UR has now launched as Bittensor Subnet 25.
Most importantly for Bittensor, the live privacy network brings with it an existing consumer demand to the tune of 350,000+ monthly active users, more than 100,000 residential network providers, and coverage across more than 100 countries.
The launch was announced by UR and detailed in Jack Ai-Leung's letter to Bittensor, where Ai-Leung said he is launching UR with Brien Colwell and Keith Singery.
“Three months ago, in Stockholm, Brien and I came together to discuss the necessity of a free and open internet for all, a mission which Brien has singularly dedicated himself to for the last two years.” - Jack Ai-Leung
What Is UR?
The project is a decentralized privacy and connectivity network, with its consumer product, ur.io, as the first network operator and demand source.
