Releases
Network upgrades, in order
Nearly half of all TAO sits on root. This release turns its dividend stream into validator-curated baskets — live network numbers, how the fund works, btcli commands, breaking changes, and the migration of legacy claimable state.
The Emission GateSubnet emission now has to beat a market-set demand bar: price-proportional above it, a smooth collapse below it. Idle slots stop earning, and the cost of building on Bittensor falls toward the registration transaction.
Conviction for ContractsEVM access to stake locks and miner conviction, rolled lock views, bounded conviction queries, locked-alpha transfer policy, and subnet owner-cut auto-lock controls.
Interfaces & ReliabilityBounded EVM staking views, Ledger-friendly limit-order signatures, exact mechanism emission splits, predictable epoch counters, repaired testnet warp sync, and a more recoverable release train.
Collateral & Key LineageMiner registration collateral, on-chain hotkey and coldkey swap lineage, bonded key-swap hardening, one-call stake transfer to a new coldkey and hotkey, air-gapped Polkadot Vault signing, and fully benchmarked extrinsic weights.
The Monorepo ReleaseConviction-based subnet ownership, price-driven emissions, the bittensor v11 SDK with a Rust core, Ledger and browser-extension signing, and a verifiable upgrade pipeline — the chain, SDK, CLI, and docs developed and released together.
