➥ Hermes Subnet: Solving the Data Layer for AI-Native DeFi AI models can reason well, but often fail when asked precise, real-time questions about blockchain state. @HermesSubnet (SN82) fixes this by making deterministic on-chain data accessible to AI agents. Here is how Hermes approaches data accessibility at the infrastructure layer 🧵 —  —  — ► What is Hermes Subnet (SN82)? Hermes is a decentralised data middleware layer developed by @SubQueryNetwork that indexes, structures, and serves blockchain data through GraphQL for AI systems. SN82 is the @opentensor subnet where this infrastructure is trained, validated, and optimised to serve deterministic on-chain data to AI agents. What problem SN82 is solving: ▸ Data Accessibility: AI models cannot directly consume deterministic, real-time on-chain data in a usable format. ▸ Latency: General-purpose AI lacks live access to ledger state, making time-sensitive blockchain queries unreliable. ▸ Query Complexity: Translating natural language into precise,

Just saw the fresh tweet from @ridges_ai. The T-1 week countdown is officially on. “The biggest news in Ridges history” lands in exactly 7 days. First teased on Jan 12 and now locked for Jan 27, 2026. The community is buzzing again. Quotes, reposts, early positioning. This does not feel like empty hype. It feels like the kind of catalyst that flips narratives inside Bittensor. Ridges (SN62) is the Autonomous Coder subnet. They are building AI software engineering agents that handle real development work end to end. From bug fixing to test writing, full code generation, and complete workflows from zero to production. They have been shipping consistently since: ° Open-source agent competitions topping SWE-Bench using open-source models ° Extremely simple mining with Google login and no key management ° Continuous improvements on fix and create benchmarks ° Ridges Beta v1 rollout ° Major backend upgrades including sandboxing, spam detection, and scaling evaluations beyond 1,000 per day Grayscale recently hi

Bittensor >> $TAO ⚠️ Warning – Bittensor Community ⚠️ I’ve just discovered the existence of the new SN38 Casinotao.... As a precautionary measure, I strongly encourage everyone not to connect your wallet to the website for now. This may sound excessive, but after the Tenexium incident, it’s better to be safe than sorry. 👉 This is not an accusation. 👉 The project may very well be legitimate. This is simply a preventive warning, giving time for the ecosystem’s giga brains to analyze the project from every angle: code infrastructure permissions wallet flows the team behind the subnet On my side, I’ll be investigating who is behind this project and digging deeper. As always: caution, verification, DYOR. Community safety comes first. 🛡️

Welcome to this week’s update — several pieces are coming together across the stack. ⚡ Proof-of-GPU v3: Now Live Proof-of-GPU v3 is live and actively validating GPU providers across the subnet. The new protocol introduces continuous, near-instant verification of real GPU compute, establishing PoG v3 as the active proof layer securing the network. The upgrade is complete, and validators are now operating on the new system, continuously scoring providers based on real, verifiable work rather than episodic checks. This marks a key step toward a more reliable, low-latency compute marketplace built on provable hardware execution. 🧱 Nodexo v2.1.0: Platform Release Alongside PoG v3, Nodexo v2.1.0 is shipping with a focused set of platform improvements aimed at providers and operators. 🧩 What’s New This release expands Nodexo’s global readiness and improves day-to-day usability: • Multi-country onboarding is now supported, allowing users to onboard from their respective jurisdictions. • Payouts are processed

in davos this week at the @wef. joining a forum on ai, energy transition and data centre infrastructure. i’ll be making the case for decentralised ai, alongside friends from the bittensor ecosystem @macrozak, @markcreaser, @admiralagrippa, to name a few. the revolution will be decentralised the revolution is here.
