We needed to run trusted workloads on untrusted host machines.
So over a year ago, we started building the Targon Virtual Machine to enable Confidential TEEs in production.
Today we're sharing our white paper written alongside @intel: Decentralized Compute on Untrusted Hardware Using Intel® TDX and Encrypted CVMs

Cascade, connected throughout #Bittensor.
@heydittoai - uses Ephemeris, our forecasting inference platform, to allow users to predict their credit usage based on their own historical data.
@TargonCompute - provided us with compute credits so we could test how to configure our time series foundation model architecture, and complement it with the right data.
@numinous_ai - uses our subnet to forecast upcoming relationships between events, and we use their knowledge graphs to strengthen our time series data.
@lium_io - one of our supported compute providers, helping miners rent GPUs to contribute to our newly launched mixture-of-experts competition.
Who decides how a subnet pays its miners, validators and owner? With eTAO, the subnet does, within firm limits.
The first written companion to Talking Targon covers what changed, why it took years, and the guardrails. From Ep. 01 with @const_reborn.

We have just repurchased and burned 1,772 TAO (~$445K) of SN4 alpha using organic revenues generated via Targon.com
We have also burned an additional 6,678 TAO (~$1.7M) worth of SN4 alpha, which also represents revenue generated via Targon
With exploits on the rise, plan for the host getting breached.
Targon Virtual Machines run on Intel TDX.
Memory is encrypted with keys the host never sees, so even a compromised server can’t see your data, your weights or your code.
Every few hours, it seems like there’s a new software exploit.
This week, a critical PHP flaw forced government websites across Europe offline, and the NSA told anyone who couldn’t patch to take their systems down, and one attacker used AI agents to break into the websites of 100+ companies for about $50 a hack.
Exploits that used to take months now take minutes. And a standard VM still assumes you trust the host. The hypervisor, the admins, anyone who gets that far can read what’s in memory.
The hardware to close that gap already exists. The question is no longer how fast you can patch, it’s whether anyone else can see inside your workload while it runs.
Bittensor is adapting, and passing more control to the network participants.
eTAO is yet another step toward true decentralization.
“Inside of a competitive network, where you're being governed by the market.” @const_reborn on Talking Targon

Talking Targon, Ep. 01 is now live.
Bittensor co-founder Jacob Steeves aka @const_reborn joins us to break down eTAO, the upgrade that lets subnet owners decide how their emissions are split.
We get into subnet economics, the guardrails against exploits, and what it unlocks for compute on Targon.

With eTAO on the horizon, it's finally time.
Talking Targon 001 with @const_reborn drops tomorrow.
Tune in later today for some big news on the future of Bittensor and subnet capital allocation.
We have some surprises dropping soon so stay tuned 👀
This Thursday on Novelty Search :: Subnet 4 :: @TargonCompute
Targon is building a decentralized GPU cloud on Bittensor, providing on-demand compute for AI training and inference.
Its confidential VMs use Intel and NVIDIA hardware security to protect sensitive models and data, even from the providers operating the servers.
Live on Thursday :: 9PM UTC :: via Bittensor Discord
Hosted by @const_reborn

Had an awesome time last week representing @TargonCompute in Montreal for @ExploitSummit!
I always leave any conference with Bittensor folks feeling even more bullish, the energy that this community has is contagious.
Great seeing old friends and making some new ones, future is bright!
Last week in Montreal, we sat down with a few of our fellow builders working to push the boundaries of permissionless intelligence on Bittensor.
Innovation is happening rapidly, and we're proud to be shipping alongside such a talented group of passionate leaders.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, we look forward to continue accelerating the growth and capabilities of decentralized AI.
