Safello CEO Frank Schuil Weighs In on Bittensor's Root Reborn Debate
Frank Schuil, CEO of Nordic crypto exchange Safello, says the proposal may increase complexity for investors and weaken TAO's role as a broad ecosystem exposure vehicle.

The firm says the proposed upgrade introduces significant moral hazard, regulatory uncertainty, and structural risks, while calling for a more formal process around major Bittensor protocol changes.
A breakdown of the recently proposed Bittensor upgrade that would replace automatic subnet selling with validator-directed reinvestment.
A new Bittensor proposal would redirect root staking rewards back into subnet markets, replacing automatic selling with validator-directed reinvestment and potentially transforming root into the network's primary capital allocation mechanism.
NEAR agents earn, settle, and transact across chains cleanly. Bittensor agents buy inference, access trained models, and keep every dollar inside a decentralised economy. NEAR built the settlement layer. Bittensor built the intelligence layer that agents spend more time on.
Conviction is live on Bittensor. 25 of 128 subnets have owner-locked alpha. See the full ranked leaderboard, every column decoded, why to-owner signals community support, and why the 3 subnets Covenant abandoned now show a countdown clock to new ownership.
Const says Bittensor could move to fully onchain governance this summer. Here’s how the proposed two-stage governance system would work.
Const says Bittensor will begin blocking emissions to inactive, self-mining, and exploitative subnets next week as an interim measure ahead of decentralized governance.
Const proposed a decentralized on-chain governance system for Bittensor, introducing a two-stage review process that could launch this summer.
General Tensor and Talisman Wallet announced a partnership to simplify institutional access to Bittensor through wallet infrastructure, multi-sig tooling, and on-chain execution.
Explore how Bittensor’s AI infrastructure model differs from Big Tech, why inference is becoming the most valuable layer in AI, and how decentralized compute networks may reshape AI economics.
Learn how Dynamic TAO (dTAO) works in Bittensor, including subnet staking, alpha tokens, emissions, risks, rewards, and how to evaluate Bittensor subnets as a beginner.
Bittensor's Locked Stake mechanism freezes Alpha tokens to prove commitment, but leaves subnet owners cash-poor. A new lending structure should be created that accepts locked Alpha as collateral at 50% LTV, issues USDC, and lets yield retire the loan automatically.
Bittensor community members are debating a controversial idea floated by founder Const to gradually reduce Root APY and encourage more TAO capital to flow into subnets.
