Does time work differently for Seby, or what? In between starting a venture studio, incubating SN118, and appearing on a podcast per week, he’s rebranded SN46 as zipcode.ai. Nor is it a mere change of name: the new vision is to be ‘on-chain intelligence for real estate’ that ‘opens real estate lending to everyone.’ Novelty Search planned for 11th June.

Another week, another partnership for Leadpoet. But this one’s different, as it’s focused on infrastructure. Through Exa AI credits, SN71 benefits from enriched, real-time web context - which presumably means that their sales leads and AI agents will be that much better. The post says that the credits are available to Leadpoet’s ‘builders’, which I’m guessing means miners, but either way they get $1,000 worth.

I’m a bit late to this one, but SN64 has had a time of it lately. First, the team removed the platform’s most affordable plan, pushing the minimum spend to $10. At the same time, they removed 7 models from the network (apparently ‘underperforming’); judging by the price, Bittensor wasn’t happy - with a couple of large exits plunging the price. Jon published an X article reiterating his commitment; a partnership with SN23 Trishool was announced, and this week over a thousand people participated across four Chutes-sponsored events at Malaysia Build Week. Guys came out swinging.

A $3bn-plus Swiss company building quantum solutions across automotive, energy, finance, and life science sectors, has chosen Bittensor’s SN63 as its venue for breaking RSA encryption. RSA is based on the assumption that finding two prime factors is unfeasibly difficult - but, as qBittensorLabs’ founder Bob Wold says in this video, the advent of quantum computers is threatening this assumption. Terra Quantum supports SN63’s RSA challenge ‘as a responsible public benchmark for cryptographic resilience.’ At last, companies are realising that Bittensor is the best place to search for new solutions.

Following the Subnet Ideathon, HackQuest’s second Bittensor hackathon kicked off in Shanghai, and was led by Affine and Metanova. It’s the first to explicitly focus on AI, and as someone looking to get machine learning research on Bittensor, I’m watching this one closely.

Harry Crane and Iosif Gershwyn with an easy-to-understand walkthrough of SN103, which is about to enable real money transactions on its platform. Meaning that ‘idiots’ - you and me - can buy signals from ‘geniuses’ - sports sharps whose skill bars them from placing bets. And, potentially, reap the rewards.   

I’m biased, but it’s not often you see an impressionist rendering of an 8-bit spaceman. ‘Hang it in the Louvre’, etc…
