Into:Desearch
Decentralized real-time search for AI

Desearch turns the work of crawling the live web, X, Reddit, and Arxiv into a Bittensor competition, then sells the cleaned-up results back through an API that AI builders can plug into.
What is Desearch
Desearch (Subnet 22) is a decentralized search engine. Instead of one company running the crawlers and ranking the results, the subnet pays a network of independent operators to fetch and score live data from the web and social platforms, and serves that data through the Desearch API and console.
The simple version: It is like a search API such as Google's or a research tool like Perplexity, but the indexing and ranking are spread across many competing operators rather than a single provider.
Centralized equivalent: Think SerpAPI or a web-search API, plus a Perplexity-style answer layer, built as an open marketplace instead of a closed service.
How it works:
- Miners run a Bittensor axon, declare their search capacity, answer health checks, and serve AI, X/Twitter, and web search requests pulled from sources like the web, X, Reddit, and Arxiv.
- Validators send both synthetic and real (organic) queries to miners, verify the answers against independent providers, score results for relevance and accuracy over rolling windows, and write weights on-chain.
Why This Matters

Other research from the same neighborhood of the network.
