Competing at the Top
of Bittensor Subnets

I compete as a top miner across multiple Bittensor subnets — consistently achieving winning emission positions by optimizing model outputs, fine-tuning inference pipelines, and pushing the quality ceiling that validators score against.

2025 — PRESENT
Top Miner — Multi-Subnet Winner
Consistently ranking in top emission tiers across SN57, SN59, SN68, SN71, SN79. Optimizing miner outputs against validator scoring, maximizing TAO emissions through high-quality, competitive inference.
2024
Bittensor Miner — First Registrations
Entered the Bittensor network, registered UIDs across key subnets, and started competing in the Legacy TAO model. Mastered the Yuma Consensus scoring system to optimize miner weight-setting.
2024 — dTAO LAUNCH
dTAO Transition — Alpha Token Strategy
Adapted mining strategy for Dynamic TAO — selected high-emission subnets based on alpha token flows, re-registered UIDs, and maintained top-ranking miner positions under the new AMM emission model.

Active Subnet Involvement

I participate across multiple Bittensor subnets as validator, miner, and developer. Each subnet below reflects hands-on work — not just staking, but running infrastructure, contributing code, and understanding the incentive design.
