The $6B Decentralized AI Network, with Yuma CRO Evan Malanga
Q: How did one become a validator in the first place and is Yuma a validator?

Bittensor is a decentralized, open-source protocol described as the World Wide Web of Intelligence, where market participants compete across AI-related use cases to build valuable AI outputs. Yuma serves as an accelerator and asset-management arm to simplify entry for subnet teams, provide capital, and connect researchers with miners and validators to grow the ecosystem.
