SN20 is operated by a team that has run live infrastructure on Bittensor for years — and built alongside partners who bring the teams, the knowledge, and the resources to set the standard for how subnets launch.
One of the few teams that has been building on Bittensor since the early days — with the live, 24/7 infrastructure to prove it.
Team Rizzo runs honest, bare-metal validation across the network and has operated its own subnets for years — not as a side project, but as a full-time operation with engineers maintaining each subnet around the clock.
That track record is the foundation under SN20. An incubator has to keep eight teams' infrastructure alive while they build; Rizzo already does exactly that, every day, on its own hardware.

Subnet 20 (BitAgent — agentic AI) and Subnet 45 (SWE — code generation).
Dedicated hardware, not rented cloud — the base layer SN20 teams run on.
Engineers across time zones keeping every subnet maintained, always on.
Rizzo operates the infrastructure — but a strong incubator needs more than uptime. SN20 is being built with two further partners who bring what an accelerator lives on: deal flow, judgment, and hands-on support.
Brings operational and advisory depth — the experience that helps eight teams avoid the mistakes that quietly kill new subnets.
Already focused on finding and working with promising teams — bringing a live pipeline of potential incubation candidates to SN20.
An incubator is a promise: bring us your idea and we'll get you to launch. That promise is only as good as the people behind it. Here's why this structure can keep it.
Keeping subnets alive 24/7 is the unglamorous work most teams underestimate. Rizzo already does it at scale — so incubated teams build on a foundation that exists, not a promise.
An incubator is only as strong as the teams it admits. A dedicated sourcing partner means intakes are filled from a real pipeline — not whoever happens to find the form.
Advisory depth across the partnership means teams get more than money and servers — they get the judgment that turns a working prototype into a subnet that survives.
SN20's flywheel was engineered on one principle: every participant gains at the same time. The subnet, its token holders, its crowd funders, and its incubation teams all grow together — and so does Bittensor, with each graduate adding a proven new subnet to the network. It's an alignment you can trace yourself on the flywheel page.
Whether you're a team with an idea or a partner who can strengthen the program — there's a place for you in what SN20 is building.
