We've been perfecting the art of training models in decentralized networks @bittensor.
They now move faster than companies at solving hard problems because they source international talent without borders, and we only pay for improvement.
Bias free and permissionless is also a great, ethical deal for the world's talent. You get paid directly for the work you do and in the ownership of the network company you helped create.

. @prismassets a marketplace for tokenized RWAs- explained in 180 sec
You’re not dumb when it comes to tokenized assets - you just don’t know where to look.
I’m obviously biased, but this is one of those products you actually need to explore & use.
Bookmark this shit you’re gonna need it

Aave generated more than half a million USD in Swap Fees in September, a monthly ATH.
I don't think people understand how big this number can get once scaling efforts for @Aave App start going at full steam. We're talking millions of users that will do everything in one app.
Call me crazy, but swaps might eventually become the largest source of revenue for Aave.

People are misunderstanding the point of Gamma
Its meant to make #Bittensor vertically complete enough on its own..
That it doesn't have to depend on the same centralised infrastructure its trying to replace
Its a big deal
$TAO
Brightrise retweeted
⚫️ $TAO = the main asset across the whole #Bittensor network
⚪️ Alpha = the asset for each individual subnet
🟣 Gamma = what actually gets spent to use whatever that subnet is producing.. intelligence, services etc
Basically a bit like AWS credits
You don’t buy Amazon shares every time you want compute.. you buy their credits to use the service
Gamma is basically trying to give every subnet its own native version of that
Subnets will be able to start buying services from other subnets
Turns #Bittensor from a bunch of separate subnet economies into one large interconnected economy of intelligence
I dig it 💪

This was his best keynote to date -- I have to say.
Simpler than usual. Auramaxxing. Hitting specifics.
Of course, he had great progress to report as ammo, that helped.
But he was just on his game here.
Here is @const_reborn's full keynote at @ExploitSummit
It is worth the 36 minutes, but I'll give you the cliff notes.
> Affine 1, a model trained by anonymous miners entirely on Bittensor, matches the intelligence score of Anthropic's Opus 4.1.
> 23 of 128 subnets now have paying customers
> Gamma tokens are coming to turn subnet usage credits into something agents can buy from any chain.
> "We're not afraid of hyper-intelligent bot swarms on the internet. We use them to optimize our technology."

Introducing Gamma tokens, a proposed new economic layer for Bittensor.
The ambition is to make it easier for subnets to power each other’s products and grow an open AI ecosystem that can compete with the biggest labs.
Gamma tokens would let Bittensor subnets buy services from each other using part of their emissions.
@const_reborn outlined the plan at Exploit: transferable usage credits for compute, inference and other infrastructure, with access extending beyond Bittensor.

Bittensor State of the Union feat. @const_reborn. A must watch/listen.
No one is bullish enough on what is being built here.

$TAO is the Bitcoin of AI.

“But Bittensor’s subnets could get shut down by governments too!”
Wrong. The code is open source, the competition is decentralised, the miners are scattered all around the world and anonymous.
The companies operating them could be shut down, but all it would take is flying to a friendly jurisdiction with your subnet key in your head (or wallet), and you can pick it up where you left it.
For instance, @chutes_ai is perhaps the only scaled inference provider in the world whose GPUs can’t be switched off by a government entity. Let that sink in.
It is too complex for most people to get it now. But more will do the work, and like the BTC they will eventually get it.

Bittensor is on an absolute tear right now.
TAO is up almost 40 percent off the lows right after having its Anthropic moment, and people still do not understand how big this setup could get.
Bitcoin had Cyprus in 2013.
Banks froze access, people woke up, and BTC went from around $47 to $266 in about 3 weeks.
That was the moment decentralized money made sense.
Now Bittensor is having its moment with AI.
The government can restrict access to intelligence, centralized labs can gate the models, and suddenly decentralized AI stops sounding like a niche crypto idea.
It starts sounding necessary.
bittensor:native already had its halving last year.
Now it has the narrative shock.
I think people are waking up to Bittensor now, and this move could be way bigger then most are ready for.
Cyprus showed why Bitcoin mattered.
Anthropic might show why Bittensor matters.

The market is gonna look for a way to react to that earth-shattering news by Anthropic, and I can’t think of a better liquid asset to do so than $TAO.
You don’t need to overthink it.

The US Government has given #Bittensor the best endorsement it could ever ask for
They proved the entire thesis for why we need permissionless and decentralised AI
Anthropic were forced by the Government to suspend access to Fable and Mythos models for any foreign nationals..
It doesn't matter what you think of Anthropic morals.. what the Governments reasons were.. whether the model was dangerous or not..
The point is.. Closed AI can be switched off
We’ve been banging this drum in #bittensor for four years now
If frontier intelligence can be restricted.. it will be restricted.. If access can be gatekept.. it will 100% be gatekept
If a small group of powerful men and women can decide who gets intelligence and who doesn’t.. they will absolutely use that power
This is exactly why bittensor:native matters
Intelligence is just too important to have it sit behind permissioned walls controlled by governments and corporations
#Bittensor is the fight against this.. Open.. permissionless.. incentivised
True open intelligence built by the people.. for the good of the people
This Anthropic news is proof that those fears are no longer theoretical..
This shit is real.. the door just got slammed
The pure reason #bittensor exists.. is so the world has another one to walk through
bittensor:native
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

BITTENSOR RALLIES ON AI POLICY SHIFT
Bittensor $TAO jumped 17% as the U.S. moves to suspend foreign access to Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
Investors see the restrictions as a boost for decentralized AI networks like Bittensor, which aren’t dependent on a single company or government approval.

Unstoppable, uncensorable, global decentralized AI seems like a good investment bet to make. The “Bitcoin of AI” so to say…

Access to intelligence should not depend on a handful of companies or governments.
This is why open, decentralized, permissionless AI matters.
This is why Bittensor matters.

$PUDGYSTR has an excellent setup. Here are some facts to substantiate this claim.
PUDGYSTR, the TokenWorks strategy token for Pudgy Penguins NFTs, benefits from the ecosystem's flywheel (NFT buys/sells funding burns) and tied catalysts driving $PENGU and NFT demand. Here's a summary of the most impactful upcoming ones in Q4 2025:
PENGU ETF Decision (October 12, 2025): SEC ruling on the Canary PENGU ETF (80-95% tokens + NFT shares) could unlock institutional inflows, validating the hybrid model and sparking 50-150% price surges across the ecosystem—directly boosting PUDGYSTR burns via higher NFT floors.
Abstract Chain Launch & Airdrops (Q4 2025): Token generation event (TGE) on Pudgy's L2 chain, with airdrops/rewards for holders (e.g., $31K-$61K per holder in ETH equivalent); owning Pudgy NFTs/PENGU unlocks eligibility, fueling accumulation and flywheel activation.
OKX PENGU Airdrop Event (Ends October 9, 2025): Users can earn/share 81M PENGU via subscriptions/KYC, driving token demand and indirect PUDGYSTR exposure through ecosystem hype.
Global Brand & Merch Expansions (Q4 2025): Partnerships like Suplay Inc., Japanese 7-Eleven retail, and new merchandise/toys; plus Pudgy Party Web3 gaming tournament and Pudgy World launch, enhancing IP utility and NFT value for strategy buys.
NFT Treasury Buybacks & Flywheel (Ongoing Q4): Protocol holds ~28 Pudgy NFTs (~210 ETH/$907K value) for low-floor buys; a 20% floor rise could trigger ~$1M in burns (11.6% supply wipeout), amplified by 2-3 major Pudgy announcements.
These cluster in October, potentially 3-5x PUDGYSTR amid NFT meta resurgence—monitor ETF outcome as the pivotal trigger.
