Introducing ChipForge: Democratizing Semiconductor Design

The semiconductor industry has a problem: it's become nearly impossible for new players to enter.

Designing a modern chip costs $500 million or more. Only a handful of giant corporations can afford to play. Innovation suffers. Progress slows.

We're here to change that.

The ChipForge Vision

ChipForge is building the world's first decentralized chip design platform on the Bittensor network.

Our vision is simple:

• Anyone can contribute to chip design
• Merit determines whose designs win
• Everyone shares in the rewards

How It Works

1. Challenge

We publish open design challenges based on the RISC-V architecture. Each challenge specifies exact requirements — from simple ALU blocks to complete neural accelerators.

2. Compete

Engineers worldwide submit RTL (Verilog) implementations. Whether you're in San Francisco or Singapore, your talent is your only barrier to entry.

3. Win

Our validator network runs industry-standard EDA tools to synthesize, simulate, and score each design. Top performers earn TAO rewards automatically.

Why Bittensor?

Bittensor provides the perfect infrastructure for decentralized chip design:

• Economic incentives — TAO rewards align everyone's interests
• Validator network — Distributed computation for verification
• Permissionless — No gatekeepers, no corporate politics
• Transparent — All designs and scores are public

The Roadmap

We're moving fast:

By the end of 2026, designs from our platform will exist as real, physical chips.

Join the Revolution

The future of chip design is open, decentralized, and accessible to everyone.

Whether you're a:

• Hardware engineer — Compete and earn TAO
• AI researcher — Get custom accelerators for your models
• Validator — Secure the network and earn rewards

There's a place for you at ChipForge.
