The response
Provenonce · July 9, 2026

Chris [removed for the public archive] and the Bitstarter community - thank you.

I’m grateful for the welcome, and even more grateful for the seriousness of the work ahead.

SN87 is the right arena for Proof of Assurance because the Bittensor community understands something most markets are only beginning to see: useful work needs verification, incentives, and discipline.

We’re here to build with you, learn from the protocol-native builders, and make the work visible as we go.

Work becomes evidence. Evidence becomes assurance.

Let’s build SN87.

Will O'Brien
Founder & CEO, Provenonce
What SN87 is

An agentic marketplace for verified execution.

SN87 is a Bittensor subnet named Proof of Assurance. Its purpose: incentivising the verified execution of structured agentic workflows, and the orchestrated pipelines built on them.

Miners develop agents that compete to execute structured workflows. Validators score the results against rules that are specified in advance. Verified work becomes labeled, auditable evidence.

A public-safe explanation. The full technical schema follows ratification.

Why Proof of Assurance

AI capability has scaled. Its coordination hasn’t.

Useful work needs verification, incentives, and discipline.

Enterprises already know AI can produce the right answers. What they cannot yet trust is whether agentic work is coordinated, governed, and verifiable. SN87 exists to make that trust demonstrable — not claimed.

The bridge
SN87

SN87 is the bridge between corporate and protocol.

Enterprises have work that must be done right. Bittensor has a network built to verify work without taking anyone’s word for it. SN87 connects the two.

Corporate
The enterprise world.
Workflows that must be done right
Siloed, centralised data and records
Trust often stops at the company wall
Work
SN87
Assurance
Protocol
The Bittensor network.
Miners execute, validators verify
Trustless, verified records
Verification that scales

SN87 is designed so eligible structured workflows can cross the bridge to be executed, verified, and returned as assurance artifacts. What comes back is assurance: evidence that the work was done, and done right.

The origin chapter

From Proof of Talk to SN87.

The path to Subnet 87 began on a stage at Proof of Talk and continued through Bitstarter’s community process. That chapter — the pitch, the follow-up, the crowdfund — is archived in full.
