Every briefing we have published, newest first.
Five finished upgrades, none switched on, and a proposal to let people bet against a subnet
Nothing changed on Bittensor itself this week, because five completed upgrades are all waiting on the same missing signature, while the newest proposal would let anyone take a dated position for or against a subnet's token for the first time.
A way to bet against a subnet is proposed, while the upgrade queue sits unsigned
Bittensor was offered new financial machinery today, but four finished upgrades are still waiting for a second signature before anyone can use them.
Root staking gets curators, while four upgrades wait for a signature
The most common thing people do with their TAO just changed, and several fixes behind it are sitting unsigned.
The new way of staking to Root is switched on, while four upgrades wait for a signature
Bittensor's biggest change to staking in months went live this week, and at the same time the network published a plain admission of who actually runs it.
Bittensor's biggest change in months is live, and three more are stuck in a queue
You can now follow a professional's picks instead of choosing subnets yourself, while three finished upgrades sit waiting on signatures that have not arrived.
Root's new funds are switched on, and someone else now picks your subnets
Bittensor has turned on curated staking baskets, so backing the network now means backing a manager's judgement about which projects deserve the money, with a cap to stop anyone betting the lot on one.
A tidy-up ships, and a stricter rule on subnet takeovers waits its turn
Nothing dramatic landed today, but the work sitting in the queue decides who can take control of a subnet and how easily anyone can move between them.
The hands-off way to hold TAO will stop paying out, and start buying for you
Two rule changes are written and sitting one signature away from going live: one decides what your rewards turn into, the other decides who can take a subnet away from its owner.
Your root rewards now get reinvested instead of paid out
The network has stopped selling subnet tokens every block and started buying them instead, and a second upgrade waiting on two signatures would make subnets far harder to seize.
Bittensor rewrote the rule that pays every subnet, twice in nine days
Five updates to the network between 3 and 13 August, including a change to how money is shared out that almost everyone is describing wrongly.
