A new chapter for $TAO identities starts today.
For the first time, #Bittensor-native .tao domains have a dedicated platform to be bought, sold, discovered, and valued by the market.
List your names. Discover new ones.
Make offers. Buy and sell.
The .tao economy starts now:

We’re teaching AI to see the world, make decisions, and solve problems.
Yet even the most capable models have blind spots. Sometimes, all it takes is a few pixels.
@perturbaix is going after those blind spots on #Bittensor SN26.
🔎 Miners hunt for tiny changes that fool AI models.
✅ Validators confirm the attacks work.
⚡ The strongest attacks earn $TAO.
🛡️ The findings help make AI models more robust.
AI fighting AI, rewarded for finding weaknesses before the bad guys do. Decentralized intelligence in action.
#PerturbVideo Angle 08: Only Al can catch Al 👇

Imagine a robot that can recognize a cat in a photo.
Now change a few tiny pixels.
Suddenly, the robot sees something else.
You can barely spot the difference.
The AI gets it completely wrong.
What if we could find these weaknesses before someone exploits them?
@perturbaix makes it a competition on #Bittensor SN26. Miners discover the tricks that fool AI models. Validators verify them. The best attacks earn $TAO.
Attack AI before attackers do!

🔴 BREAKING NEWS
What if we could find the weaknesses in AI before someone exploits them?
That’s the idea behind @perturbaix on #Bittensor SN26.
Miners hunt for tiny image changes that fool AI models. Validators put each attack to the test. The more successful the attack, the bigger the $TAO reward.
This report from my alter ego Rana Arao is fictional 😅 The threat isn’t.
#PerturbVideo · Angle 10
🚨 AI security is facing a much bigger problem than a single breach.
As AI agents become more autonomous, traditional security defenses are no longer enough.
At Perturb, we're tackling this challenge head-on through decentralized adversarial testing, continuous red teaming, and AI robustness research.
Our latest thought leadership piece on @hackernoon explores why the future of AI security must be proactive, not reactive.

Thanks to @heraldmedia69 for helping amplify this important conversation.

This is genuinely cool, and such an obvious UX upgrade.
Why are we still copying and pasting long wallet addresses when we could just send $TAO to a name? 🤔
Every Bittensor wallet should support this.
@CrucibleLabs, @wearetalisman, @taodotcom, @taostats, @taoapp_.
Did you know you can already send and receive $TAO using .tao names in the @1taodotio wallet?
No more copying and pasting long wallet addresses. Just enter a .tao name and it resolves instantly to the correct wallet address.
Human-readable names. Seamless $TAO transfers.
Add the 1TAO Wallet Chrome extension and try it yourself 👇

“Machines will need identities.”
As the human and machine economies converge on #Bittensor, subnets like @OpenRoboto highlight why a reliable identity layer will become increasingly important.
Decentralised networks need more than infrastructure.
They need a way to identify who’s who.
Robots will need data. Machines will need identities. And both will need an economy
On Monday, @openroboto joins us to talk about how that economy gets built, and the part we’ll play in it together

The best way to support #Bittensor is to actively use the products and infrastructure its subnets are building.
Here’s my current stack 👇
🔘 SN19 @blockmachine_io
Archive node infrastructure for the @NameTensor indexer
🔘 SN64 @Chutes_AI
Inference with Qwen3-32B for Stitch3Validator.com
🔘 @1taodotio
Sending $TAO to .tao usernames instead of long wallet addresses
🔘 @Taostats + @Taoswap_org
API's powering various data features on @NameTensor
🔘 SN22 @desearch_ai
Retweet and quote data for Stitch3Validator.com
A few more I’d like to integrate:
🔜 @say_gm_ for cheap inference to power an AI assistant on @NameTensor
🔜 @SomaSubnet for context compression
🔜 @heydittoai for shared context and memory across AI tools
The goal is to use the ecosystem’s own products and infrastructure wherever they make sense.
What’s in your stack?
Here’s how to send $TAO using a human-readable .tao name in the @1taodotio wallet.
Simple. Seamless ⚡️

So many highlights from @ExploitSummit, but I had the most fun watching PitchTensor through the @SubnetSummerTAO livestream.
Watching two cracked teams pitch their ML ideas to a panel of #Bittensor OGs, and seeing them take their case to a live crowdfund on stage was a cool format. And @carbonphysicsai absolutely delivered.
500 $TAO raised in under 20 minutes to fund a subnet around physics AI. Huge statement.
The crowd has decided: Carbon wins Pitchtensor 2026.
Congratulations to @RyanBequette and @carbonphysicsai, pitching physics AI for engineering at Exploit Summit. Next stop: a Bittensor subnet, with @bitstarterAI.
Hosted by @macrozack, with judges @KeithSingery @MaxSebti @EvanMalanga @willobrien @macrocrux.
Keep watching live: stream.vidaio.io/?event=51cb…
Not every .tao name registration ages well.
⚪️ A typo you only spotted afterwards.
⚪️ A subnet name that has since been deregistered.
⚪️ A project or brand that has moved on to a different name.
Your only option now is to list it on our Marketplace, but what if there was another option?
Something new is coming.
Introduced by @const_reborn at @ExploitSummit: GAMMA.
GAMMA is a proposed canonical standard for usage credits on #Bittensor, representing access to services provided by infrastructure subnets.
Unlike Alpha, which represents exposure to a subnet’s emissions, GAMMA is about actually using what a subnet provides.
Credits could eventually be purchased, held, transferred and used across Bittensor, with bridging enabling external usage too.
An important step toward a more interconnected $TAO economy.
Here is @const_reborn's full keynote at @ExploitSummit
It is worth the 36 minutes, but I'll give you the cliff notes.
> Affine 1, a model trained by anonymous miners entirely on Bittensor, matches the intelligence score of Anthropic's Opus 4.1.
> 23 of 128 subnets now have paying customers
> Gamma tokens are coming to turn subnet usage credits into something agents can buy from any chain.
> "We're not afraid of hyper-intelligent bot swarms on the internet. We use them to optimize our technology."
Own a .tao domain?
Use it to create a @Tip_TAO_ profile ☕️
Show the #Bittensor community what you’re building, share your content, and receive support directly in $TAO.
🔗 tiptao.io
A @NameTensor .tao domain is your on-chain identity.
A TipTAO profile is how the community discovers and supports it ☕️
Showcase what you’re building and make accepting $TAO tips as easy as sharing a link 🔗
Setup takes about 2 minutes.

Excited to announce that .tao identities are now supported on @taoflows_app.
TaoFlows is a real-time #Bittensor subnet screener where you can track stake flows, compare charts, and swap subnet alpha in one place.
Their portfolio tracker now supports simple lookups using .tao names, replacing the need to copy and paste long wallet addresses.
Another step toward a more human-readable, simpler, and more intuitive $TAO ecosystem.
Try it out: taoflows.app/portfolio
$TAO "wen wallet address lookup by .tao username?"

New leaderboard feature: see .tao holders ranked by $TAO balance.
Until now, the leaderboard ranked holders by the number of .tao domains they own. Now, you can toggle to “By $TAO” and see who holds the most $TAO.
And we already have a new #1 🥇
MOGMACHINE.TAO has overtaken YUMARAO.TAO with ~4.5K $TAO in its associated wallet.
🔗 nametensor.io/archive?view=l…
More identities are changing hands on our secondary marketplace.
BITCAST.TAO was sold today for 0.10 $TAO and has already been relisted for 0.50 $TAO.
How long before the next trade?

"As #Bittensor grows and attracts users without a technical blockchain background, tools like NameTensor become increasingly relevant."
"The already confirmed integration with @1taodotio shows that this kind of infrastructure is starting to be adopted by other tools in the ecosystem, reinforcing its role as a support layer, rather than a standalone product."
Appreciate the recognition and the support across the bittensorglobal.com websites, @FilipeCSales 🫡
