About SN128 ByteLeap
Grayscale's S-1/A, filed Oct 23, describes Bittensor's base chain plainly: Subtensor runs on Proof-of-Authority. Nodes join only with Opentensor Foundation approval, and most are owned or controlled by the Foundation. This is more than a risk disclosure. Every subnet's emission rules, every owner's expectations, and every miner's and staker's rewards sit on top of this layer. Clear rules matter, but if a small set of nodes ultimately enforces them, their credibility depends on who runs those nodes. A thriving ecosystem starts with stable, predictable base rules. That takes a chain that is credibly neutral.
