Founders of Metanova, the drug-discovery project behind Bittensor subnet SN68, toured Ginkgo Bioworks' robotics facility in Boston — billed as the world's largest automation lab.
The project's architecture: miners screen molecules, validators check the results, and the long-term goal is wiring robotic labs into the loop to physically test top candidates — a "lab-in-the-loop" discovery pipeline combining crypto incentives ($TAO) with automated wet-lab experiments.
