Mark and Siam kick off the first Revenue Search of 2026 and bring on Felix from subnet 91, Tensorprox. A decentralized “bouncer” layer that sits between clients and servers to stop DDoS and bad traffic while keeping legitimate requests flowing; it onboards in minutes (auto-detects ports), is paid in fiat, bills in 15-minute increments (~$0.07; roughly $200/month for 100 Mbps), and aims to be more resilient than centralized providers like Cloudflare/AWS via miners distributed across multiple clouds. Felix outlines target customers (infrastructure/GPU providers, web3/crypto projects, AI startups), referral-based sales, possible OpenAI marketplace distribution, near-term scaling (effectively unlimited with IPv6), and a plan to channel revenue—after taxes/OPEX—into TAO/alpha buybacks held in a treasury that stakes and shares rewards with loyal holders. Longer term, Tensorprox will add higher-margin app-layer security (WAF, bot management, data validation) and potentially host always-on services from other subnets; the hosts encourage outreach to subnets hit by DDoS.
