寻找下一个Alpha，盘点Bittensor上值得关注的生态项目

Original author: Shenchao TechFlow

The AI ​​sector has surged recently. As the leading token in the AI ​​sector, Bittensor ($Tao) has a market value of US$3.8 billion, and its token price has repeatedly broken new highs.

At the same time, TAOs rapid growth also means that the growth rate has slowed down, but the ecological projects developed around Bittensor are in the early stages of their rise.

If you missed TAO but are still optimistic about the AI ​​sector and Bittensor, then paying attention to early projects in its ecosystem in advance is obviously a choice with higher odds.

Therefore, this article takes you through the early projects in the Bittensor ecosystem in order to find new Alpha opportunities.

AIT Protocol ($AIT): allows users to make money through training data

AIT Protocol is an artificial intelligence data infrastructure that provides Web3 artificial intelligence solutions.

The AIT decentralized market offers a unique and extensive opportunity to millions of cryptocurrency users, with a business model that is very easy to understand:

Let them participate in Train to Earn tasks, allowing them to earn rewards while actively contributing data to the development of artificial intelligence models.

$AIT is the native token and governance token of the AIT protocol ecosystem. It also serves as the platform currency and is used to pay Marketplace subscription fees, data processing, AI leasing and Launchpad.

Token performance

$AIT is priced at $0.82 at the time of writing, with a current market cap of $40.57 million. The price changes in different time periods are:

7 days: +127%

January: +370%

1 year: +588%

Judging from the market value and price, AIT seems to have shown signs of value discovery, especially in the past month, which has contributed huge gains.

Project latest progress

• On January 15, AIT Protocol launched the data annotation platform mainnet.

• On February 14, AIT Protocol released the first internal testnet version on its Bittensor subnet. This also means that AIT Protocol is the first native web3 project on the Bittensor network.

The first project in a certain crypto ecosystem can often reap dividends, and the excellent performance of the AIT token price has proven this.

However, the author believes that the price of AIT tokens may be at a stage high point, rather than the end point; as SORA after OpenAI is officially opened to users, the encryption market will set off another wave of AI concept fever.

TaoPad ($TPAD): a project launching pad to expand the Bittensor ecosystem

TaoPad is a cryptocurrency protocol designed to create better synergies with $TAO, the native token of the BitTensor network.

As a gateway from Ethereum into the Bittensor network, TaoPad enables holders of $TPAD to capture the growing value on the Bittensor network by acting as a development agent, promoting activity on the Bittensor network and distributing earned rewards to holders.

This creates a unique dynamic where the growth and success of Bittensor and $TAO mutually benefits $TPAD holders, creating a harmonious and symbiotic relationship between the tokens and their respective communities.

At the same time, the project introduces a novel reward mechanism that utilizes multiple revenue sources to reward its holders with $wTAO (Wrapped TAO) tokens. This approach aims to create a mutually beneficial relationship between Taopad and $TAO, increasing value for holders and supporting the development of decentralized artificial intelligence.

TaoPad is building a DeFi ecosystem for $TAO and has built the first Bittensor-centered launch platform.

It is worth mentioning that this launch pad is not limited to BitTensor-related projects, but will also give priority to projects aimed at expanding decentralized artificial intelligence, and also creates the possibility for projects to go out of the ecosystem and connect to more opportunities.

Project official website:https://www.taopad.io/

Token performance

The $TPAD token is priced at $11.4 at the time of writing, with a market value of only $12.67 million. The price changes in different time periods are:

7 D：-11% 

1 M：+ 107% 

1 Y：+ 21% 

Price-wise, TPAD does not perform as well as the TPAD mentioned earlier. This is also determined by the nature of the project itself.

TaoPad itself is not related to AI. It can be understood more as a starter around AI projects, and its narrative is naturally inferior to ecological projects that are strongly related to AI technology.

However, if you are optimistic about the development of Bittensor, as the number of ecological projects increases, the performance of TPAD is still worthy of attention.

Project latest progress

On February 16, TaoPad launched its first projectTao Bank, the launch is divided into three cycles and lasts until 12:00 UTC on February 24. The minimum participation amount is to hold 50 or more $TPAD tokens.

Kizuna ($KIZUNA): Meme created by AI

$KIZUNA is the first token built by the decentralized AI network Bittensor, inspired by Ryoshi’s (founder of SHIB coin) successful principles of decentralized minimalism.

It is worth mentioning that Kizuna coin’s vision, logo and other related information are generated on BitAPAI, which is a language model similar to Chatgpt built on Bittensor.

In other words, the MEME itself is created by AI. From the spiritual core, this MEME appears to be more AI Native."。

Like the SHIB coin which has a Shiba Inu as its mascot, the AI ​​model chose an animal as its mascot that resembles a red-crowned crane. The visual communication of the entire project is full of strong oriental fairy tale colors.

Different from pure Meme, Kizuma itself also has certain product capabilities: users can use the projects AI robot to create memes, which undoubtedly makes AI-made memes more topical and engaging.

Token performance

The $KIZUNA token is priced at $0.0000000379 at the time of writing, with a market capitalization of $31 million. The price changes in different time periods are:

7 D：+ 72% 

1 M：+ 201% 

1 Y：+ 1290% 

It should be noted that Meme tokens are often accompanied by sharp rises and falls, and subsequent development also depends on the formation of consensus and the continued operation of the project.

OpSec（$OPSEC): A software solution integrating AI, Depin and security

OpSec focuses on cloud security in the fields of distributed servers, private networks, RDP, GPU, one-click node setup, DePIN hardware and other fields.

More generally, as a decentralized physical infrastructure network provider, OpSec leverages state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology to build, maintain and operate blockchain infrastructure to ensure the security and privacy of blockchain applications.

The projects mission is to explore, implement, and guide the creation of secure, efficient, and decentralized digital ecosystems that attempt to address the limitations of current infrastructure and aim to foster a more democratic, resilient, and secure Internet.

Through OpSec Cloudverse,$OPSECHolders will have seamless access to Tensorage (Tensorage is a subnet on the Bittensor network that specializes in storage solutions) miners with simple one-click setup. OpSec and Tensorage will provide the basic infrastructure needed to create a decentralized storage platform on top of Bittensor.

Project official website:https://opsec.software/

Token performance

The $Opsec token is priced at $0.5 at the time of writing and has a market value of $60 million. The price changes in different time periods are:

7 D：+ 63% 

1 M：+ 301% 

1 Y：+ 559% 

In terms of market capitalization, Opesec has a higher market capitalization than AIT. However, considering the breadth of its business and its ability to serve more other blockchain projects, we can regard it as a to B product, which has relatively greater room for imagination.

Project latest progress

On February 14, OpSec launched the V2 test version.

On February 18, OpSec officially announced its cooperation with the encryption project Dmail Network and opened a Subhub channel on Damil Network.

On February 18, OpSec officially announced a cooperation with Commune AI. The goal of the cooperation is to utilize Commune AI’s multi-functional toolkit in the OpSec ecosystem.

At the same time, the project also sponsors this years upcoming Eth Denver conference. Combined with the above cooperation actions, the operational rhythm of the project is very clear, including releasing versions, establishing connections with more projects, and enhancing brand influence.

Tao Bank: Release TAO liquidity and become MakerDAO in Bittensor

Currently, a key problem faced by $TAO holders is the inability to use TAO itself to obtain liquidity without selling TAO.

There is clearly a need for borrowing here.

Therefore, TaoBank addresses the above needs by allowing $TAO holders to use their assets as collateral for loans. TaoBank’s system has a dual benefit: it provides asset holders with instant liquidity while allowing them to retain ownership of $TAO. In doing so, TaoBank bridges the gap between the static holdings of digital assets and the dynamic financial flexibility that other assets already possess.

In terms of products, like most lending and Defi protocols, TaoBank has similar redemption and liquidation mechanisms and uses ChainLink as an oracle.

Meanwhile, TaoBank also launched TaiUSD ($TUSD), a new over-collateralized stablecoin backed by $TAO. $TUSD will be the first over-collateralized stablecoin backed by $TAO.

Token performance:

We have mentioned in the previous article that TaoBank’s own token $TBANK is also on pre-sale on TaoPad, and ETH is required to participate.

As of press time, the seed round of financing has ended. Participants need to hold more than 1,000 TPAD tokens to participate in this round of TBANK financing. The current TBANK price is 0.000018 ETH.

However, another round of financing with a lower threshold has not yet ended, and those holding more than 50 TPAD tokens can participate.

Tensorplex Labs: Introducing stTAO to lower the threshold for staking TAO

Tensorplex Labs hopes to become the infrastructure for decentralized artificial intelligence networks, with the goal of achieving seamless integration and interaction between DeFi applications and decentralized artificial intelligence technology.

Currently, the most important product on Tensorplex Labs is Tensorplex LST. Tensorplex LST represents the leading liquidity staking solution for decentralized AI network tokens, starting with Bittensor (TAO). It provides users with an easy way to participate in the network and earn rewards through its decentralized artificial intelligence network tokens.

In order to stake TAO, users need to use a Bittensor-compatible wallet instead of the commonly used EVM wallet, causing friction in the onboarding experience.

Tensorplex LST addresses these limitations with stTAO, which can be used in other ecosystems and applications for enhanced flexibility.

• Users can use an EVM-compatible wallet to stake TAO directly on Ethereum without having to create a Bittensor-compatible wallet, thereby creating a better staking experience for users who are more familiar with Ethereum.

• stTAO can be used for DeFi activities, including providing liquidity and collateral to liquidity pools and lending platforms respectively, allowing users to obtain potential additional benefits on top of existing staking rewards.
