What is Bittensor?
We understand that Bittensor can seem complex, so we’re here to make it simple and help you unlock its potential.
At its core, Bittensor is a decentralized network where AI models compete, collaborate and improve. Bittensor provides pathways for these models to be commercialized as AI services. Bittensor allows anyone to invest in and contribute to the network and earn TAO based on their financial or technical contributions.
Blockchain
A secure, digital record of transactions across many computers.
Decentralized
A system where control is shared, not owned by one entity.
Miners
A participant who provides computing power to train AI and earns rewards.
Validators
Someone who checks and verifies network work for accuracy.
Subnets
Specialized sections of the network that handle specific AI tasks.
Tao
Digital currency you earn for contributing to the Bittensor network.
How Does Bittensor Work?
Bittensor is a decentralized, blockchain-powered network that enables open participation in artificial intelligence (AI) development. Unlike traditional AI platforms controlled by large companies, Bittensor allows individuals and organizations to contribute computational power to train, validate, and improve AI models while earning rewards through TAO, the network’s native cryptocurrency.
The network operates through a collaborative infrastructure where miners provide computational resources, and validators ensure the accuracy of AI outputs. This decentralized model fosters global innovation and makes AI development more accessible, removing control from a few big companies and allowing anyone to contribute and benefit.
By using blockchain technology, Bittensor guarantees transparency and trust, as all contributions and transactions are recorded on-chain. For newcomers, Bittensor represents a shift in how AI is built, offering opportunities for anyone with resources to participate in a scalable, transparent, and open AI ecosystem.

Bittensor uses Blockchain technology to create Artificial intelligence
The tokenomics of Bittensor (TAO) are very similar to Bitcoin, with the additional benefit of being coupled to intelligence and AI.
Decentralized AI
Traditional AI development is dominated by a few large corporations, but Bittensor is changing the game by creating a decentralized AI network. In this open ecosystem, anyone can contribute to training, validating, and utilizing AI models. This shift puts power into the hands of individuals and communities, driving innovation and collaboration while ensuring transparency and fairness.
Bittensor decentralizes AI by distributing the development and training of models across a global network. Instead of one entity controlling the process, contributors like validators and miners help verify and power AI models. Validators ensure data integrity, miners provide computational power, and all participants are rewarded with TAO tokens for their efforts.
