Episode notes
Seamless Cross‑Chain Alpha Onboarding
- SN10's product removes major onboarding friction by letting users buy alpha without a new wallet or TAU for gas.
- It swaps ETH→USDC→bridged USDC→TAU and stakes to alpha in one flow from MetaMask.
Buy Alpha From Your Existing Wallet
- Use the product from your existing MetaMask on Base to buy alpha in one click without creating a new wallet.
- Rely on canonical liquidity pools to avoid fresh per‑subnet pools and reduce slippage.
No Wrapped Tokens—Real Alpha Control
- SN10 avoids wrapped tokens by using interchain accounts so users control real alpha held on BitTensor EVM.
- This reduces smart‑contract complexity and avoids creating new per‑subnet liquidity needs.
