Decentralized artificial intelligence network Bittensor “Strikes Escape Arrangement” with accelerating growth in the subnet, wallets and institutional access, according to the first “State of Bittensor” report from Yuma, an AI-driven e-commerce platform.
The report, which covers the first half of 2025, notes that 77% of consumers now say decentralized AI is more advantageous than large tech-controlled systems, according to a Harris vote commissioned by Digital Currency Group, Yuma’s parent. Almost half of the respondents are already using open source AI tools.
Bittensor is a decentralized, blockchain-based network aimed at creating a peer-to-peer marketplace for machine learning. The explosion in the use of AI for the past few years spurred many blockchain-native projects to investigate how decentralization could help prevent a handful of tech titans from dominating the ownership of the huge data sets that drive the technology.
Based on this, Bittensor’s infrastructure is quickly expanded, with 128 subnets now live, covering use cases from fraud detection to one-unit AI, according to Yuma’s report.
Yanez’s Miid-Undernet, for example, generates synthetic identities for stress-testing financial observing systems. Natix’s StreetVision Crowdsources Urban video data from 250,000 drivers to improve maps and autonomous navigation. Flock’s “Flock Off” Subnet develops lightweight language models that run directly on devices using Federated Learning, keeping data private while scaling through community contributions.
Parental responsibility providers, including Bitgo, Copper and Crypto.com, are also connected via Yuma’s validator, which demonstrates a degree of institutional interest and lays the basis for bittensor’s long -term growth, the report said.
Metrics reinforces the expansion. In the second quarter, the network recorded 50% sub-growth, 16% miner growth and a 28% increase in non-zero wallets. Staked Tao rose 21.5%, while token’s market capital approached $ 4 billion in July. The undernet -tokens approached a total of $ 800 million.
Yuma founder and CEO Barry Silbert said bittensor “changes the way AI is built and distributed,” adding that Yuma is preparing to introduce Yuma Asset Management to help investors get exposure to the ecosystem.
With decentralized intelligence moving from niche experiment to functioning infrastructure, Yuma claims that adoption is no longer theoretical.
“It’s already up and running,” Silbert said.
