/ Subnet Owners: From Passive Collectors to Startup Founders /

Subnet owners must now actively attract $TAO investment into their ecosystem. 

More $TAO staked in their subnet ➡️ higher emissions ➡️ more mining support ➡️ subnet thrives 

Success will require:
✅Marketing & community engagement - Owners must convince stakers their subnet is worth investing in. Loudly share your successes.
✅Early integrations and revenue generation - The best way to prove PMF? Show that people are willing to pay for your service.
✅Liquidity bootstrapping - Many will stake their own TAO to create early demand and secure further stake in their project. A lot of early buy pressure comes from this.
✅Validator recruitment or self-validation - If validators don’t stake in their subnet, owners may need to start their own validation services. Expect OTC deals with validators to become common for new subnets.

▶️Subnet success now depends on active ecosystem building + marketing rather than just launching + waiting.
