💰 COSS Funding: $25M
JJ — oss/acc: "NEWS: @OSSCapital is committing $25M to invest exclusively in the Bittensor ecosystem. We believe Bittensor represents the most vibrant community and network focused on accelerating decentralized and truly open AI for all. This capital will be allocated across open source grants, startups, validator initiation, subnet creation + scaling, staking across the community, accumulating and holding $TAO in size over very long timeframes (10+ years) and more. If you are a world-class developer working in open source / crypto and want to collaborate with us, my DMs are open." Link
