Have you ever wanted structured exposure to subnets without managing everything yourself but didn’t know where to start? Look no further. We just published our first full TrustedStake platform walkthrough — from a staker’s perspective. In this video we cover: • Our 11 core automated subnet indexes (Top 5/10/15, Universe, Full Stack, FinTech & more) • Fundamental-based strategies like Doug’s Picks & TSBCSI • Community strategies (including the 88 Quant Fund) • Non-custodial proxy staking (no smart contracts) • Partial full withdrawals • Self-service DEX tools • Batch staking • Portfolio analytics & projected yield modeling • CSV export full on-chain transaction history Native to Bittensor. Non-custodial by design. Watch the comprehensive demo below 👇

Nice financial writeup by @KhalaResearch and @0xSammy. @TrustedStake mentioned 🔥

My biggest takeaway from the Claude Fable 5 release was that open source AI won't just survive, it'll thrive The release itself told me everything about where the closed labs are heading: i) cyber, bio, chem & distillation queries reroute to Opus 4.8, a weaker model ii) the safeguards are tuned conservatively and by Anthropic's own admission catch harmless requests iii) the ungated Mythos 5 ships only to approved orgs through Project Glasswing iv) even gated access comes off subscription plans on June 23, moving to usage credits Frontier capability is now allocated by approval status I read every refusal, downgrade and capacity gate as a demand signal Capital is already pricing it: a) Manifold Labs, the team behind Targon, raised a $10.5M Series A b) DCG anchored Yuma's asset mgmt. arm with $10M c) Grayscale went from trust launch to spot ETF filing in 18 months, a path that took Bitcoin a decade d) six institutional TAO vehicles now exist, none of them pre-date 2024 Bittensor launched in 2021 with no pre-mine, no VC allocation and no permission required It has grown into one of, if not, the most active capital markets for open source AI with an incredibly diverse set of subnets solving different complex problems The report below tracks the full history, from genesis to dTAO, to the pending ETF This is a useful trip down memory lane, and a vital reference point for an ecosystem projected to be worth hundreds of billions, if not trillions, in the years to come

The @KhalaResearch team absolutely cooked on this one. Sometimes it’s important to take a step back and see just how far we’ve come since genesis. Huge thanks to @haitzu and @0xSammy for the section on @TrustedStake. In the spirit of Bittensor’s ethos of open-source intelligence, customizable exposure and structured subnet index baskets should be open, non-custodial, and accessible to everyone. We abstract away the complexity so the next wave of investing in intelligence markets can thrive. Give it a read. The $TAO ecosystem has come an incredibly long ways.

everything is better when its a mining network

[Investor Letter PDF: investing88.ai/doc/Letter3.p…] 88 Public Index Investors, In the wake of a volatile crypto week, and two months after the Covenant exit, I am writing to provide another update on index performance, current state of dTao, and the progress of Subnet 88 itself. As you are no doubt aware, between Tuesday, June 2 and Saturday, June 6, mirroring the trajectory of $BTC and the broader crypto market, $TAO declined roughly 30%. The dTao market and the public index followed suit. A recovery is underway as of this writing. More importantly, excluding the 88 position itself, index performance has not exceeded a single-digit maximum drawdown, despite the massive selling pressure across subnets on Thursday and Friday. The strength of the 88 Public Index lies in its broad-based, diversified design. It helps limit downside under extreme market stress while providing deep liquidity that’s essential to managing a large AUM effectively. The index does, however, operate under one fundamental assumption: that Taoflow into subnets will steadily increase for the foreseeable future. That assumption held up remarkably well until the Covenant exit. As the charts in Exhibit A indicate, Taoflow has trended sideways to slightly lower since April 9. We view this as a temporary phenomenon that will reverse course soon. Taoflow is the foundation of the dTao experiment. Without a steady Taoflow into subnets, the entire dTao thesis weakens and along with it, Bittensor’s long-term vision. We remain confident in the community’s ability to recognize this dynamic and drive the ecosystem forward. In short, the past two months have represented the most significant stress test since dTao’s inception. We expect the market cycle plays out with the next phase of growth around the corner. The public index is well positioned to participate in the upside. In the meantime, the subnet development is moving ahead at full speed. Once market conditions improve, we plan to open Round 2 of the public index. We are working on a “poolkey” option that will aggregate small wallets and reduce transaction costs. Beyond dTao, our stock model is making substantial progress, and a pilot program is in the planning with select TradFi partners. Investing is a long game. Our internal models require months of quality miner data as a bare minimum for effective training. The industry demands years of proven track record. Meanwhile, it has become clear that Bittensor is a unique fit for Investing88 that few other subnets can match, which is why 88 is a leading subnet in conviction locking. We have no plan to ever sell owner alpha. Our revenue will come from AUM fees instead, from virtually unlimited AUM growth in US stocks and broader TradFi markets. It has been well over a year since the subnet launch, and it’s only the beginning. Alongside our team of miners as well as our investors and supporters, we are here to build a $1B future and beyond. Sincerely, Jake Fan Founder & CEO Investing88

Yesterday was a difficult day for our index, perhaps the most difficult even since the April rug pull of #SN3, #SN39, and #SN81. We saw the Sum of Alpha Prices plummet from 1.33 to 1.28 in a matter of hours. Our index lost approximately 3.84% in one day. At the moment, we can tell you that most of the connected wallets have managed to completely absorb yesterday's dump, and some are even slightly higher. Let's keep it up🚀 The index is only available on @TrustedStake app.trustedstake.ai/strat?st… #Bittensor #TAO #Index #dtao

We didn’t want an audit just for the sake of saying we had one, like many crypto projects do. Too often, projects pay an audit firm for the optics of having their code "greenlit" for investors, only for major vulnerabilities to still exist beneath the surface. In many cases, it feels more like checking a box to make users feel comfortable rather than genuinely hardening systems, something we've seen repeatedly across crypto, including incidents like Tenexium Subnet 67 within the $TAO eco. We wanted a team that would actually add value. Distrust stood out from the very first conversation. Their depth of knowledge went far beyond our expectations, and they immediately identified ways we could strengthen our systems before we had even formally engaged them. I'm genuinely glad we chose to work with them. They stayed highly engaged throughout the review process and helped us focus on the risks that actually mattered while we hardened our systems in parallel alongside their audit work and reporting. There are some very exciting things ahead that we think users are going to appreciate. TrustedStake will be among the first platforms in the world to introduce a new standard for verifiable execution and infrastructure security. More on that soon. Big thank you to the entire Distrust team.

Security is not a feature at TrustedStake. It's the foundation. Earlier this month, TrustedStake successfully completed a comprehensive platform security audit with Distrust.co Over the course of the engagement, we worked closely with their team to review our architecture, identify areas for improvement, and further strengthen the security posture of the platform. As a non-custodial infrastructure layer managing millions of dollars in subnet exposure, security comes with our first principles. This process helped validate many of the design decisions we've made around key separation, proxy permissions, multisig controls, execution infrastructure, monitoring, and operational security. A huge thank you to the Distrust team for their professionalism, technical expertise, and collaborative approach throughout the engagement. This is another important milestone as we continue building the most secure and institutionally-ready platform for accessing Bittensor’s subnet ecosystem. And we're just getting started. We are actively working with Distrust to integrate into a beta program with them where we will move our operation stack, TrustedStake is expected to become one of the first DeFi platforms in the world to integrate this level of security and verifiability directly into its infrastructure. More to come.

What is the Bittensor Safe Index? The Bittensor Safe Index is a long-term strategy designed for retail and non-retail investors, inspired by the ETF model. Which subnets are included in the index, and how many? The number of subnets in the index is extremely flexible, and the number may vary daily ( analysis is performed on all 128 subnets daily ). The subnets to be included or removed from the index are chosen exclusively based on technical analysis, not fundamental analysis. This approach makes investing more objective without falling into the trap of being a fan. The weighting percentage is equal; no subnet has a greater weighting. We only have one rebalancing each day, which includes (subnet insertion, subnet removal, and rebalancing with equal weight). #Bittensor #TAO #Index #dtao

One of the largest updates in TrustedStake history is live. By popular request, index managers can now monetize their strategies and edge natively on the platform, directly to their communities. - Toggle performance fees, management fees, or both. - Fees stay non-custodial end to end, with full invoice history for clean tracking. - Set payment deadlines on the cadence of your choosing. Example: all delegators must pay within the first 7 days of each new month, or be marked late. - Late to pay? Delegators can be blacklisted directly from the Index Manager and excluded from any subsequent portfolio updates and rebalances. For most users, nothing changes. Our core indexes remain free to access, and the vast majority of strategies on the platform will too. This is really a tool for the quants, algorithmic traders, and high-performing managers who put serious research into their delegators' returns, and a secure way for them to get paid for that work. Fees only apply if you join a custom strategy where the manager has enabled them and set expectations with delegators upfront. Months in the making, and now live in managers' hands. The next leap in turning TrustedStake into a top-down alpha strategy marketplace for $TAO. Investors get seamless access to staking strategies. Managers get a simple and powerful way to monetize their edge. Permissioned feature, rolling out slowly to OG managers who have requested it and spoken openly with their delegators about it. Contact us when you're ready and we'll get you onboarded. Get started today: app.trustedstake.ai

Soon no more APY on Root 👀 People will have to rethink the strategies they built around it. This is where dTAO starts to show what it’s made of. Right now there’s about 5.2M TAO sitting in Root. Some of it will stay unstaked, but a meaningful chunk will start looking for a new home, chasing better APY and good teams they actually trust. Liquidity doesn’t disappear, it rotates. $TAO is heating up.

The non-custodial functionality/capabilities that @TrustedStake covers for alpha investors & managers is so large now that it's been very difficult for our documentation & content to keep up. Much needed update on how anyone can build, monetize, ship, and shop $TAO alpha strategies stemming from virtually any investment method in the subnet ecosystem. Agents, quants, day traders, value investors, researchers, yield maxxers... it’s all there. A lot more to come this week.

Documentation that finally matches the platform. The surface area of TrustedStake has grown so vast and our docs finally reflect it.

Big news! From our recent partnership with @KrakenInsto, we’ve been able to streamline operations and significantly reduce the fees users experience on the platform. Users are now seeing roughly a 23–30% reduction in fees, averaging about 26.5% lower across the board. While our standard take rate remains 9%, the effective fee users experience is now ~6.62%. We’ve also updated our docs to reflect this. A meaningful step forward in improving net yields for everyone on the platform. Shop or build your alpha strategy today: app.trustedstake.ai/

my @Investing88ai #subnet88 wallet has now completely recovered from the "unusual event" on 4/9. ATH's hit this week, even after wild volatility and the sn3/39/81 exodus.
