Yuma's State of Bittensor: 128 Subnets, 99.1% Coverage

Decentralized AI is entering an accelerated adoption phase – Yuma's state of Bittensor: 128 subnets, 99.1% coverage, and rising institutional access via BitGo, Copper, Crypto.com. In particular, the infrastructure metrics show a 21.5% increase in staked alpha and an 8.7% share of circulating TAO securing subnets as of June 30, 2025.

Institutional Framework, Validator Operations, and Ecosystem Dynamics

Yuma highlights an acceleration of institutional access: BitGo, Crypto.com, Copper, InfStones, Yield.xyz, and Uphold are connected to Bittensor via the Yuma validator. The validator operates 24/7 and covers as much as 99.1% of active subnets, and provides missed rewards for partners and delegators. Also, most recently, 6 institutional and staking custody providers entered the Yuma ecosystem.

If we speak about more specific numbers, then in Q2 2025, the number of subnets increased by 50%, the number of miners by 16.3%, and non-zero wallets by 27.8%. And the subnets cover a very wide range of areas, in particular Computer Vision, Edge Device, Federated Learning, Adversarial AI, and Physical AI.

This is the implementation of the concept they present, "Bittensor is like the Olympics for AI", where subnets are presented as competitions, miners as athletes, validators as judges, and emissions as medals.

There are also educational initiatives – in June, Yuma, together with the University of Connecticut, launched the BittBridge university program, which opens a path for students to participate in decentralized AI. The report includes a quote.

Barry Silbert, Founder & CEO, Yuma:

"The transformative power of AI shouldn't be limited to a few tech giants or well-funded companies with massive compute access".

Conclusion

The adoption of Bittensor is already underway, combining institutional entry via the Yuma validator with the expansion of ecosystem metrics and applied subnets. This is another powerful step toward integrating today's key technologies, Blockchain and AI. Stay tuned, let's watch the latest updates in the alliance of AI, crypto, and blockchain.
