In this episode of Revenue Search, we sit down with Fred from Polaris (Subnet 49) - a team building what they call the “Airbnb of compute,” starting from Africa and expanding globally.

Fred lays out Polaris’ mission to make GPUs and compute power accessible for universities, researchers, and builders who can’t afford Big Tech’s pricing. We dive into:

• • Why Polaris is focused on turning idle home GPUs into a distributed compute network.

• • Their subscription-based model (instead of a race to the bottom on hourly pricing).

  • The roadmap for revenue, security, and scaling into a full AI infrastructure layer.

  From bootstrapping with loaned GPUs to pitching a $1M raise, Fred is blunt about the challenges, the mission, and why accessibility matters.

Mark and Siam interview Atlas, the founder behind Mantis (Subnet 123) - Mantis doesn’t just score miners on their raw predictions. Instead, it measures the information value of their embeddings - rewarding miners whose signals improve the ensemble accuracy of market forecasts.

Atlas walks us through:

• How a teenager in Costa Rica went from mining Ethereum without home internet to launching one of Bittensor’s most ambitious subnets.

• Why Mantis is starting with BTCUSD forecasting but already expanding into forex and metals.

• The challenge of turning emissions into real-world revenue - from PTN integration to potential hedge fund partnerships.

• How verifiable, time-locked blockchain logging could make signals truly transparent.

If you want to understand how Bittensor is spawning the next generation of quant infrastructure this is one to tune into.

Mark Jeffrey is one of the most trusted voices in the Bittensor ecosystem, and we talk to him about the rise of subnets, what the best teams are doing right, and where many are falling short.

From buybacks and dev roadmaps to communications and narrative, Mark shares how he sees the ecosystem maturing, the signals that matter, and the catalysts that could drive the next wave of adoption.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• Which subnets are setting the pace - and why others are lagging behind

• How buybacks, dev execution, and clear comms can make or break subnet tokens

• What catalysts could reprice Bittensor from niche protocol to mainstream AI infrastructure

In this episode of Revenue Search, we sit down with Jose Caldera, CEO of Yanez MIID (Subnet 54), to unpack how they’re using Bittensor to stress-test the world’s anti-money laundering systems - by generating fake humans. No, really.

We explore how Yanez helps banks and financial institutions meet regulatory obligations by attacking their fraud systems with synthetic IDs, where Bittensor fits into that data generation process, and why their $200B market is begging for automation. Jose also shares how much revenue they’re pulling in, how they plan to reinvest in their alpha token, and whether Yanez is just here to extract - or actually building long-term value into the network.

It’s compliance, but not as you know it.

Can you fire your entire engineering team and replace them with agents?

Shakeel Hussein, CEO of Ridges (Subnet 62), thinks so—and he’s not joking. In this episode of Revenue Search, we dig into how Ridges is building autonomous AI agents that could make coders 100x more productive… or just make them obsolete.

We break down the $400B software dev market, why most AI coding tools are running at negative 500% margins, and how Ridges is playing a different game: model-agnostic, profitable, and scaling fast.

We also get into miner incentives, enterprise go-to-market, and why DSV just made its biggest OTC investment yet: $300K split between alpha and market buys.

Revenue, tokenomics, competition (hi Claude), and the end of software engineering as we know it - this one’s not to be missed.

In this episode, we sit down with Tom and Will, the co-founders (and brothers) behind Bitcast - the Bittensor subnet that's turning content creators into miners.

Instead of hashing or training models, Bitcast miners create YouTube videos based on sponsored briefs. Brands set the agenda, creators compete for watch time, and the best-performing videos earn alpha.

We dig into how the system works, who the creators are, how briefs are scored, and what safeguards are in place against low-quality or AI-spammy content. We also explore:

• • The economics of content-as-mining
• • Multilingual creator campaigns validated by LLMs
  • Why their clients (like Chutes) are getting 1,000+ hours of watch time within days
• • How podcast ad reads are now being monetised via pre-rolls
  • The roadmap for fiat payments, better creator onboarding, and cross-chain briefs

• Tom and Will also drop hints about their agency model, how non-Bittensor brands might use Bitcast in the future, and why they believe they're disrupting $10K/month content retainers.

In this episode, we dive into Subnet 11 - Dippy AI - with co-founder and CEO Akshat Jagga, who’s quietly building one of the most commercially advanced plays on Bittensor. Think AI companions for Gen Z that generate $60K per month… and climbing.

Mark and Siam grill Akshat on:

• Why Gen Z spends 90 minutes a day chatting with AI characters

• How Dippy went from “productivity assistant” to full-blown AI companionship

• The wild monetization model (ads inside chat bubbles)

• Why Elon’s launch validated their entire business

• What real-time video chat with your fantasy avatar could look like… by Christmas

Oh - and if you’re holding alpha, yes, they’re doing buybacks. With actual revenue.

Siam and Mark are back for a deep dive into how DSV actually trades subnets.

We cover:

• Why the TAO halving has quietly moved forward (and what that changes)
• How Siam maps alpha price ceilings using emissions math
• Why most subnets bleed before they moon - and how to time entries
• The tools and metrics DSV uses to scout new opportunities
• Siam’s take on “glass ceilings,” Goldilocks zones, and high EV bands
• And how DSV balances long-term strategic OTC plays with short-term alpha trades

This one’s a masterclass in Bittensor subnet trading - from a fund that lives and breathes it.

Grab a notepad. Maybe two.
