𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫 $TAO 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝟕𝟓 𝐇𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐮𝐬 After the recent Reveneu Search, Hippius is emerging as one of the most exciting subnets in the Bittensor ecosystem. With disruptive economics and a strong value accrual design, Hippius has the potential to redefine decentralized storage. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 At its core, Hippius is a decentralized storage network competing directly with the giants, Google Cloud, AWS, and Dropbox. The difference? Cost. Hippius is between 400x and 4000x cheaper than existing providers. This level of disruption makes decentralized storage not only philosophically appealing, but economically way more interesting. Beyond pricing, Hippius has added features that make storage tangible and user-friendly: 🔸Hipstats allows users to track where their files are stored, similar to a DHL tracking number. 🔸A safety encryption option gives users full control of their keys, ensuring files are as secure and private as crypto wallets themselves. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 & 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Decentralized storage requires trust, and Hippius addresses this by running its own blockchain within the Bittensor network. This secondary chain provides verifiable accountability for every storage action: 🔸Where files are stored. 🔸Who secures them. 🔸Which miners are responsible. The result is a transparent and auditable system, something centralized competitors can’t match. 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 & 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐥 Where Hippius really stands out is in its tokenomics. The subnet introduces hAlpha, a native token that is fully 1:1 convertible to Alpha. Holding hAlpha earns both APY and dividends. Miners must lock Alpha in order to mine and provide storage and product revenue (storage credits) is also converted into Alpha and locked. The staking benefits of this locked Alpha are distributed as dividends to hAlpha holders.
