$TAO Crashes 18% - Covenant AI Exits, Founder Dumps $10M



Bittensor's Biggest Subnet Operator just Walked Out, And the Founder Dumped his Entire Bag on the way out.

What happened:
Covenant AI (builders of SN3, SN39, SN81 and the Covenant-72B model) officially exited Bittensor today.

Founder Sam Dare called the governance "decentralization theatre" and accused founder Jacob Steeves of:

→ Suspending Subnet Emissions
→ Stripping Community Moderation Rights
→ Deprecating Subnets Top-Down
→ Running a 1-Person "Governance Committee"

The red flag 🚩
Right After his Exit Letter, Dare Sold All 37,000 TAO (~$10M). Community is Calling it A Rugpull.

Price impact:
🔻 TAO: $351 → $263 (-29% in 48H)
🔻 TAO: $341 → $263 (-27% in 24H)
🔻 Futures OI Tanking Across Major Exchanges

Takeaway: TAO's 90% March Rally was Driven by ONE Subnet. Now that Same Subnet is Pulling it Down. Always Question "Decentralization" Claims, Check Governance, token Distribution, And Who Controls Upgrades.
TAO-19,13%
