Our story
From participation to operations.
FirstTensor’s journey began in the Bittensor ecosystem in August 2022. In March 2023, community delegation helped us reach the TAO threshold required to launch our validator.
Over the following years, FirstTensor became one of Bittensor’s most active infrastructure operators. We served in the Bittensor Senate, reached the top five validators, contributed to governance, and operated up to 64 subnet workloads simultaneously, each with distinct software and hardware requirements.
Today, FirstTensor participates across all 128 Bittensor subnets through the child-delegation program. This experience shaped a broader operating model focused on reliable infrastructure, continuous monitoring, and long-term ecosystem participation.
In July 2026, we expanded beyond a single ecosystem by launching a GenesisL1 validator and a public Archive RPC node.
GenesisL1 became the first network in our multi-network decentralized AI strategy.
We continue to evaluate emerging networks where technical participation, dependable infrastructure, and long-term support can create meaningful value.
