This is a great article! Only correction is that Bittensor is *not* a polkadot parachain, it is a standalone L1 blockchain running using the Polkadot Substrate SDK.

much appreciated!

and that's interesting, aren't all parachains technically standalone L1s running substrate?

looks like bittensor won parachain auction #36 no?

Yes, but Bittensor decided it was too early to launch as a parachain (yet?) and even though they are keeping their Kusama and Polkadot slots, they are continuing as standalone project for the foreseeable future

Great article, never seen such an in-depth and understandable explanation of Bittensor
