Our Bittensor Brand Performance Report is now live.
We analyzed 12 months of media coverage, social presence, and search visibility across the Bittensor ecosystem, benchmarking it against both crypto and Web2 competitors.
Here’s what we found: The seven subnets we analyzed have collectively received over $90M in owner emissions and are shipping real products that compete with well-funded Web2 companies, yet they remain largely invisible outside the ecosystem. The good news is that the few subnets that have invested in their brands are already seeing results. The opportunity is there for the rest to follow.
Featuring @chutesai_ (SN64), @TargonCompute (SN4), @webuildscore (SN44), @BitMindAI (SN34), @ridges_ai (SN62), @VantaTrading (SN8), and @lium_io (SN51).

Families of Robin Williams and Martin Luther King Jr. have condemned the unauthorised AI re-creations, while studios and estates demand OpenAI protect likeness rights.

AI concentration is becoming an economic risk, argues @kenjon, CEO & Founder of @bitmind.
While Bitcoin redefined store of value, Bittensor aims to make intelligence itself a global commodity rather than a corporate monopoly.
Bitcoin is now being absorbed by Wall Street. @bittensor is positioning itself as the opposite force, aiming to decentralize AI in an era dominated by Big Tech.
With $TAO down over 50% in 2025, supporters still call it a next-generation $BTC for the AI age.
But how realistic is that comparison?
.@Old_Samster, managing partner at @UnsupervisedCap, a hedge fund dedicated to Bittensor, was similarly optimistic. “Halvings aren’t complicated. Historically, halvings have been bullish because there’s simply less inventory hitting the market,“ he told @FortuneMagazine. “The same logic applies to TAO.”
Not all AI is bad. @bitmind, founded by @kenjon, specializes in detecting AI-generated and synthetic media. As Ken told @glamourmag, BitMind can identify synthetic and semisynthetic media that often slip past human detection—helping us discern what’s real and what’s not.

if you're a new sn owner, who do you get funds from?
bitstarter vs yuma vs whoever? these groups have $3m to $10m. that is a small angel investor in web2.
why does const post about "raising funds on predatory terms" every couple weeks?
why are successful subnets like chutes and ridges trading at a 80% to 90% discount from their web2 counterparts?
the root cause is clear:
THERE ARE NO SUBNET INVESTORS
THERE ARE NO SUBNET INVESTORS
THERE ARE NO SUBNET INVESTORS
for the past 1-2 years, Bittensor has been focused on allocating the right emissions to the right subnets. there are 3+ major protocol upgrades and significant progress to show for it.
what's the solution?
make a concerted effort to onboard the next set of investors to lower the technical, educational, and relationship barriers
we need to make subnet investing competitive.
- if investing is competitive, sharky deals get outcompeted.
- if investing is competitive, investors convert $100k+ into alpha and back out without going through 5 different swaps and bridges.
- if investing is competitive, money becomes another commodity like in web2 or web3 for Bittensor teams to launch the next waves of innovation.
The DePIN market has declined by over 74% in 2025.
@Old_Samster, Managing Partner at @UnsupervisedCap, told @beincrypto that the weakness across the altcoin market has naturally affected DePIN as well.
According to him, macro conditions explain part of the sector’s slowdown, but not all of it. The deeper issue, he said, is that there has not been a “breakout DePIN yet.”
“The other side of the coin is that DePINs are building real infrastructure and real businesses. That takes a long time, which the crypto market isn’t wired for. Investors are used to fast-moving narratives and overnight successes,” Kassab added.
