Funding
No disclosed VC funding. Funded through TAO emissions.
Traction
Consumer web app live in beta showing ~95% size reduction for compression. AI upscaling outperforms Topaz on ClipIQA+ benchmark. Market cap ~$3.1M. 2,104 token holders. No fiat/SaaS/API revenue yet - entirely TAO emission economy.
Recent News
- 2026 - Consumer web app beta live with upscaling and compression
- 2026 - Benchmark published showing competitive quality vs. Topaz
- 2026 - Streaming pipeline R&D (auto encoding ladders + storage) in progress
- 2025 - Launched as first video processing subnet on Bittensor
Risk
No fiat revenue yet - entirely TAO emission-funded. $3.1M market cap is very small. Streaming pipeline and paid tiers still in development. Team is small.
