General Tensor and Talisman Wallet have announced a partnership aimed at making Bittensor trading, subnet discovery, and investing more accessible for institutional participants.
The collaboration combines Talisman’s wallet infrastructure and multi-signature tooling with General Tensor’s validator, mining, and trading ecosystem, including Backprop, with the goal of creating a clearer path from custody to on-chain deployment within Bittensor.
Talisman currently secures approximately $2 billion in cross-chain assets, with roughly half tied to Bittensor-related activity. Through its Signet product, the company also operates what it describes as the only production-grade multi-signature interface currently available on Bittensor, an important piece of infrastructure for funds, treasuries, family offices, and DAOs allocating capital at scale.
The partnership will explore ways to connect intent expressed at the wallet layer with execution across General Tensor’s infrastructure stack and the broader Bittensor network. The companies said the long-term goal is to support a more institutionally viable flow from custody and security to deployment and settlement.
“Talisman owns the front door to Bittensor,” said Mike Grantis, CEO of General Tensor, in the announcement. “Pairing the network's largest wallet with our validator, mining, and application stack closes the loop between what a user, or an agent, intends to do, and what actually happens on-chain.”
The partnership will be introduced at Proof of Talk 2026, where both firms are co-sponsoring the Bittensor track and hosting a workshop focused on financial infrastructure for the Bittensor ecosystem.
