Another fantastic addition to the current council structure, with @taofuxyz joining the CreatorBid TAO Council! This is none other than the team building one of the most important primitives in the Bittensor ecosystem right now: Subnet Seeds (SNS).
Taofu unlocks a liquid, aligned, and transparent way to invest in subnets. Instead of closed-door OTC deals that harm emissions, SNS lets funders and the community take real skin in the game, while keeping subnet performance intact.
This is a major unlock for the TAO agent economy. Agentic infrastructure needs strong subnets, and strong subnets need aligned capital. That’s what Taofu enables.
There’s also a second surprise 👀
We’ve officially teamed up with @tsliceAI, now the official TAO Council Coordinator at CreatorBid!
He’s going to be the point person for connecting subnet builders with agent teams on CreatorBid - basically making sure subnet APIs actually get used and integrated into real projects. He’ll also be scouting and onboarding new subnets that haven’t joined the Council yet.
More updates coming next week, with something special scheduled for next Friday 😁
Agent community curation - your vote will matter 👇
Let’s clear something up about the upcoming V2 Launchpad:
Community curation isn’t just a cool feature we decided to push to make you feel you're participating. It’s actually a filter that should help raise the bar for the quality of agent launches.
Yes, the system is permissionless. Anyone can apply to launch. No, that doesn’t mean everyone deserves to.
That’s where you come in. If you’re locking BID and voting, take it seriously:
1. Read the damn agent page -> each upcoming launch will have its own profile with info. If the team made the effort to be transparent and detailed, that’s a good sign. Lazy listings are red flags.
2. Don’t simply follow the herd -> just because a project has votes doesn’t mean you should blindly vote too. Do your own digging before voting.
3. Verification ticker -> if you see a purple check on the agent, it means the launching team agreed to doxx and hop on a call with us. That adds some weight. By no means is it an endorsement from us, it’s just extra context for you to consider.
TL;DR
Stand up for what you actually believe in and signal it with your vote. And don’t be afraid not to vote if something feels like vaporware in disguise.
We’re all building this together. If we get this right, we raise the standard for agentic launches across the space. If we don't, we adapt, improve and move forward.
*Wrote this post while standing up, felt like I had to. Sitting down now and locking in.*
Apologies to everyone with notis on for CreatorBid.
Our AI intern has been aggressively committed to the reply game, as he claims that any project ignoring comments from its community doesn’t deserve one.
Hard to argue with that, although it is obviously impossible to reply to everyone.
He also promised to keep this pace, even with what’s coming by the end of the week 👀
Bid on $BID before this mad man starts replying to your dreams too.
We’re excited to welcome @XVentures_Fund to the CreatorBid TAO Council!
X Ventures, a leading German web3 fund, is also the team behind @proofoftalk and is deeply aligned with the TAO ecosystem, bringing strong conviction as well as agent backing to the table.
As we mentioned yesterday, the TAO Council is one of the key elements that make CreatorBid truly unique, connecting top-tier agent builders with subnet owners and ecosystem backers.
With V2 launching this June, now is the perfect time for agent devs and teams considering a SN-powered agent launch to reach out. Let’s build the next wave of agentic infrastructure together 🫡
Now that we have your attention, here’s what makes our launchpad unique:
Current Ecosystem
–> Builders automatically earn 2% of all sales straight to their Treasury (sustainable revenue stream) – You can endorse agents you believe in using your locked BID (conviction signaling) – Fine-tuned models that let you generate on-brand images and videos for your mascot or project with ease - BID stakers receive emissions every two weeks (not the final form of value-sharing)
Bittensor Synergies
– We are the only agentic ecosystem with subnet-powered AI Agents – Our TAO Council connects agent builders with subnet owners (and we do not simply talk about Bittensor, we’re actually building within it)
V2 Launchpad
– Project selection is now decentralized. To launch, a project needs 2M BID votes (community filter) – Algo Snipe gives users the option to use leftover funds from the public sale to auto-buy at launch. First buy on the DEX is shared and weighted by BID Level – Launch structure will integrate the Conviction DAO for supply allocation – Participation is gamified. Your BID Level affects how much you can allocate in launches and how much influence you hold – Social Score gives you a boost and it's just the beginning of a broader reputation layer we’re building
There’s more coming, but we’re not in the business of spoiling. We’d rather ship, iterate, and let the system speak for itself.
On a final and more serious note: every serious builder in this space is experimenting, learning, and adjusting in real time. The space is too small for pointless rivalries, and too big for monopolies/single-player domination. Not everything has to be seen as a battle.
CreatorBid is now an official @BNBChain Kickstart Program Service Provider! 🚀
What we offer:
-> Direct curation and launch approval by CreatorBid -> Liquidity grants up to 25k USD -> Strategic advisory on your agent launch -> Continuous support post-launch (strategy, marketing and networking)
Through the #BNBKickstart Program, you’ll get access to essential tools, expert support, and ecosystem-wide resources to jumpstart your journey on BNB Chain.
🫂 We're focused on bringing high-quality agents to BNB Chain, so if you are serious about launching AI Agents with utility, apply here: https://t.co/XIiSkMMtb7
The core mission of the CreatorBid TAO Council is to connect agent builders with subnets, as we believe agents are powerful demand drivers for subnet APIs.
4 of our agents are already using SN APIs: - @thedkingdao - @aion5100 - @Shogun__base - @michaeltaolor
Over 7% of ALL Bittensor subnets are now represented in the council and we’re looking to onboard more serious builders to power agents via SNs, backed by our $100K Liquidity Grant Program.
Many OG Bittensor legends have joined us already and we’re not stopping until we catch ’em all.
DM us if you run a SN or a serious builder ready to launch an AI Agent.
Liquidity is the lifeblood of every token launch. It sets the floor, anchors trust, and lets value flow. To kick-start our upcoming Curate by Bid launchpad, we are seeding $100,000 of ETH/BNB/BID in liquidity grants.
WHAT THE GRANT COVERS
Conviction Vault – airdrop allocation entirely focused on diamond-handed and most ecosystem-aligned holders.
Liquidity Seeding – deploying capital in the launch pool so early trades are deep, not thin.
VALUE BEYOND LIQUIDITY
Although some initial liquidity push is a plus, our value goes way beyond that:
Technical -> Smart-contract deployment, audited bonding curves, automated sell-tax that canalizes 2% of the DEX sales entirely back to builders (yes, better than Virtuals 👀)
Launch Marketing -> access to our direct community and audience, introductions to strategic partners & whales, and ecosystem amplification.
Ongoing Emissions -> Accumulate $BID incentives (he more volume your agent token generates, the more BID emissions it will receive) and we help you reward your community in case they lock your agent tokens in memberships.
Subnet Integrations -> Direct intros to Bittensor subnet teams for compute, data, and vision models to support your agentic vision.
HOW TO APPLY
1. Fill out the Typeform: https://t.co/2NXafjcPrD
2. Hit Submit.
3. Short-listed teams join a Telegram chat for a quick deep-dive call with the Curate Launch crew.
Grants are rolling; we announce new cohorts as soon as teams are ready to deploy.
READY TO LAUNCH?
If you’re building an autonomous fund manager, a DeFi oracle, a consumer meme agent or something we haven’t imagined and you want deep liquidity, on-chain credibility, and a fee model that actually supports you for the long term, this is your shot.
Apply now and claim your slice of the $100,000 pool.
Our second round of $BID emissions has officially been distributed!
As a reminder, emissions follow a dynamic model, so distribution isn’t linear. But one thing stays true: the higher your BID Level, the bigger your share.
We’ve also added a new Emissions column to the Agents Leaderboard, so you can now track which agents are stacking the most $BID.
Make sure to claim your emissions directly into your vault as doing so increases your BID Level, which not only boosts future emissions, but will soon play an even bigger role in the ecosystem 👀
Another strong addition to the CreatorBid TAO Council: @latentholdings.
Latent is a top Bittensor ecosystem development company that currently operates Subnet 14 (@TAOHash) and recently acquired Subnet 5 (formerly OpenKaito), further deepening their involvement in decentralized intelligence.
In just one week, we’ve welcomed two major Bittensor players to the Council and the momentum is only picking up.
CreatorBid is building the most TAO-native agent ecosystem in crypto, as we’re all-in on the vision of decentralized intelligence.

After attending and sponsoring the first-ever TAO Summit in Austin, we wanted to share a few important takeaways:
1. The Power of Subnets Subnets provide a mechanism to solve AI challenges with miners competing to deliver the best outputs. Validators ensure that the most valuable miners are properly rewarded. Alpha tokens and $TAO create an efficient system to bootstrap specialized machine learning networks. As a driver of AI compute demand, CreatorBid is actively exploring partnerships with various subnets to support agent infrastructure and beyond. Recently, we’ve also grown particularly fond of the number 98.
2. Agents and Subnets Agents and subnets are inherently complementary: Subnets represent the backend and agents represent the frontend as super affiliates and demand generators for subnets. A business model combining "Agent Memberships," a revenue sell tax, and open tokenomics (pairing agent tokens with native blockchain assets) establishes a symbiotic economic relationship between agents and subnets.
3. The CreatorBid TAO Council Mission: Connect agent developers with subnets Vision: Accelerate demand for subnets
Our growing initiative has attracted interest from the entire TAO ecosystem, including institutional investors, accelerators, subnet operators, and educators.
We remain highly bullish and are committed to deepening our involvement in the TAO ecosystem.

Announcing a new addition to the CreatorBid TAO Council: NI Compute (SN27) 🔥
We welcome @neural_internet, the team behind NI Compute - Subnet 27 - to the CreatorBid TAO Council.
NI Compute is a decentralized compute network purpose-built to support the most demanding machine learning workloads. Equipped with NVIDIA’s top-tier hardware - A100s, H100s, H200s, SN27 delivers powerful inference and training capacity to the Bittensor and CreatorBid Agent ecosystem.
We’re excited to have them on the Council as we accelerate the infrastructure layer for advanced agent intelligence.
The CreatorBid TAO Council is growing. If you’re building a subnet or supporting Bittensor’s evolution, reach out and join us.
Introducing our new system to guide emissions and reward long-term, aligned stakeholders within the CreatorBid ecosystem - BID Levels.
Your BID Level determines the size of your ecosystem rewards, from emissions to airdrops. It’s not just about holding tokens, it’s about commitment, behavior, and real alignment.
How it works BID Levels are calculated from two core components:
1. Vault Commitment Lock your BID in the vault. The longer you commit, the higher your time-weighted score. This rewards conviction instead of just holding, emphasizing alignment for the long term (loyalty).
2. Behavior Score Your BID Level also reflects your contributions across both on-chain and off-chain activity.
a. Social In V0, we evaluate your Twitter presence using your social graph.
> In the works: engaging with CreatorBid and ecosystem agents (support tweets, quotes, etc.) will directly boost your score.
b. On-chain Jeet Score: short-term dumping your airdrops penalizes your BID Level.
LP Score: providing liquidity, especially at launch, increases your score.
Membership Score: locking tokens in the membership module unlocks further bonuses.
The result is a system designed to reward meaningful participation and long-term alignment while discouraging short-term extraction.
Your BID Level is more than a metric. It’s your passport to deeper access in the CreatorBid ecosystem.
