Gate Ventures' research report, "The Bittensor Revolution: The Rise of AI-Based Bitcoin and the New Economic Landscape," offers a comprehensive analysis of Bittensor, an innovative decentralized AI network. Bittensor’s platform adopts Bitcoin’s incentive model and applies subnet architecture alongside game theory, encouraging miners to provide AI inference, GPU computing power, data storage, and other resources. Each subnet features its own Alpha Token, with its value governed by market dynamics, which in turn affects the TAO issuance rate. As of now, the Bittensor ecosystem includes about 80 subnets and is experiencing rapid growth. Nevertheless, the project encounters significant challenges, including limited infrastructure and high redundancy across the ecosystem. Still, Bittensor’s distinct architecture and incentive mechanism present new directions for the development of decentralized AI ecosystems...

Gate Ventures’ article “Oracle Extractable Value (OEV)” explores OEV, a subset of MEV from oracle updates in DeFi. It appears in liquidations and arbitrage, where searchers compete to capture value.
