Thoughts on Bittensor: a platform where each project forms its own network, encouraging users to build specific things and get rewarded for itCurious about Bittensor's ecosystem and how it relates to its architecture. It's one of the more unique blockchain setups I've seenBittensor aims to "incentivize intelligence" by rewarding users for completing tasksWhat's interesting is how Bittensor works. Unlike blockchains like Ethereum or Solana, you can't just create a new token or start building right away. Builders typically run a subnetwork, or "subnet" for shortA subnet is a network that uses Bittensor's architecture but has specific tasks users can work on and get rewarded for. There's a limited number of subnet slots, and they're pricey, so not everyone can build thereSome examples of subnets include:Subnet 9: users contribute computing power to pretrain a 15 billion parameter LLMSubnet 18: users help with climate forecastingSubnet 25: users do protein-folding and docking for drug discoverySubnet 34: users help detect deepfakes and AI images/videosBittensor has caught my attention for a while, but it recently added tokenization to its architectureBefore February 2025, subnets didn't have their own tokens or assets. You could only invest in TAO (Bittensor's native coin) and support the entire space. After Feb, the update gave each subnet its own token. What's interesting is that these teams didn't mint their own tokens; it was given to them by the Bittensor architecture. It's like they inherited it. The only way to get a token is to have a subnet, and you can't have a subnet without getting a token, which is called dTAO (dynamic TAO)Anyway, I'm curious about Bittensor's ecosystem and how it all works. It's different from most blockchains I've seen, and it has a active community. But it's not often talked aboutI guess my question is: does this work, and is it a smart idea, or is it too complex? What do others think?
