Targon (Bittensor subnet 4, operated by Manifold Labs) is a confidential-compute subnet: a permissionless GPU/CPU marketplace for inference where jobs are claimed to run inside hardware enclaves the machine operator cannot read, with prices set by open auction. The project cites an Intel-co-authored architecture paper for its TEE design and describes a revenue-to-token-buyback flywheel. None of the confidentiality, revenue, or buyback claims have been independently checked for this seed batch; on-chain emissions and any buyback activity are queryable in principle and are flagged for the automated check harness.

Change log

  • 2026-08-24 — record: seeded from provider roster v1.0 (Unverified) (source)
  • 2026-10-05 — api.models: X claim (a_launch): We're excited to share that Bare Metal and Sandboxes are now live on https://Targon.com Bare Metal → An entire physical machine dedicated to your organization → No hypervisor, no container runtime, no noisy neighbors → Full control of kernel, drivers and firmware-level GPU settings → Every operator is KYC-verified, keeping workloads secure without TVM Sandboxes → Short-lived, isolated Linux environments for development, testing, previews and agents → Provisioning to running within seconds → Browser terminal, graphical Linux desktop or SSH → Fork independent copies for parallel experiments and agent tasks → Publish a template from any setup worth repeating → Pause when idle to stop active compute billing, resume anytime (Claimed) (source)
