We began the year exploring opportunities in Bittensor and the role of Decentralized AI for humanity.
The Importance of Decentralized AI for the Future of Humanity
This blog post was generated entirely by https://bitapai.io/ - a UI prompt built on top of Bittensor. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our lives, from voice assistants like...
February
Our focus on Ethereum developments and Bittensor's potential highlighted emerging infrastructure improvements in blockchain AI.

We dove into Bittensor again while evaluating Ethereum's network growth and impact on crypto adoption.
On Decentralized Intelligence Systems, Pt. I
How can we incentivize sharing data?
April
Attention turned to Solana and DeFi, signaling progress in blockchain scalability and cross-chain innovations.
An Introduction to the Solana Network
A data-driven overview of the Solana Blockchain
May
Stablecoins and regulatory impacts took center stage as we analyzed Ethereum's evolving role in digital asset management.
Five perspectives on stablecoins
At this point, stablecoins are a demonstrated success - crypto's first killer app. The data on this front is abundant and increasingly clear. As I have argued, stables have dollarized the crypto...
June-July
We covered Bitcoin’s macro implications, stablecoins, and MEV’s growing relevance, expanding our market insights into crypto-native economies.
Burn incentives in MEV pricing auctions
Burn incentives in MEV pricing auctions Thanks to Barnabé Monnot, Thomas Thiery and Caspar Schwarz-Schilling for feedback and comments. Introduction Overview This post presents a rudimentary review of incentives for burning MEV under the "simple" MEV burn mechanism presented by Justin, as well as its slot auction counterpart, "execution auctions" presented by Barnabé.

A focus on prediction markets and macro trends helped anticipate opportunities shaping next-gen digital assets.
Inside the Government's Attempt to Destroy Election Markets in the Name of Democracy
what accounts for the cftc's "sheer hatred" of political prediction markets that has led it to
November-December
Closing the year strong, we emphasized crypto + AI synergies and expanded our horizons on scalable digital solutions.
Intelligent Capital Formation and Allocation in DeAI
In the history of blockchain consensus mechanisms, miners and validators have traditionally served as independent actors, performing the primary function of producing tamper-proof blocks on Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake networks, respectively. Bittensor has creatively repurposed these roles within its Yuma Consensus mechanism to introduce a novel class of decentralized network architecture, which I refer to as Proof of Useful Work.Capital formation innovations in crypto over the last decad...
Crypto + AI Agents
Experiments at the edge of AI and crypto are driving attention in unexpected ways. We are seeing a number of experiments at the very bleeding edge where people are building distributed AI systems and giving them access to crypto wallets and infrastructure.
Happy New Year from Cosimo Capital!
