BitTensor (TAO) and Solana announced an official collaboration, with TAO now tradable on Solana via Sunrise DeFi and Moonshot. The video argues that while the announcement seems small, it unlocks significant liquidity and retail access for the largest AI crypto ecosystem, and explores real-world subnet projects like Resi and the potential for future expansion.
BitTensor and Solana have announced an official collaboration, with TAO being listed on Solana via Sunrise DeFi.
Bitcoin reclaimed $81.5K, Ethereum up 14% on the week, Dogecoin up 25% on the month, Hyperliquid up 25% this month, and TON up 47% following the Telegram Foundation announcement.
Users can now trade TAO using Solana wallets, DEXes, and aggregators via Sunrise DeFi, making the token accessible to Solana's large user base.
On Solana, TAO is held in a wrapped form rather than on the native BitTensor chain, reducing friction for users who don't want to bridge or open a new wallet.
TAO's entire blockchain did $219M in volume over 24 hours, while Solana's DEX volume hit $1.72B (plus $1.3B perp volume), meaning even capturing a few percentage points would significantly boost TAO.
BitTensor was verified on Moonshot the same day, enabling Solana-native retail users to easily buy TAO, powered by Tao.com.
Tao.com suggests this is just the start, with plans to bring every subnet and all parts of TAO to the broader crypto ecosystem, potentially via Solana.
Resi, a real estate AI platform on BitTensor, claims 98% appraisal accuracy across a million properties and is backed by Stillmark Capital, with accuracy reportedly higher than Zillow.
Examples include a partnership with Intel, Venice building models on BitTensor subnets, and projects accepted into Nvidia's and Salesforce's build programs.
BitTensor's circulating market cap is around $3B, compared to Cardano at $10B, Dogecoin at $20B, Tron at $30B, and Solana at $50B, highlighting significant growth potential.
The Solana-TAO collaboration is primarily a liquidity and accessibility play, not a technical upgrade. With Solana's far larger daily volume and Moonshot's retail reach, the move could meaningfully boost TAO's exposure and attract new capital to BitTensor's subnet ecosystem.

09:36[00:00] We had some big news come through the door today. An official collaboration between BitTensor and Solana. So, in this video, I'm going to break down exactly what this means. And even though the
[00:12] announcement somewhat seems a little underwhelming on the surface, I think the numbers will show you this is going to bring so much attention and liquidity into BitTensor's ecosystem, which is the biggest in AI crypto. So, without further ado, let's go ahead and jump right into the video.
[00:39] As always guys, be sure to drop down below if you enjoy the content here on the channel. Like the Monday through Friday. We have you covered with everything you need to win in crypto in 2026. And
[00:53] of course, a big shout out to our sponsors down below in the description. This is the last 10 days for the trading competition. $100,000 on the line. You can sign up at Blofin down below. Join Team
[01:05] Hustle and compete for your share of those prizes. Obviously, longs have been paying as we see the market is absolutely ripping. I mean, Bitcoin is back above 80. We're at 81.5K. We see Ethereum up
[01:18] 14% on the week. Dogecoin is up 25% on the month. We see Hyperliquid up 25% this month. It's been a really solid month. TON off the backs of the actual Telegram Foundation coming and joining the
[01:34] foundation on TON, up 47%. So, it's been a great month in the markets over this course of time. And yesterday we got some pretty good news across the board from two mainstream protocols. Solana being
[01:48] one of the biggest blockchains in the industry and of course BitTensor TAO, which you guys know I am beyond bullish on BitTensor. I think that still when you look across the board in this ecosystem top to bottom, it is hard to fade an ecosystem that has so many quality projects here partnering
[02:05] up with the likes of Intel, joining Nvidia's growth programs, working alongside Google. We've seen some of these subnets see really good developments happening underneath BitTensor TAO. And then just yesterday Solana's official Twitter account had tweeted this and anyone privy
[02:22] to the BitTensor ecosystem. You probably knew immediately because of the interconnectivity. This kind of is a signal in the background of the subnets and how the whole ecosystem works
[02:35] together with Solana overlapping it. You could see here that a lot of people were immediately speculating that this is going to be something with BitTensor TAO and Solana, and that's exactly
[02:48] what it is. So we see here TAO is now listed on Solana via Sunrise DeFi. Users can now trade TAO using Solana wallets, DEXes and aggregators. Now I saw a lot of feedback on the timeline saying well
[03:03] this is such a nothing announcement. This is not going to move the needle. Whatever the case is, the whole point of BitTensor is to stake into the subnets. And yes, I absolutely agree. The subnet ecosystem is of course the main backbone of this, and if you're not going to actually use BitTensor
[03:21] on the native ecosystem you're going to miss out as a consumer, but I have to give this caveat when you actually look at the fact that this is an ease of access type of move. So Solana has
[03:34] so many traders, so much liquidity, and they just want to give access to the Solana ecosystem to be able to buy into the TAO token above else. I think that is very important. So TAO is now tradable in
[03:47] a wrapped form on Solana. So you're not holding the native BitTensor chain TAO. You are holding a wrapped form of TAO whenever it comes to the Solana version. But it adds so much liquidity,
[04:02] ease of access, as I mentioned, if people don't have the proper exchanges to buy it on a centralized exchange or they don't want to bridge over or open a new wallet on the TAO ecosystem. And also it is going to add a ton of volume to the token. And this is just in the numbers. Over
[04:18] the last 24 hours, the entire TAO blockchain has done $219 million in volume. And we move over to Solana. And this is pretty crazy. The DEX volume is $1.72 billion. So I'm going to not include the
[04:35] perp volume. I think that that's pretty irrelevant in this standard. It's 1.3 billion. But the DEX volume here is what is really important. I mean this blockchain is doing nine times as much daily volume as what BitTensor is doing. And if even they can capture a few percentage points of this
[04:52] volume going into the TAO token, this is extremely important. We also saw on the same day today that BitTensor was now verified on Moonshot. So it's adding a lot of ways for retail to be able to
[05:05] play and actually buy Solana because Moonshot a lot of their tokens are native to Solana. So then these Solana ecosystem users can come in and actually buy the TAO token, and this is powered by
[05:18] Tao.com. This is just the start. They eventually say every subnet, every part of TAO to the greater reaches of crypto. So it seems like they are planning to bring more than just the native
[05:34] TAO token to Solana to where people can actually get access to these different subnets. And look, if you haven't been seeing what these subnets are cooking up, it's absolutely bullish
[05:46] what we're seeing across the board. Take Resi for example. I mean Resi is one of the biggest real estate AI platforms in the entire world at this point in time. It's an infrastructure play from Resi that has an appraisal model for properties. So you could see here they've
[06:02] achieved a 98% accuracy rate across a million properties that they have analyzed, and it's kind of like tokenization of real-world assets. This is exactly what the RWA space needs. And the AI
[06:18] part of this is actually adding such a good layer of validation and verification to this process of validating property values. And the accuracy of their appraisals is actually higher than Zillow,
[06:33] which I think is what everyone goes to look at these different Zestimates and values of properties in the real estate space. Whenever you go look online, you can see the chart here for Resi is absolutely cooking. They're backed by huge funds including Stillmark Capital. I
[06:47] do think that this is one of the use cases with RWAs and AI that really is a fit. And these are the types of companies, guys, that are building on BitTensor. This is exactly what you're getting.
[06:59] These high-level projects that are working in industries that need solutions. I'm going to leave a few links down below. If you want to check out Resi, if you want to check out Taostats, etc., you can check that out down below in the description. But I just think it's really
[07:12] important to see what's being built on the chain. If you're going to be investing, let's say you're coming from Solana and you're coming to see, okay, what's building on top of BitTensor? Well, you can see here you drop the address in the portal of Resi. They have the AI consensus price
[07:27] 97% accurate. Compare it to the current listing. The spread is your deal. So a real-world use case here whenever it comes to Resi. And there's so many different examples here. Last month,
[07:39] we had Target partnering up with Intel. We've seen Venice coming and actually building their models on BitTensor subnets. We've seen different programs get accepted into Nvidia build. We've
[07:51] seen programs get accepted into Salesforce's build program. So, a lot of these subnets are catching real-world traction. So, if you're coming over from Solana, the native token is just a touch of the surface because you can actually get emissions on your holdings by holding these
[08:06] natively. Every single day they pay out emissions to their holders. So, that's very important to note. And if what Tao.com is saying is true, it feels like we might see a broader TAO ecosystem
[08:19] presented to the chain over on Solana. So, I know a lot of people said that this was a little bit of a disappointing announcement or this is really a nothing burger or they're pretty upset also
[08:32] that right now as I see they will be including alpha tokens, but they're saying right now this is basically useless and it goes against the core ethos of using the BitTensor chain. But at the end of the day BitTensor needs more liquidity. There needs to be more people on chain who can come in
[08:50] and buy this. Yes, you can buy it on Coinbase. You can buy it on some big centralized exchanges, but the big question for a lot of people is always, well, what do I do with it from there? How do I open the TAO wallet or a Talisman wallet or whatever the case is? How do I get the money
[09:04] into a subnet? How do I stake the TAO? Whatever the case is, there's so many questions after that first step. So if this is presented on the Solana blockchain and people have ease of access to just buy and then get into subnet tokens, it makes it so easy for a huge pool, right? So TAO
[09:22] is a small ecosystem whenever it comes to broader crypto. When you look at market cap perspectives, from just looking at it through a proper lens, despite how bullish I am on AI crypto, we still
[09:36] have a long growth trajectory ahead of us. And I think that we have so much upside given that the largest AI token in crypto which is BitTensor is valued at $3 billion at a circulating level. But
[09:48] things like Cardano are at 10. We see Doge at 20. We see Tron at 30. Solana is at $50 billion. So really we're just tapping into that capital to be able to have access to the TAO token. I think
[10:01] that provides a lot of growth moving forward. So bullish in my opinion. Let me know your thoughts down below on TAO being tradable on Solana eventually subnets moving over to Solana. I
[10:14] think it's a really interesting play and does add a huge pool of liquidity of possibilities to be able to ape in and be able to buy the TAO token and get involved with the subnet. So guys,
[10:26] the next video. As always, trade responsibly, my friends, and of course, stay bullish, my friends.
