How subnet teams can still raise capital (OTC) 24:47 - Q&A: Hostile takeovers & malicious whales 41:22 - Why centralized competitors can't buy and kill decentralized subnets 54:14 - mogmachine (ττ) joins: Scenario testing subnet impacts Drop your thoughts or questions ↓ #Bittensor #TAO #CryptoGovernance

Other networks have "rug pulls" every day. They ignore this problem. TradFi startups solved this with vesting cliffs. Introducing Bittensor "Conviction" - locked stake so token holders can cryptographically verify an owner's long-term commitment. Trust proven mathematically.

Bittensor is decentralizing Governance away from Opentensor It gives the network the ability to move fast when consensus is clear, and slow down when proposals need more scrutiny. Topics in this episode: • chain governance • Conviction (linked below) • root yield • root funds • subnet emissions • slashing primitives • shorting and longing • Tao Flow v2 Link to governance preview:

Bittensor is getting its own confidential routing layer :: Good Morning Simple payments, use for any AI model. Miners compete to serve inference at the best price. “What our miners do is they provide the tokens at the cost that they decide, but they’re competing against other miners…” mogmachine (ττ) + the team building #SN28 is bringing the OpenRouter structure into Bittensor: routing, payments and model access as part of the subnet economy. SN28 is live on Testnet. NS075 full episode ::

Bittensor SN3 :: templar // covenant 72B "If intelligence is the most powerful thing, then decentralized training is humanity's last dance. it's the same thing we fought for, for ages." "It's what the internet tried to do. It's what Bitcoin tried to do - how do we reclaim agency? It was always, can we renegotiate the social contract with the Leviathan." "We can turn the Internet into a data center... But what for? The fight is to create optionality..." -Sam Dare Novelty Search is a weekly community call hosted by Bittensor co-founder const
