what's Proprietary Trading Network?
Proprietary Trading Network (PTN) is Subnet 8 on the Bittensor network, a decentralized platform enabling proprietary trading strategies in crypto markets. It leverages Bittensor's infrastructure for collaborative AI-driven trading models, where validators and miners contribute to trading signals, algorithms, and execution within a subnet-specific economy powered by the SN8 token. Participants stake TAO to run miners or validators on the subnet, competing to produce optimal trading outputs evaluated by on-chain metrics. This creates a permissionless marketplace for high-frequency and algorithmic trading tools, integrating with Bittensor's broader machine intelligence network for scalable, incentivized prop trading.
Proprietary Trading Network's new roadmap adds equities trading, limit orders, and entity-based miners.
Burned approximately 13,000 ALPHA tokens in revenue at an average price of around $10 since mid-November 2025.
The chain buys 150t+ tokens daily, and 67% APY yield is available. The token is up 24% against TAO in the past month with deepening liquidity.
Team owns 30%+ of supply without selling and will lock all holdings through multi-year OTC deals to build cash treasury, deploying funds to Glitch models with profits used for alpha buybacks.
Partnership with prop firm VantaTrading for go-to-market within the next 60 days.
All slashed collateral collected will be burned, currently amounting to 5,361 alpha, not including profits from the initial treasury for November.
Taoshi launches its own prop firm within 1 month to compete with traditional firms like Breakout and FTMO, committing all revenue to SN8 buyback and burn for the next 6 months. The roadmap includes entity-based miners allowing anyone to spin up prop firms with margins of $400-800 per user.
New roadmap update reveals plans to add equities trading, limit orders, and entity based miners to the platform.
Starting November 1st, miner payouts shift to profits-only with remaining emissions recycled or burned, and OTC deals with multi-year lockups are in progress to fund top miner copy trading. The project introduces a sub-account system enabling miners to operate as prop firms with multiple traders at lower capacities ($25k-$100k) under typical challenge rules.
Taoshi commits to directing all alpha profits towards ecosystem participants including miners, partners, and SN8, rather than retaining alpha for itself.
Miner payouts scheduled for early November based on simulated PTN profits, with over $1M already deployed in live copy trading operations. Glitch expands to US markets via RIA registration, and InfiniteQuant ramps marketing efforts in the next month.
