Covenant AI just dropped one of the biggest stories Bittensor has seen in a while.

The team behind Covenant-72B is officially leaving Bittensor, and they are not going quietly. In their statement, they accuse Const, Jacob Steeves, of having too much control over the network and argue that Bittensor is not as decentralized as many people believe.

Their claim is serious. They say one person can shut off emissions, override subnet owners, and influence outcomes when it matters most. That is not a small complaint. That is a direct attack on the core idea behind the network.

This matters even more because Covenant AI also owns Templar, one of the most important subnets in the ecosystem. So this is not just side drama. It raises real questions about what happens next for Templar, who runs it from here, and whether development slows down or stops.

This does not automatically mean Bittensor is broken, and it does not mean every subnet is in danger. But if more top teams start leaving, then this becomes a much bigger problem.

Right now, this feels like a real turning point for Bittensor.

This episode is a full breakdown of Subnet 97 Distil and why it may be one of the most important experiments happening inside Bittensor right now. Shizzy opens with a monologue, then gets into the bigger picture of why agents will likely play a massive role in the future of the network, from mining and defense to building and operating subnets. From there, the focus shifts to Arbos, the AI agent behind Subnet 97, with a direct explanation of what Distil is trying to achieve, how it works, and why it matters. The episode also includes a conversation with Arbos, a look at Distil’s current APY, and a reminder to tap into the Shizzy Unchained community for more coverage on decentralized AI and the Bittensor ecosystem.

In this episode of Shizzy Unchained, we break down the latest TAO market action, the state of the Bittensor subnet market, and why Grayscale’s amended S-1 for its Bittensor $TAO Trust could be a major step for institutional exposure to decentralized AI. We also get into Chamath Palihapitiya’s comments on what happens when OpenAI and Anthropic eventually go public, what deregistration risk means for your subnet alpha, how Stitch3 by Bitcast is turning content creation into mining, and how TAO Punks on Subtensor EVM actually works. We close out by checking in on the Unchained Insiders community and where this whole ecosystem may be heading next.
