Also, learn how crypto and AI agents are set to reshape the landscape of IP utilization.

James from Mode Network joined the lads this week.He shares his journey into Bittensor and dives into their hot new project, Synth. They discuss the intricacies of building financial agents, the importance of a strong data layer for AI, and Bittensor's role in revolutionizing data streaming. 

Today's episode features just Alex and Gazz, with Mike absent. Another brutal week on the timeline has actually freed up some space to think and let builders build.  We're talking tariffs and where we go from here: Hyperliquid, MegaETH, pump, fun, and Berachain.

563 & Brody sit down with CH from Bitget. CH shares insights into his journey at Bitget, the rapid growth of the exchange, and his deep involvement in the Bittensor ecosystem. The lads dive into the complexities of Bittensor's development, the impact of DeepSeek, challenges in the crypto space, and the evolving dynamic between closed source and open source technologies. Also, get the latest updates on the dTAO launch sequence, Glider, DeepSeek, and new subnets from Mode and Yuma. 

Alex, Mike and Gaz round off the week by discussing DeepSeek, our bags nuking, the Base $VVV news, Andre Cronje and the SEC and Jupiter's world domination plans. 

Join Grant as he sits down with Ren and Terry from Eclipse.The lads discuss whether Solana has the potential to surpass Ethereum. Also they chat about how Eclipse is leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) on Ethereum and examine the future of L2 rollups. Are general-purpose L2s becoming obsolete? Hear about their thought on the future of blockchain technology and the implications for the broader crypto space.

This week, the lads dive into the wild market fluctuations.They highlight various projects within the ecosystem, such as Rayon Labs' Chutes, WebGenie, and decentralized real estate valuation tool Subnet 48. They also discuss the importance of open-source models, seamless integrations in developer workflows, and developer incentives like the Church of Rao and Dorm Builders hackathon. 

Four in a bed for this week's gm Degen. Jedi joins us to talk about one of the busiest weeks in the industry we've had in a while. Trump's in, and the bullish news flows, but the timeline is miserable. Ross Ulbricht is out, ZachXBT got a big well-deserved stimmy, ETFs have been filed for shitcoins, John McAfee is back from the dead and Vitalik has chosen violence. 

This week, Grant sits down with Patrick. They discuss Patrick's experiences at Avalabs and Coinbase, the challenges of launching his own crypto project, his frustrations with current ecosystem-specific approaches, and his vision for a more open, neutral codebase. Discover his innovative thoughts on high throughput chains, the importance of application-specific blockchains, and how Commonware aims to revolutionize the crypto space with modular, open-source tools. Patrick believes there's a better way to approach building blockchains and that current methods are insufficient for the next stage of development.

This week the lads are joined by Parshant from Omega Labs. Tune in as we discuss recent updates, groundbreaking projects like Dippy and Targon, and the future of decentralized AI. Don't miss our chat on autonomous software engineering and the potential of text-to-product innovations. Stay tuned for all the latest scoops and interesting conversations happening in the BitTensor ecosystem!
