Bittensor

Bittensor is a decentralized protocol in which artificial intelligence and machine learning services are produced and rewarded on an open network. The network consists of subnets, each focused on a specific task; text generation, data collection, providing computing power and model training are examples of these tasks. TAO is the native token of the Subtensor chain, developed with the Polkadot SDK, and its supply is capped in a way similar to Bitcoin.

In each subnet, miners produce the requested output, while validators score the quality of that output. A mechanism called Yuma Consensus combines these scores to determine how newly issued tokens are shared among miners, validators and subnet owners. With the Dynamic TAO upgrade, each subnet gained its own alpha token, and the distribution of TAO across subnets was tied to demand for these tokens. TAO is staked to validators, used for subnet registration and used to pay transaction fees. As with Bitcoin, the block reward is periodically halved.

The main factors affecting the TAO price are whether the services produced by subnets meet genuine demand, halving periods, staking ratios and general interest in AI-themed crypto projects. On Lzzo.com, the Bittensor price comes from TAO/USDT trades on Binance and is converted into dollars at Coinbase Exchange's rate, and the page chart follows this series.
