The Capital Layer
for Bittensor
Structured OTC deals for subnet tokens. Subnets can raise capital without selling spot. Fund managers earn based on AUM locked into deals and performance. Investors commit capital to proven fund managers.
Sellers → Managers → Investors
Three roles, one compounding loop. Each benefits with others success, creating durable, self-reinforcing capital flows.
Raise Funds
Set your terms and get structured funding without pushing down spot price or disrupting emissions dynamics.
Compete and Earn
Lock AUM into strong deals, source discounts, manage risk, and earn more capital by delivering realized returns.
Allocate and Benefit
Allocate capital to proven managers once track records emerge and investor programs open.

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.
Incentivizing Long-Term Participation
Bittensor grows on committed, durable contribution. Investors deserve clear terms and real structure, not opaque negotiations.
“The best deals in Bittensor happen when sellers, fund managers, and investors have structure and aligned incentives.”

Fund managers lock capital into deals
