// Coming Soon
The next era of our subnets
Two upgrades. One trajectory: the most valuable subnets imaginable.
The incubation era built real foundations — genuine quantum compute on SN48, serious prize pools on SN63. This is the next evolution: open, verified mining; bounded, disciplined prizes; new challenges; and published research — deep value for every hard-earned alpha minted. Deep tech, delivered.

// SO WHAT IS CHANGING?
What got us here won’t get us there.
Everything above is the incubation era paying off — and exactly why we won’t stand still. The subnets that proved the model now have to outgrow it: keep evolving, keep compounding, keep raising the bar. Here’s what that evolution looks like.
// SN48: Quantum Compute
Coming SoonQuantum mining is going open.
SN48 alpha is the first coin that can only be mined with a QPU — but you won’t need to own one. Until now, mining meant being part of a small set of operators. That changes: anyone will be able to register and mine, no gatekeepers, and unlike version one, no quantum hardware required — our miner code provides verifiable access to quantum compute, suitable for mining SN48.
Every job is verified through Open Quantum, so rewards are earned only for genuine quantum execution on real hardware — and emission is distributed in real time, based on who actually performs the work. An open, verified quantum-compute marketplace: the first of its kind.
And an open miner ecosystem is a foundation to build on. We’re looking forward to what it unlocks next: bringing simulation into the fold, and tapping into the decentralized compute that a thriving miner ecosystem brings with it.
Miners
Unlike version one, you don't need quantum hardware — all mining runs through Open Quantum, and our miner code provides verifiable access to quantum compute. The bar to mine SN48 has never been lower.
Validators
Every job is checked against real execution. What you validate is provably real quantum compute.
Community
Open participation brings real price discovery, and an open ecosystem delivers transparency that version one couldn't — proof that every reward maps to real work.
// SN63: Enigma
Coming SoonMore challenges. Bigger bounties. More frequent payouts.
Enigma’s prize economics are getting an upgrade: every challenge will carry its own bounded prize pool, with disciplined, transparent economics. Pools grow to fund serious bounties — and anything beyond a pool’s cap is burned, keeping emission proportional to prizes actually paid.
That discipline is a growth engine: it pushes the subnet toward larger prizes, higher-value targets, and a broader portfolio of challenges running in parallel. Best of all, it puts us back to work on the roadmap — exciting new challenges (think Breaking BTC, Breaking PQC, and even more practical arenas for near-term value), an expanding portfolio, and a white paper that puts the value being created on SN63: Enigma in front of the right eyes. Every alpha generates real IP — IP that earns attention, publications, and ultimately licensing revenue. Growth comes from solving hard problems and paying real winners — not from letting any single pool balloon.
Solvers
More challenges open at once, with headline prizes that mean it — paid out more frequently.
Validators
Emission you can audit against real payouts. Bounded pools make the economics legible on-chain.
Community
Tokenomics that work: we don't just dump alpha on a miner who isn't earning it. We accumulate it for the real breakthroughs — ensuring every token goes to one.
We build in the open.
We have built a reputation for saying what we are doing — and delivering on what we say. That’s why we want your input. You — the miners, validators, and investors — are partners in both of these upgrades: read the full account of what’s changing and why, and if you think we have something wrong, tell us. That’s how this gets better.
And to everyone who sees the vision and is with us as we drive the future of Bittensor — thank you.
