The Capital Layer
for Bittensor
Structured OTC deals for subnet tokens. Subnets raise capital without selling spot. Fund managers earn rewards based on AUM locked into deals. Investors commit capital to proven fund managers.
The informal OTC market
is broken by design.
Subnet owners need the ability to raise capital. Institutional investors want structured exposure to Bittensor. Handshake deals fail both sides every time.
Reducing Market Pressures
Subnets need capital, but spot selling can undermine long-term credibility and introduce instability. Structured deals reduce that feedback loop.
Bringing Structure to Deals
Informal OTC deals introduces trust assumptions, unclear terms, and weak long-term incentives. GroundLayer standardizes the mechanics.

Bittensor grows on committed, durable contribution. Investors deserve clear terms and real structure, not opaque negotiations.
