Bittensor has emerged as a significant revenue generator in the blockchain space, pulling in $33.4M and securing the 9th position among all chains by this metric. However, recent ecosystem shifts tell a more complex story. The TAO flow implementation triggered a notable contraction: Synth, Quantum Compute, and Sportstensor subnets all saw emissions collapse to zero—a stark signal for subnet operators. Meanwhile, subnet 62 (Ridges) faced steeper challenges, recording a -9kt negative flow. The December 15 halving event marked another inflection point, cutting daily emissions by half to 3,600 TAO—reshaping incentive structures across the network and forcing stakeholders to recalibrate their economic models.
