Bittensor Subnet 45 (Talisman AI) is essentially the “eyes and ears” of Talisman’s AI wallet. In Bittensor terms, each subnet is a competitive AI task network; SN45 specializes in crypto-market signal mining. SN45 continuously scrapes real-time data (initially social media like Twitter/X, with plans to add on-chain and market feeds) and uses an LLM to score each item for relevance and sentiment. Validator nodes then independently re-run the same analysis to ensure quality – any batch with inconsistent scores is rejected. High-quality signals are batched via a coordination API and fed into Talisman’s in-wallet AI agent. The wallet’s AI agent then reasons over these inputs and recommends or even executes trading/staking actions on behalf of the user.
In short, SN45 converts live crypto-world signals into actionable insights. As one analysis notes, Subnet 45 is “the brain of the AI agents” in the wallet, supplying the compute and incentives that let Talisman’s DeFi-AI layer automatically monitor assets and suggest optimal strategies.

Subnet Roles (Miner & Validator): SN45 is built as a standard Bittensor subnet (Python-based) with separate miner and validator nodes. Miner nodes continuously scrape crypto-related content (starting with Twitter/X) and run it through an LLM model (e.g. DeepSeek or Qwen) to assign each post a relevance score (0.0–1.0) and sentiment score (–1.0 to +1.0). They compute a quality metric (50% relevance + 40% value + 10% recency) for each post and submit batches of top posts to the subnet’s API server. Validator nodes then independently repeat the same analysis on each submitted post. If any post’s score differs beyond a tight tolerance (±0.05 for relevance/sentiment), the entire batch is marked INVALID and discarded. Only unanimously validated posts are accepted and passed downstream.
Coordination API: A central coordination/API server (e.g. at talisman.rizzo.network) batches incoming miner submissions, aggregates validator votes, and outputs consensus results. This API handles the Bittensor consensus “weights” on-chain and feeds the final signal data into the next layer. Key configuration variables (in .miner_env and .vali_env) include the LLM endpoint, Twitter API tokens, and the MINER_API_URL (set to https://talisman.rizzo.network/api). This means the entire data pipeline runs off-chain via a RESTful service, with miners/validators communicating through the API and Bittensor’s on-chain logic simply distributing $TAO$ rewards based on the submitted/validated signals.
Sentiment Scoring & Pipeline: In phase 1 (current), miners pull on the order of 5–20 new posts every few minutes and score them using the chosen LLM. Each post’s quality is weighted by its relevance, value, and recency (see formula). Validators check each post’s sentiment and relevance (allowing only ±0.05 deviation) and also guard against score inflation or other anomalies. Approved batches are then forwarded to the Talisman AI agent (implemented inside the wallet). Future phases will expand beyond social data: Phase 2 is planned to ingest on-chain activity and market data (token flows, price shifts, etc.), and Phase 3 will output personalized staking/trading suggestions back into the wallet UI.
Tools & Infrastructure: The codebase (see Team-Rizzo/talisman-ai on GitHub) is organized into miner.py and validator.py entry points with analyzer modules for AI logic. The build uses Python and standard libraries (the LLM is called via an API key). Infrastructure-wise, Team Rizzo has set up the coordination API and runs the validator/miner nodes on cloud servers (they mention AWS skills). The wallet side is the Talisman browser extension (open-source on GitHub) that connects to the subnet via the Talisman Agent Decision Engine. Execution paths flow from confirmed signals → agent processing → smart contract actions (swaps, stakes, etc.) on supported chains. Although not public yet, the team envisions integrating smart-contract interactions (e.g. Uniswap/Pangolin swaps, limit orders, staking Dapps) so that when a strategy is triggered, the wallet can automatically execute on-chain. They also plan novel UI features: according to the team, users will eventually set voice/dictation trading triggers (e.g. “buy ETH DCA at $X”, take-profit/stop-loss rules, or act on on-chain events) with appropriate security checks. In summary, the “build” is a multi-component pipeline: Twitter/X scraper → LLM scorer → coordination API → validator check → wallet agent. All components are documented in the repo and configurable via provided env templates.

Team Rizzo: Rizzo Network is the developer collective behind SN45. It is led by co-founders Frank Rizzo (frankrizz07, CEO) and RogueTensor (roguetensor, CTO). According to the Rizzo Network site, the team “leads in Agentic AI and SWE (software engineering) automation” within Bittensor. As of early 2025 they describe ~13 core members: 6 developers/engineers, 3 validator operators, 2 operations leads, and 2 communications specialists. (Their publicly shown roster includes people like “canti_dev” – a veteran AI engineer, “vectorforge” – a data scientist focusing on SN20, etc..) Team Rizzo maintains a GitHub org (Team-Rizzo) and has open-source repos (e.g. the talisman-ai code). They also run a full-node validator for SN45 and provide Bittensor staking coverage to the community. In short, Team Rizzo brings deep Bittensor and AI expertise; their members have run subnets like SN20 (AI agents) and now the SN45 project.
Talisman Wallet Team: Talisman is an existing multi-chain wallet project. It is co-led by Zerobit (CEO) and Will Deeb (COO), and backed by strategic investors like DNA Fund (the Tether co-founders). The wallet already has ~155k users and supports over 900 chains. Its team includes veteran Web3 developers (the Talisman browser extension is open-source on GitHub) and DeFi experts. The wallet’s own dev roadmap (released in late 2025) shows a track record of delivering multi-chain portfolio features and next steps toward AI automation.
Collaboration: The SN45 project is a partnership between Team Rizzo and the Talisman wallet team. Team Rizzo engineers built and maintain the subnet and AI backend, while Talisman integrates its output into the wallet UX. Industry commentary confirms this joint effort: for example, analysts note “Talisman is collaborating with Team Rizzo to build the SN45 subnet” and that SN45 will align rewards with the wallet’s AI strategies. In practice, Team Rizzo contributes the compute infrastructure, AI models, and Bittensor expertise, whereas Talisman provides product direction, userbase, and in-wallet agent integration. Both sides publicly communicate via Twitter (Talisman @wearetalisman, Team Rizzo @TeamRizzoAI) and community channels, emphasizing a shared mission to make Talisman the first “intelligent” AI-powered Web3 wallet.

The development of SN45/Talisman AI is multi-phased. SN45 Phases: Phase 1 (launched Aug 2024) focuses on social signal mining. Current development is refining the X/Twitter scraper, LLM scoring, and wallet integration. Phase 2 will add on-chain and market feeds: the system will ingest blockchain transaction data, price movements, tokenomics signals, etc., to capture “real on-chain money flows”. Phase 3 will push the analyzed insights into actionable wallet suggestions (personalized trade/stake recommendations). In parallel, the team is expanding the LLM models and context (recent commits mention upgrading LLMs like Qwen and adding context for different subnets).
Talisman Wallet Phases: Talisman’s own published roadmap (via press) outlines three wallet phases:
Talisman also plans a new native token SEEK to coordinate these agents. In fact, the SEEK token launch is set for December 1–3, 2025 on ChainGPT. These tokens (and associated NFT passes) will fuel the ecosystem.
Future Features: Beyond the documented phases, the team has discussed several advanced features. These include voice-command trading (allowing users to set DCA, limit/TP/SL orders via speech), copy-trading or strategy mirroring (following successful AI-driven strategies), and a public API of signals/insights for developers. A community governance module is planned around the SEEK token (so users can vote on upgrades). On the tokenomics side, the subnet and wallet are designed as a closed-loop: for example, a portion of trading fees or rewards may be used to buy back SN45’s alpha tokens or fund TAO coverage, aligning incentives between users and the network. In summary, the roadmap envisions an expanding AI-driven wallet: improved AI models, deeper multi-chain data feeds, voice and automation interfaces, and a token-governed ecosystem all rolling out through 2026.

Novelty Search is great, but for most investors trying to understand Bittensor, the technical depth is a wall, not a bridge. If we’re going to attract investment into this ecosystem then we need more people to understand it! That’s why Siam Kidd and Mark Creaser from DSV Fund have launched Revenue Search, where they ask the simple questions that investors want to know the answers to.
A lively Revenue Search with guest Greg “Rizzo” unveiling two big threads: first, Subnet 45’s partnership with Talisman to turn its crypto wallet into an AI-augmented “smart” wallet—miners pull sentiment/relevance signals (e.g., via Subnet 64 and Data Universe), users set voice/dictation trading triggers (DCA, limit/TP/SL, on-chain events), with security handled via smart contracts and ledger/iOS support; revenue flows from tool usage and a share of Talisman trading fees earmarked for buy-and-burn. Second, Rizzo + DNA are forming a community-driven, NASDAQ-listed Digital Asset Treasury (target size ~$300M): subnet owners can contribute ALPHA for locked 3–5 year treasury holdings and receive equity, easing sell-pressure; an “Avengers” advisory group of OGs will guide treasury deployment while validator ops and Subnets 20/45 serve as revenue-generating businesses. The session closes with Q&A on copy trading, detailed on-chain metrics/triggers, onboarding newer subnets, and candid takes on TAOFlow’s implications for research subnets.
