SN20 is an on-chain accelerator. It funds, supports and launches the strongest new Bittensor subnets — and rewards everyone along the way.
SN20 is built for two kinds of people — the teams who want to launch a subnet, and the people who want to grow with the ones who do. Pick your path.
Registering a subnet costs more than most teams can raise alone — and that's before infrastructure, validation, and being noticed. SN20 is the alternative: the support, the rails, and the launch, without surrendering your idea or your upside.
You don't have to pick winners. The SN20 flywheel is engineered so holders, backers and the network all compound together — back it once, and grow with everything it graduates.
Launching a Bittensor subnet is one of the most expensive first steps in crypto. Strong teams are turned away before they ever begin.
Registering a subnet is one of the largest single costs in crypto — a dynamic burn that climbs higher with every new registration.
Strong builders are filtered out by registration cost — not by the quality of their idea.
New teams face infrastructure, validation and marketing alone — and most quietly stall out.
There is no clean, on-chain way to back a promising subnet early and grow alongside it.
SN20 runs like a startup accelerator — but every stage is native to Bittensor and settled on-chain.
Teams privately register their idea — submissions stay confidential. SN20's owner-operators select the eight.
Selected teams get an incubation slot, infrastructure, validation, and advisory, dev & marketing support. The team mines its slot for operating runway.
Believers lock TAO behind the teams they trust. At graduation, a native crowdloan funds the subnet.
The team launches its own subnet — fully theirs to run. A crowdloan funds it, and backers earn a share of its emissions.
Every subnet SN20 graduates feeds one engine — its carry returns value to the holders and the crowd funders, while selection fees and that same carry keep buying and burning SN20. It funds the next intake and rewards all four parties at once.
