Mark & Siam clear the rumour mill: they have helped broker Subnet 71 for a new team (funding + intros + “stabilisers”), official comms coming from the team soon.

Guest Sam (Subnet 10) then lays out SN10’s mission: kill the onboarding friction. Today, a typical newcomer wrestles with wallets, TAO, bridges, and hours of steps. SN10’s cross-chain swap fixes that.

In a live Revenue Search special, Shak (Ridges) explains how they’ll shift incentives from benchmarks to real user impact: the product itself will decide who earns emissions. Ridges V1 ships as a Cursor/VS Code extension on Oct 30, 2025, priced around $12/mo (with an opt-in data tier near $8).

Under the hood, validators still run SWEBench/Polyglot, but an additional step silently swaps in challenger agents for a slice of users; miners get paid only if those users accept more suggestions, need fewer fixes, and stay engaged.

Recent mixed-set scores dropped from ~88% to ~17–18% when Polyglot was added, then rebounded to ~41% by Oct 6—evidence, Shaq says, that iteration speed is their edge. A full platform rewrite lands this week (stability, parallel evals, dual-sandbox on device, limited internet excluding benchmark content) and USD payouts are returning to attract company-scale competitors.

Goal: grow users fast, reach revenue > emissions (targeting by January) to both disincentivize gaming and potentially fund buybacks—while remaining far cheaper than rivals.

In this episode, Revenue Search digs into Subnet 41’s Sportstensor with Leo and Stephen (Neuromancer).

Hosted by Mark and Siam, this episode unpacks how their new mechanism rewards only winning, conviction-backed flow routed to prediction markets. They lay out a Polymarket partnership where Sportstensor builds a layer on top and charges a 1% fee on traded volume, using those fees to buy back alpha and, if needed, burn it. The incentive design is anti dilutive - miners never receive more in alpha than the fees generated by their qualified volume. The team cites real results from last year’s models, plus how they previously pushed roughly half a million dollars of volume to Polymarket. Expect plain talk on guard rails, why tiny or reckless bets do not count, and why opening mining to skilled traders beyond Bittensor matters. It is a candid strategy session on aligning incentives with truth seeking markets.

• NBA season result cited: 14% ROI, with MLB averaging about 5 - 6% ROI
• Partnership detail: route trades to Polymarket, charge 1% on volume, fees fund alpha buybacks and burns
• Mechanism claim: anti dilutive payouts capped by fees, with proof over promises and skin in the game only

Siam and Mark sit down with Keith Singery, host of the Bittensor Guru podcast, who admits he once rage-quit Bittensor, only to get re-hooked a month later.

Keith talks about swapping a 12-year supply chain career for psychedelic soul-searching, mushroom experiments, and finally staking his future on open intelligence.

He breaks down how capital really comes into the ecosystem, why one breakout subnet will change everything, and why he puts Ridges at the front of the pack. He doesn’t sugarcoat it: deregistration will shred 40–50 subnets, only the strongest teams will survive, and price charts are a distraction compared to what holders and builders are doing.

It’s a mix of confession, comedy, and hard-earned conviction from one of Bittensor’s earliest voices.

Void AI is building the on-ramps Bittensor was missing. Hansel Melo – an early miner turned multi-subnet owner (SN27 + SN106) – lays out how Subnet 106 bridges TAO and alpha tokens to Solana now and Ethereum next, so anyone can trade with Phantom or MetaMask and plug straight into DeFi.

What we cover:

• The simple win for users: swap TAO and subnet tokens without a Bittensor wallet

• Why concentrated liquidity beats V2 pools for depth and slippage

• How bridging unlocks composability across Radium, Uniswap, lending, and more

• The revenue flywheel: bridge fees, staking rewards, trading fees, upcoming ARB bot

• Where value goes: TAO buybacks + protocol-owned liquidity to deepen markets

In this episode we sit down with the team behind Subnet 88 – Investing, a project some call the “decentralized BlackRock.” Their goal: optimized trading strategies for any asset in the world, built on Bittensor.

We unpack:

• How Subnet 88 combines miners’ allocation tables into portfolio signals

• Why they see themselves as a decentralized Wall Street – from TAO staking to U.S. equities

• The roadmap toward ETFs, hedge fund partnerships, and signal provision

Mark and Siam sat down with Seby Rubino, the 25-year-old real estate prodigy behind RESI (Subnet 46) – the subnet aiming to be “Chainlink for real estate.”

Seby’s building a nationwide property database on Bittensor – decentralized, cheaper, and more open than the monopolized data silos of Attom Data. That foundation unlocks everything from an AI appraiser to on-chain real estate lending and even a stablecoin backed by property values.

We covered:

• How RESI plans to eat Attom Data’s market share

• Turning property data into prediction markets

• Why early revenues from predictive lead-gen could scale fast to $100k+ MRR

If you want to understand how Bittensor could open a trillion-dollar market, this is one to watch.

On this episode of Revenue Search, we dive into Subnet 75 – Hippius - with Mog and Dubs. Their team is taking on cloud storage with a decentralized model that’s cheaper, faster, and more transparent than AWS, Google, or Dropbox.

We cover:

• Why decentralized storage has never really been solved – until now

• How Hippius uses its own blockchain to align miners, revenue, and token value

• What enterprises and subnets are already building on Hippius

This isn’t just theory – Hippius already undercuts Big Tech by orders of magnitude. If you want to understand how real-world revenue models are emerging inside Bittensor, this is the episode to hear.
