Bittensor co-founder Const has addressed allegations from Covenant AI regarding subnet emissions and token sales. In a Twitter statement, Const clarified that he lacks the authority to halt emissions and that his recent sale of alpha positions in three inactive subnets was due to their high burn rate. He emphasized that these transactions were akin to regular TAO holder activities and did not involve any special privileges. Const also responded to claims about administrative permissions, explaining that he did not remove Samuel's admin role on Discord but temporarily restricted his ability to delete critical posts. He noted that the token sales accounted for less than 1% of his total investment in the team, underscoring the importance of token trading rights within the dTao system. This response follows Covenant AI's announcement of its departure from Bittensor, citing concerns over centralized control contrary to initial promises.
