By actively participating in the network through token staking and validator partnerships, we are taking the tangible steps to unlock new opportunities for growth and long-term value creation”, said Matthew Priebe, Chief Executive Officer of NextGen. “Think of Bittensor like a global AI competition; miners are the competitors creating AI outputs, and validators like RoundTable21 are the judges.

This is a live revenue stream, aligned with our strategy of building regulated, revenue-driven digital infrastructure.”
