This past week in Bittensor Land… - Crosschain swaps on Bittensor went live via @taodotcom . Users can now instantly swap USDC and ETH to subnet tokens (!!) -@pareton announced that an optimization identified by miners during their Qwen3.8 campaign was officially merged into vLLM (widely considered the de facto open-source inference engine for LLMs.) - @conjectures_io reported solutions to five open, frontier math problems, with multiple solutions coming from a team of Purdue University students. Just another week.

ZEC's PoW fuels a global, permissionless network for financial privacy. TAO's PoW fuels a global, permissionless network for advancing machine intelligence. The time for self-sovereign digital networks is now.

When you point enough machine and human intelligence at a problem it simply gets solved. Many companies have hard problems that they simply don't have the resources to handle. $PRL is a good example: Mathematics is just the beginning.

There’s a company on Bittensor growing 230% QoQ (62% MoM in Q3) with a $15M revenue run rate, trading at 6x P/S while 95% of rev goes into buybacks and ~$1M of additional structural buy pressure hits the token every month.

This past week in Bittensor Land: - @oroagents was accepted into Y Combinator’s Fall 2026 batch, making it the first crypto company with a live token to be accepted into YC. - @lium_io conducted a $1M revenue-funded buyback and burn, the largest single buyback in Bittensor history. - @_redteam_ announced that it is on track for integrations with three banking companies in the top 10% of the Fortune 500. - @conjectures_io reported that miners found a solution to the near-half-density case of Green’s Problem 51, a math problem that had remained open for 16 years. - @jon_durbin of @chutes_ai shared a dashboard for the Parallax-8B training run, an MoE model being training on 240 RTX 5090s distributed across 13 countries, with a reported compute cost of only ~$11/ billion tokens (!). Just another week.

RedTeam is working toward integrations with three banking companies in the top 10% of the Fortune 500. On the latest Novelty Search, @_redteam_ explains how #SN61# miners strengthen Innerworks’ cybersecurity products. They also demo their Immune System, where AI agents created three new attacks from a miner’s submission and wrote the code to stop all three.

Oro is the first startup with a live crypto token to ever get accepted into YC. And it’s on Bittensor. A few months ago, co-founders Shardul and Seth were probably at their lowest point. They’d just been hacked, things were looking rough, and they decided to apply to YC as basically a Hail Mary. To their surprise, Bittensor, their subnet, and what they were trying to build caught some attention and they got accepted. The guys have built one of the most innovative subnet designs on Bittensor, using incentives to create a machine for collecting diverse, high-quality agent traces at scale to build better agentic commerce systems. Now YC can give them the other half of what they need - support with turning all of that into a killer product and company. We’re at a point where basically every investor has spent the last year spitting on crypto tokens. For valid reasons tho because most tokens add absolutely nothing. Oro is a bright spot for the opposite case, with the token being an essential part of the core mission and system. Overall, a huge signal for Bittensor

The crypto native community hasn’t figured out what Bittensor has built and so it has been structurally undervalued for years. Outside capital, far less jaded, is figuring it out first. Eventually CT will catch on but only after the charts are vertical. At that point many will realize what they’ve missed up to that point. It will be one of the most hated lockout rallies we’ve ever seen.

I hope people understand how crazy this is. ORO is the first crypto company with a live token to be accepted into Y Combinator. YC underwrote ORO, evaluated the Bittensor model, and came to understand the subnet as a structural advantage and the token as accretive to the company's capital structure. What a time to be alive.
