Exploit Summit @ExploitSummit

New to #Bittensor? Start here. In exactly one week, Exploit opens with Bittensor 101, led by @TAOTemplar + @mcjkula of @learnbittensor - a high-level map of how the network works, where subnets fit + how to navigate the ecosystem. Get the foundations in place before two days of big conversations. 📅 Monday 28 September · 9–9:45am Register here → luma.com/nqy2n5zi (free to Exploit guests)

🔉 Exploit Summit 2026 is one week away. We’re proud to announce @SubnetSummerTAO as a livestream partner for @ExploitSummit . We’ll be streaming the event live from the Subnet Summer X account, covering talks, debates, workshops, and live demos from New City Gas in Montréal. We’ll also be on the ground hosting 2 podcasts at the event, bringing builders, subnet teams, and operators into the conversation as it happens. Whether you’re in Montréal or watching from anywhere in the world, turn on notifications and stay with us for live coverage and exclusive conversations. Break it down. Build it better. See you at Exploit.

The cloud asks you to trust whoever owns the machine. KubeTEE is built so you don’t have to. At Exploit, @pamanseau of @KubeTEEAI shows how confidential Kubernetes can run AI across decentralized GPU clusters while keeping models + data hidden - even from the host: luma.com/exploitsummit26

. @TAOTemplar has spent years making Bittensor easier to understand - from mining + dTAO to subnet mechanics. A software developer with 15 years’ experience, he built TAOFlute and one of the ecosystem’s best-known education channels. At Exploit, he’ll lead our Bittensor 101 session: luma.com/exploitsummit26

Robotics is moving from demos to an investable, competitive AI frontier. @haitzu maps where the field stands now at Exploit - from data + training to physical deployment - before formally unveiling a new Bittensor robotics subnet being built by Pylon Partners. Don't miss it: luma.com/exploitsummit26

Maciej Kula ( @mcjkula ) couldn't find a clear way to learn #Bittensor from scratch, so he built the resource he wished existed. @learnbittensor is now part of @latentholdings, where Maciej leads education and makes Bittensor easier to understand. He'll be leading our Bittensor 101 session to kick off Day 1: luma.com/nqy2n5zi

. @Gylez has spent the last few years building the infrastructure around #Bittensor’s next phase of adoption. As co-founder of @taodotcom, he’s helped grow a 30+ person team, build one of Bittensor’s largest validators and launch trading + wallet infrastructure across mobile and browser. He joins Exploit to discuss where the protocol goes from here... luma.com/exploitsummit26

Kelly Woodward knows how to turn ambitious ideas into organizations that actually execute. Before becoming Chief of Staff at @CrucibleLabs, she held the same role at @Shutterfly after years across consumer tech. Now she helps drive one of Bittensor’s most research-led teams. Fittingly, she'll be moderating our panel on what it takes to be enterprise-ready... luma.com/exploitsummit26

. @hunter_tensor has been in crypto since 2017 and building on #Bittensor since 2022. As Co-Founder & COO of @DendriteHQ, he helps run one of the network’s most experienced mining and subnet teams - turning years of ecosystem knowledge into company built to scale. Tune in to his Bittensor Mining 101 session at Exploit: luma.com/1kfeefnr

Bittensor has a security model most users barely think about: coldkeys, hotkeys, validator machines + increasingly complex signing flows. At Exploit, @KibibyteMe of @LatentHoldings gets practical on where those setups break - and how to secure them properly before they do: luma.com/exploitsummit26

. @hux_dendrite works across LLM training, agents + production AI. He’s mined across 15 #Bittensor subnets and co-authored Teutonic-I 10B, built through SN3’s 70-day decentralized training competition with 2,163 model duels and 203 successful improvements. Now he’s leading our Bittensor Mining 101 session at Exploit: luma.com/1kfeefnr

Agentic AI gets much more interesting when agents stop operating in text boxes - and start understanding worlds. On our stage, @6329 of @404gen_ will explore how world models can give agents persistent environments to reason, learn, plan + act inside. Only at Exploit: luma.com/exploitsummit26

. @GSchvey knows what it takes to turn emerging infrastructure into something institutions actually use. He co-founded TradeBlock, later acquired by @DCGco, then Axoni, whose post-trade business was acquired by @LSEGplc. Now COO of @YumaGroup, he’s helping scale Bittensor across validators, mining, subnet acceleration + institutional adoption. Catch him on the Exploit stage: luma.com/exploitsummit26

Join @affine_io to keep the conversations going after the summit ends at their private Exploit dinner: luma.com/0e79r8zp

Book your seat at @TargonCompute's Exploit dinner: luma.com/gn7h9frf

The conversation doesn’t end at the conference 🍽️ Announcing two private side event dinners free for Exploit guests: 28 Sept · Day 1 before the Exploit party with @TargonCompute 29 Sept · To close out the conference with @affine_io Just 30 guests each. Request your seat below 👇

. @quack_builder has spent years enabling builders to actually build. After studying CS + Media Arts at UChicago, Cameron Wang co-founded @HackQuest_, helping run 100+ hackathons + 1000 developer events Now he’s a core contributor to @openroboto, building open-source intelligence for robots. Catch him at Exploit: luma.com/exploitsummit26

You can build the best subnet in Bittensor and still lose if nobody knows it exists. At Exploit, @sebyrubino makes the case that distribution is as critical as product: positioning, storytelling + getting your work in front of the people who can use it, back it and grow it. Building is only half the job. Catch it at Exploit: luma.com/exploitsummit26

We’re announcing the winners of our 10 TAO Game Jam Competition live at @ExploitSummit in Montreal. Winning games, along with select games built by the 404 team, will be playable live at the conference. With founders, builders, and AI teams from across the ecosystem in one place, this is the perfect stage to showcase what 404-powered game generation can do. Agentic gaming is coming to Exploit Summit. Date: September 28-29th.

What makes an autonomous agent worth trusting - without making it predictable enough to become indistinguishable from everything else? At Exploit, @PhilBeaudoin of Stealth Lab explores why sovereignty, distinctiveness + autonomy may be essential to building agent networks that can collaborate without collapsing into sameness: luma.com/exploitsummit26
