Inference on Bittensor is fragmented — dozens of subnets serve models at wildly different prices and latencies, and there is no clean way to know which one to call. Helix Router fixes that. It sits in front of the network as an intelligent routing layer: every request is scored against live price, latency and reliability data, then dispatched to the optimal model in real time.
During incubation the team has shipped a working router handling test traffic across six partner subnets. Graduation funds the production launch — a dedicated subnet where miners compete to serve the fastest, cheapest routes, and validators score them on delivered quality.

Security review cleared
The external audit of our dispatch and settlement path returned no critical findings. Report is published in the docs. One milestone left.
Sixth subnet integrated
Test-network routing now spans six partner subnets. Weekly routed volume is up 38% over the incubation period.
Crowdloan opened
The Helix Router crowdloan is live. Backers who lock TAO now receive pro-rata lease shares at graduation.
