Totally agree with this, i just connected mine to Bittensor $TAO subnet 22 @desearch_ai with an API end point for X data to help me with subnet analysis and the results are getting where they should be. This could be used by anyone in crypto doing reporting and research and is an incredible opportunity based on pricing.

SN22 is becoming an intelligence layer for agents. And behind agents… come predictions, then portfolio management. Revenue + aligned incentives. The market probably hasn't fully priced this yet.

The forecasting environments just got richer. Starting this Thursday, miners can choose to take on the cost of news retrieval via @desearch_ai The cost limit will move from $0.02 to $0.1 - making our environments ready for heavy forecasting tasks. #SN6 #TAO

// Desearch integration complete crustty now has full social sentiment guidance and its integrated (weighted) in his subnet valuations. All thanks to Bittensor SN22 @desearch_ai Desearch vs. native X API below. I gave him both and asked to research @HermesSubnet, no bias.
