Bittensor Co-Founder Outlines Decentralization Roadmap for 18 Months

ChainCatcher reports that Bittensor co-founder const posted on X, detailing the project’s current state of decentralization, future roadmap, and goals. Bittensor has not yet achieved decentralization at the economic incentive layer and remains under the leadership of the core team, including const himself, two engineers, and a group of core contributors. Having been live for over five years with no pre-mine, the project now includes 128 subnet teams and more than 20 core validator teams, achieving decentralization in ownership distribution. The team has chosen to prioritize rapid iteration by maintaining centralization, rather than slowly progressing toward democratic decision-making. Regarding future updates, Bittensor will reintroduce competition among validators and open bidirectional liquidity pools to symmetrize the market and prevent manipulation of on-chain signals. Additionally, a belief mechanism will be introduced to grant voting rights to Alpha token holders. Over the coming weeks, updates to TaoFlow and its derivatives will be released to further refine the issuance allocation algorithm and optimize inflation distribution. Const expects the core mechanisms to be fully established within the next 18 months, at which point the three pillars—aligned incentives, optimized value, and true ownership—will operate in synergy, ultimately achieving full decentralization by eliminating centralized control.
