Rizzo Inc · The CompanyWyoming · New Mexico, USA

The company behind the machines.

Rizzo Inc is a US company that owns and operates real infrastructure for decentralized AI. We've run validators, miners, and the products built on top since 2021, from our own datacenter, on our own hardware, by our own team.

01 · The story

It started with real hardware.

Rizzo began in 2021 as one of the first validators on Bittensor, on the Nakamoto network, before Finney. While much of the industry rented capacity or simply copied results, we bought machines, racked them in a US datacenter, and did the work properly. That discipline became our edge.

Since then Rizzo has grown from a single validator into a multi-network operation, validating and mining across five networks, and into a builder on top of the infrastructure we run. Same principle throughout: own the machines, do the work, earn the trust.

2021

The first machines

Founded as one of the earliest Bittensor validators, on the Nakamoto network, with owned, bare-metal hardware from day one.

Since

An all-subnet validator

Scaled to genuine, independent validation across all 128 Bittensor subnets, from a US datacenter in New Mexico, and added insurance coverage no other operator carries.

2026

Beyond Bittensor

Validators and mining across NEAR, Konnex, DeepNode and Nockchain, plus products in development built on the infrastructure we run.

On the record

A real company, by the numbers.

Owned, US-based, and insured: the facts a buyer or staker can verify.

02 · The facility

A real datacenter. In New Mexico.

Owned, bare-metal hardware in a US facility: the racks, the enterprise GPUs, and the engineers who run them. Not rented capacity, not anonymous offshore nodes. The real thing.

03 · The team

Infrastructure, development, and AI experts.

Rizzo runs the crypto-native way: a collective that operates under handles, not headshots, and lets the work speak for itself on-chain. The same people who run the validators build the products.

04 · What we stand for

How we operate.

Real, not rented.

We own our hardware and perform genuine, independent validation: real evaluation, by the engineers who do the actual work.

US-based and accountable.

A Wyoming corporation running a New Mexico datacenter. Diligence-friendly, insured, and here under our own name.

Don't trust. Verify.

Everything we do is on-chain and public. Our validator's signature literally ends in "Rizzo." Check it yourself.

Built for the long run.

We back networks we believe in and operate them for years, not incentive cycles. Stability is the product.
