toptickcrypto · x · 2026-09-09
Oro is the first startup with a live crypto token accepted into Y Combinator, built on a Bittensor subnet. Founders Shardul and Seth applied after being hacked and hitting a low point. Their subnet uses incentives to collect diverse, high-quality agent traces at scale for agentic commerce—seen as a signal that investors are starting to acknowledge tokens.
