Built to Scale the Signal.
Our new Provenonce website is live.
We install governed AI capabilities across the business systems teams already use, with defined authority and evidence you can inspect.
Explore Oresund, SN87 and what’s next:

A little SN87 inspiration. Builders, testers, and curious minds welcome.
#bittensor #sn87 #provenonce #participate
🤖 Made with AI
SN87 is live on Bittensor testnet 582. The code is open (MIT). Anyone can run the verifier. provenonce.ai/sn87
We said we'd work in public. SN87 is live on Bittensor testnet, the code is open, and you can verify the chain proof yourself. Come build, mine, or break it.
This is a great read. Thanks for your analysis @TaoDX_Official !
Most people look at price first. I looked at the problem a subnet solves.
SN87 wants to make AI agent work verifiable, with the founder of BitGo behind it.
TaoDX rates its Potential 93/100. Full breakdown in the article 👇
@provenonce_ai
Thank you @gordonfrayne for this engaging conversation on Bittensor, SN87, and @provenonce_ai !
I sat down with @willobrien at @ExploitSummit to hear more about @provenonce_ai and their plans to close the assurance gap in a world of agentic AI!

Au revoir, Montréal. At @ExploitSummit, we presented “The Assurance Gap” and introduced The Assurance Observatory. Whitepaper + First Light: provenonce.ai/sn87
Thanks and congratulations, Bitstarter and Exploit! Heading home with enthusiasm for SN87 and all of Bittensor.
Today at Exploit Summit, I debuted The Assurance Observatory in my keynote, “The Assurance Gap.”
Our vision: turn digital exhaust into institutional memory, so the next execution can inherit what the last one taught us.
Bittensor SN87 @ExploitSummit
Today at @ExploitSummit, Provenonce CEO @willobrien delivered keynote “The Assurance Gap” and debuted The Assurance Observatory from Bittensor SN87.
Our vision: turn digital exhaust into institutional memory, so each execution learns from the last.

Big milestone for Provenonce / SN87 on Bittensor!
SN87 reached First Light on Bittensor’s public testnet, subnet 582.
In one synthetic institutional-continuity pilot, an approval was valid, conditions changed, and work passed to another AI agent. A Provenonce-operated validator graded two Provenonce-operated miners, then set weights at block 8,102,381. We read the applied row back from the chain.
The run included 16 sealed cases and 32 signed responses. Only weights went on chain.
Event Record: provenonce.ai/sn87/testnet/
This is one synthetic testnet cycle, not recurring validation or independent miner participation. Test TAO has no value.
In Montréal for Exploit Summit. My keynote: “The Assurance Gap.” What evidence should we require before relying on AI agents’ work?

Two machine learning teams. One #Bittensor subnet slot. You decide who gets it.
At pitchtensor, hosted by @bitstarterAI, two aspiring teams pitch to @macrocrux, @KeithSingery, @maxsebti, @EvanMalanga + @willobrien - then you choose the winner in a live crowdfund, online + in the room.

Grateful to serve on HubSpot’s 2026 Customer Advisory Board. UNBOUND left me energized by this community and the opportunity ahead for people, agents and businesses. A few reflections from the Provenonce journey: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

Quite a lot is afoot in Bittensor $TAO subnets.
You will want to learn about it *now* -- still in the early days, but *not for much longer*.
Years of steady product creation & market penetration are beginning to pay off. The pot is near boiling.

AI agents can execute tasks. But can they prove they followed the right process?
@willobrien helped build trust infrastructure for crypto as co-founder + early CEO of @BitGo. Now with @provenonce_ai he explores how the evidence, context + decisions agents leave behind can become a verifiable assurance layer - and why #Bittensor is the right place to govern it.

Thrilled to be joining the Bittensor community at Exploit Summit in Montreal with @bitstarterAI and @provenonce_ai !
Before crypto custody was an industry, @willobrien co-founded @BitGo and helped pioneer institutional security and custody for digital assets.
Harvard CS. MIT Sloan MBA. He helped scale @bigfishgames and has been an LP and advisor to @blockchaincap - with a habit of showing up wherever the next frontier hasn’t been built yet.
Today, that frontier is @provenonce_ai - coordination infrastructure for the agentic AI era, so humans and agents can work together with accountability built in.
The founder who builds the floor before everyone else shows up. On the stage that argues back. 👇
I highly recommend considering this event. @bitstarterAI events are top quality. This one seems particularly strong.
Bittensor's next breakout ML team gets funded on stage at @ExploitSummit - and one of the judges could be you.
Every ticket enters you into the draw for a seat on the judging panel. Use BITSTART30 for 30% off and you’re automatically in the running.
