Trying to catchup on Bittensor? Don't start with the whitepaper

Start with the subnets — where the real action is.

Here are Top 13 you should know: Disclaimer: Going to be covering ones that I find interesting & relatively easy to understand in this thread

This is not an exhaustive list of subnet to invest in. I'll share my thoughts on this later in my next Bittensor substack article

Top 8 Cookie DeFAI Hackathon Projects My thoughts on @cookiedotfun DeFAI Hackathon

I didn't realize until later that projects with tokens were disqualified (even though many were highlighted on the Cookie DeFAI Hackathon dashboard).

Still, there were so many high-quality teams building unique products.

AI Agents are bouncing back hard

Here’s a breakdown of the Top 6 strongest sectors leading the charge: The market had a massive sell-off off the back of Trump's Tariff announcement with fear of trade wars with Mexico, Canada, China looming

The fear is now suspended for 30 days after last min negotiations between the two US neighbors

The agent market has been bleeding for 3-4 weeks straight.

So.....What's next? 🧵 Let's look at what has transpired in the past month

Total Market Cap went down from $21.5BN to $9.5BN, ~55.8% retracement across the board

Almost all of the agents retraced 20-90% during the last 30d making this the largest drawdown we've seen in the sector

Top 7 Projects' Highlights from AI Agent Demo Day Episode 3 w/ @dabit3 ↓ 1. Zo: OS for Human-Agent Coordination

Overview:
@joinzo is building an "agentic web" ecosystem where agents become the primary means of interaction and collaboration online. These agents act as extensions of human intent, enabling decentralized intelligence and automation.

Core Innovations:
- Agent OS: A framework to design, deploy, and monetize agents.
- Multi-Agent Swarms: Collaborative agents working on complex, multi-step queries.
- Knowledge Bases: Integrates diverse data formats (e.g., PDFs, YouTube videos, web content) into the agent’s decision-making processes.

Case Study:
- Created a personalized agent clone of Nader, pulling data from his social media presence to demonstrate knowledge synthesis and customized responses.

- Showed multi-agent swarms answering technical queries, such as analyzing Ethereum’s proof-of-stake mechanism in a collaborative and iterative manner.

- Ethical Data Ownership: Zo ensures agents share revenues generated from user data back to its originators, promoting fair value distribution.

Applications:
- Autonomy for DAOs and decentralized governance.
- Real-time intelligence for individuals and teams.
- NPCs and companion bots in gaming and personal development.

Top 4 Trending AI Agents in the Past 24 Hours

(Bonus at the end) 1. @maxisbuyin_

An agent by @distilled_AI, powered by $MAX – the utility token for @agentsdotland, a multi-chain no-code launchpad for AI agents on Solana and Oraichain (AI L1).

Why the hype?
• $MAX surged +700% PA in the past 7 days.
• Linked to BTC price action due to its BTC bull-posting & prediction capabilities.
• Agentsdotland has successfully launched 3 projects: $MAX $RACKS $GRNT

With $MAX required to be staked/locked for 15 days to get WL access (similar to legacy IDO platforms), demand is soaring.

The team also introduced Agent's Vault, enabling users to stake other agent tokens for revenue sharing & exclusive rewards.

InvestmentDAO — The (3,3) Trend Taking Over AI Agents in Dec 2024 ↓ What’s an InvestmentDAO?

According to @daosdotfun, an InvestmentDAO is A creator-funded smart wallet with special rules that invests on behalf of DAO token holders.

Here’s how it works:
• Creators have 1 week to raise funds.
• Investors ape their $SOL at the same price.
• $SOL raised is used to invest in the creator’s favorite projects on Solana.

Meanwhile, a DAO token gets created and starts trading on a Virtual AMM. The price of the DAO token goes up or down based on the success of the DAO’s trading activity.
