Bittensor's decentralized AI network has launched a new subnet, FLock (Subnet 96), which is now live and open for permissionless mining and validation. Accelerated by Yuma Group, FLock focuses on compressing high-quality data for small language models and enables on-device optimization. The Bittensor ecosystem, powered by the $TAO token, has seen strong engagement, with approximately 6.6% of circulating $TAO—valued around $200 million—staked across all subnet alpha pools within 2.5 months. The Wrapped TAO (wTAO) airdrop has been initiated, distributing $1.5 million in tokens and bridging Bittensor's neural network to Ethereum, supporting staking yields with daily returns up to 0.50 TAO and yearly potential of 171 TAO. Grayscale has recognized Bittensor's progress, producing professional videos to highlight its development. Additionally, Virtual's Genesis launches within the ecosystem have delivered substantial returns, with tokens like $BIOS achieving nearly 150x gains and $NYKO reaching approximately 16x returns. New staking rules, such as the "diamond hand" bonus and take profit cooldown, have been introduced to encourage holding and stabilize token performance. The Bittensor network is also exploring innovative applications, including a subnet potentially contributing up to 20% of Bitcoin's hash rate, allowing miners to earn $TAO by mining Bitcoin. The ecosystem continues to expand with new AI agents launching daily at modest market caps, signaling growing interest in decentralized AI development through interoperable subnets.
