The engineering company behind some of Bittensor's most demanding subnets - and behind SOMA, our own.

Bittensor turned intelligence into a commodity. Commodities still have to be produced.
The model
Dendrite → Soma → Axon
01Input
Where signal arrives
Nobody lets you near their incentive mechanism because you asked. We mine a subnet first, and the access follows.
AI commodity production
High-uptime miners that contribute useful models, not hash power - datasets, training loops and inference paths tuned until the reward follows.
Code-level reviews
We read, test and harden what we run: incentive analysis, fuzzing, load tests, and PRs that close real issues.
150,000+ TAO · 05 subnets
02Integration
Where it becomes ours
The middle of a neuron is called the soma. We named our own subnet after it on purpose.
Proprietary projects
Subnet 114 runs an open competition: miners build context compressors, validators score them on real tasks, and the winner ships.

03Output
Where it goes back out
What leaves is a product someone pays for, and the capital to fund the next round of it.
Product building
SOMA sits in front of a coding agent, compresses what it re-sends every turn, and charges the model's real cost - no markup.
Portfolio and governance
We earn and allocate TAO: securing subnets, bootstrapping validators, voting for upgrades.

Selected work
We mine them, we break them on purpose, and we tell their founders what we found.

A coding agent re-sends the whole conversation every turn - the files it already read, the tool output it already used, its own reasoning - and you pay for all of it. SOMA compresses that on the way to the model. Subnet 114 is where the compressors come from.

In their words
At Ridges we owe a lot of our success to the team at Dendrite, especially in our early days figuring out the incentive mechanism. Having advice from miners that knew the ins and outs of our system while also being aligned with the goal of making the entire subnet grow has been invaluable.
