To close the track, Proof of Pitch brought the room to life. With @const_reborn, @mogmachine, @mikecontango, and @macrozack on the jury, subnet teams pitched live in front of the ecosystem, and Bitstarter’s live crowdfunding round raised 670 TAO in under an hour. @DeSciClaims took home the win! A massive congratulations to the team, and to every builder who got on stage and pitched.

what an amazing, wonderful week at @proofoftalk. A few thoughts: - we have come a LONG way in a year. - Teams that were shuttling first dollar in 25 are hitting 8 figures mid 26 (shout out to my brother @0xcarro and the @manifold team, and partnership warlord @MaxScore and the gang) - research subnets with dreams in 25 are publishing actual results - druggable receptors for ADHD meds! Big up @metanova_labs (and @micaelabazo) - lots of bullish new teams (@cacheon_ai Babelbit, Green Compute), and returning first timers from 25 who have made series strides this year ( @markjeffrey hosting the fireside only 13 months after his first in person event at Endgame, after launching a fund. Shout out to @MarkCreaser at DSV) - @Old_Samster combining his increasingly sharp alpha with a new all white angelic look. - apparently @taostats is the new Da Vinci stage (which as a Bittensor oriented stage rocked) - does that mean @mogmachine is the statue of David? - my brother @macrozack on stage proving pitches, and taking the finishing slot of the conference this year with @bitstarterAI was a sweet, full circle moment. -thank you to Paul and the @XVentures_Fund team for another stellar performance. As for us, last year was when we started the @IOTA_SN9 dream. This was the week it felt like coming onto reality. Big love to everyone who’s been a part of it. 2026 is clearly the year.

Bittensor is ideal for machine learning - so how do we get more researchers on the protocol? We're hosting a workshop at @ProofofTalk with @macrocrux & @MacrocosmosAI revealing how distributed intelligence is accelerating - and competing with the biggest labs in the world.

Very excited to finally share this: Bittensor will be presented to students at @42born2code next Monday in Paris, just ahead of @proofoftalk. 42 is one of the most respected coding schools in France and Europe and shares a philosophy that feels remarkably aligned with Bittensor: no traditional teachers, peer-to-peer learning, and a strong emphasis on autonomy and merit. It’s the perfect place to introduce the ecosystem and hopefully lay the groundwork for future hands-on initiatives such as hackathons and technical workshops. A huge thank you to @opentensor and @bitstarterAI for sponsoring the event and helping make it happen. @taogalaxy_ is co-organizing the event alongside @42Blockchain_, the school’s blockchain club, whose support throughout the organization has been incredible. Speakers include: • @macrozack (@bitstarterAI) • @MaxScore (@webuildscore) • @mccrinbc (@MacrocosmosAI) • Myself (@taogalaxy_) If you’ll be in Paris on June 1st, we still have a few spots available: luma.com/9dxbko6d For those who can’t make it, the event will be recorded and I’ll share it on X shortly afterwards. Can’t wait for this one. 🚀

Bitstarter's next launch: Live in the Louvre 🏛️ x4 finalists pitching. x4 judges on the panel. x1 subnet for the winning team. ...and who decides? You: by pledging to the team you believe in. 🇫🇷 Join us June 3rd @proofoftalk ⚡ Livestream via X

☑️ Machine Learning support, activated Our ML teams need to do more than win on Bittensor - they need to succeed beyond it. revela.io can make that happen. An elite ML developer ready to build production-grade AI architectures - and scale our teams to success.

Launching a start-up live in the Louvre, June 2-3 - together with Bittensor’s best

Bringing together Bittensor's builders across machine learning - and asking how we find more people like them Publishing articles like this reminds me of how much talent there is in our network 👌

Ah, @elonmusk, thanks for joining us. What took you so long? bittensor:native

Every team, evaluated 💯 Our first Subnet Update is here Read the deck for April's portfolio perspective featuring @QuasarModels @djinn_gg @handshake_58 and @adtao_ppcrebel Monthly metrics, top achievements, and more - link below 🔽

Chris Zacharia @macrozack is the founder of Bitstarter @bitstarterAI, Bittensor’s first decentralised crowdfunding platform, built to help new subnets connect with the right capital, people, and ecosystem support. This summer, Chris will be showcasing Bitstarter's accelerator by launching a new subnet team live in the Louvre. Before Bitstarter, Chris was part of the founding team at @MacrocosmosAI. Now he is building one of the key platforms helping subnet teams go from idea to launch, with the support they need to get off the ground properly. At the Louvre, he will be bringing some of the strongest subnets in the ecosystem to pitch at Proof of Talk, another reflection of the work Bitstarter is doing behind the scenes to back the next generation of teams. This summer Chris joins us at the Louvre. June 2–3, Bittensor Track at Proof of Talk. Use code TAO for 30% off tickets 👇

‘On Bittensor, we’re speed-running humanity -corporation, platform, federation, religion, nation state’ @const_reborn spoke at two of the world's top universities last week - and after attending both, I wrote an article sharing my take on Jake's perspective

Machine Learning on Bittensor. Incubated by Bitstarter. Announced live on @TWiStartups featuring @alex, @Lons, @macrozack, and @mccrinbc, our new track is: ☑️ Backed by @const_reborn ☑️ Built for the best ML start-ups ☑️ Subnet registration, development, and infra included 👀

Just dropped the “Shifting Frontiers” talk from the Bittensor Breakout conference 🎥 $TAO Chris Zacharia - @macrozack Mark Jeffrey - @markjeffrey Karl Osis - @ktotheohh Chris Sorel - @AgenticToaster

Very interesting take from @macrozack at the end of this extract: (paraphrasing) Networks are the most natural environment for artificial intelligence to develop, not corporations. Just look at how intelligence emerged in nature, through survival of the fittest and natural selection, in a distributed system of predator and prey. My take is that every intelligence we know of emerged from a network, and every future one will too. Even the LLMs we use daily, built inside closed labs, only exist because they were trained on the internet, aka the largest open network humans have ever built. So if AGI emerges the way every prior intelligence did, it won't come from a lab. It'll come from a network. Bittensor is the first one built specifically for it.

Macrocosmos resuming the lead for distributed training on Bittensor High talent, high conviction team led by @macrocrux, formerly CTO of @opentensor itself If you're looking to back decentralized model training, this is our very best shot

'...that’s Bittensor’s superpower. We ship. We iterate. We’re our own harshest critics, and nothing survives here unless it’s constantly improving.' Spot on. If you want to know what building on Bittensor is really like, read this.

$TAO Bittensor Community - More insights for you. Today I spoke with Chris Zacaria, who in my view is one of the most visionary people in the Bittensor ecosystem. He’s building with Macrocosmos and leading the onboarding of new teams through Bitstarter. You should listen carefully to what he has to say about the near future of the ecosystem. OUTSIDER: Chris, as co-founder of @MacrocosmosAI and @bitstarterAI, you have already led the launch of almost 10 subnets. After what happened yesterday with Covenant, do you think the Bittensor ecosystem needs to improve its structure to better protect itself from events like this in the future? Are Macrocosmos and Bitstarter planning any structural changes in response to what happened? And as one of the most active and influential leaders in the ecosystem, what message would you like to leave for the community right now? He sent me the video below. Take a look and share your thoughts. We’re in this together, now and always. Thank you so much, @macrozack.

Bitstarter @bitstarterAI is building something Bittensor has needed for a long time: the ecosystem’s first crowdfunding & incubation platform for new subnets. It’s become a one-stop shop to take teams from idea to launch, backed by one of the strongest advisor networks in the ecosystem. Teams apply, the best are selected, refined with advisors, and when ready, go live through an open crowdfunding process where anyone can pledge TAO for future subnet tokens. That moment kicks off with a live stream featuring the subnet founder and Bitstarter’s founder @macrozack, with the community pledging TAO in real time. What makes Bitstarter stand out is everything around that moment, communications, ecosystem access, investor relations, incentive design... the full stack needed to turn a subnet from something buried in the trenches into something with real momentum. If you are building a subnet, you should be looking at Bitstarter. Our partnership will centre around this year’s Proof of Pitch, where the Bittensor Track will host the first ever in-person live crowdfunding event in the ecosystem. More on this very soon. This summer Bitstarter joins us at the Louvre. Gold Sponsor of the Bittensor Track at Proof of Talk. Use code TAO for 30% off tickets 👇
