What if the future of AI and blockchain isn't just about currency, but about creating a decentralized ecosystem for innovation?

In this episode of the Deep Dive, we explore Bittensor, a groundbreaking project at the intersection of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. Our guest is Gustav Laurent from ManaMinds, an expert who has been immersed in the crypto world for seven years, starting with Bitcoin and DeFi. For the past year and a half, Gustav has focused exclusively on Bittensor, and he joins us to unravel the complexities of this ambitious project and explain why it is generating so much buzz.

Bittensor aims to create a decentralized network architecture that allows for the building of applications needing precise incentive systems. The project is structured around a main blockchain substrate, with specialized applications called subnets competing to attract TAO emissions, the network's token. Within each subnet, three main roles exist: the subnet owner, miners, and validators, each with distinct responsibilities and rewards. The episode delves into the project's unique tokenomics, including a recycling feature that could prevent the total supply of TAO from ever reaching its theoretical maximum, and discusses its potential applications, from AI to medical research, highlighting Bittensor's capacity to tackle infinitely improvable problems.
