SN75 Hippius :: Decentralized Cloud Infrastructure on Bittensor
About SN75 Hippius
Novelty Search E085 features Hippius, a decentralized cloud infrastructure network built around Bittensor. Const and Mog are joined by the Hippius team to explore how the project has evolved beyond decentralized storage into a broader cloud stack spanning S3-compatible storage, virtual machines, confidential compute, one-click deployments, and infrastructure for AI agents. The conversation covers Hippius’s architecture, its relationship with Bittensor and the Hippius chain, Arion, miner infrastructure, encryption and attestation, pricing, referrals, token economics, and how real demand for cloud services flows back through the network. The team also demos parts of the Hippius stack, discusses upcoming mobile apps and HipChat, and looks ahead to CDN, edge gateway, database services, and a broader decentralized alternative to traditional cloud infrastructure. In this episode: * Why decentralized storage has historically been difficult on Bittensor * How Hippius approaches S3-compatible storage * The Hippius chain and its connection to Bittensor * Arion and the network’s infrastructure architecture * Encrypted VMs and confidential compute * One-click WordPress and Hermes deployments * How miners participate in the network * Usage, pricing, referrals, and network economics * Building infrastructure for AI agents * What’s next for Hippius, including HipChat, mobile, CDN, and database services Novelty Search is a weekly exploration of the ideas, teams, and technology emerging across Bittensor. 00:00 Introduction 02:08 The history of decentralized storage on Bittensor 03:47 Why Hippius is different 05:13 Bridging Bittensor and the Hippius chain 07:47 Why Hippius built its own blockchain 09:06 Incentives, revenue and token economics 15:28 Introducing Arion 17:01 Building reliable S3-compatible storage 20:01 Building beyond the Bittensor market 23:00 Hippius Drive and the consumer experience 24:09 The Hippius mobile app 28:00 Confidential compute 29:17 The Hippius cloud cons
