In a significant development in the realm of cybersecurity, Innerworks and Bittensor have announced their partnership to launch RedTeam, a decentralized platform that leverages blockchain technology to enhance online security. This innovative initiative aims to reward ethical hackers for identifying vulnerabilities, transforming their findings into robust defenses against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. With an alarming increase in cybercrime, where hackers stole $2.2 billion in cryptocurrencies in 2024 alone, the need for such a platform has never been more critical.

RedTeam combines the expertise of Innerworks in bot detection with Bittensor’s blockchain-based machine learning capabilities. The platform introduces a decentralized model that incentivizes white-hat hackers with TAO, Bittensor’s native cryptocurrency, for their contributions. These contributions are then integrated into an open-source library, allowing security models to adapt to new threats, including bots that mimic human behavior. The operational structure of RedTeam includes interconnected roles such as miners, validators, and subnet owners, each receiving TAO based on their effectiveness in addressing security challenges.

The launch of RedTeam comes at a time when cybercriminal activities are on the rise, particularly in the cryptocurrency sector. According to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, there were 303 hacking incidents in 2024, marking a 21% increase from the previous year. Centralized platforms have also become prime targets, with notable thefts including $305 million from DMM Bitcoin and $234.9 million from WazirX. As Innerworks founder Oli Q stated, RedTeam aims to harness the collective intelligence of ethical hackers to create market-leading cybersecurity tools that can be rapidly adopted in real-world applications.

Weaver Labs Updates Roadmap for Adeno Token in 2025
In the rapidly evolving telecommunications sector, innovation often faces significant hurdles. Despite the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize network infrastructure, many decentralized projects, such as Helium and XNET, have had to pivot from ambitious plans involving 5G deployment to more traditional solutions like Wi-Fi. These shifts highlight the industry's resistance to change and the challenges of integrating new technologies into existing frameworks. As companies like Nova Labs' Helium network adapt to user experience and implementation difficulties, the need for a pragmatic approach becomes clear, especially for startups like Weaver Labs, which is focused on creating an open marketplace for telecom infrastructure through its Adeno Token. Weaver Labs recognizes the slow pace of change within the telecom industry, particularly regarding shared infrastructure and open networks. The company's updated roadmap for 2025 emphasizes practical steps that align with current market realities while maintaining a long-term vision. Unlike many DePIN projects that struggle with product-market fit, Adeno aims to empower existing telecom networks rather than disrupt them. By integrating with current infrastructure through its Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model, Adeno seeks to create a sustainable ecosystem where token use is driven by real-world demand rather than speculation. Looking ahead, Weaver Labs plans to list the Adeno Token on centralized exchanges in 2025, focusing on private telecommunications networks and testing new use cases that leverage blockchain technology. Collaborations with partners like Streamr and Liquid aim to enhance data transmission and infrastructure sharing, particularly in underserved regions. By prioritizing partnerships and practical applications, Weaver Labs is positioning itself to navigate the complexities of the telecom landscape while fostering a community that supports the future of decentralized telecommunications.
