Bittensor subnet tokens are coming to Kraken

Kraken has completed native integration of Bittensor’s dTAO and will begin listing subnet tokens in the near future. 

Bittensor is a decentralized protocol that coordinates and rewards the production of machine intelligence. Rather than a single company training one large AI model behind closed doors, Bittensor is an open network where independent participants compete to provide valuable outputs, such as text generation, data scraping, price prediction, or protein folding, and get paid in TAO based on how useful their work is.

Bittensor rewards contributors with TAO for producing intelligence that other participants judge to be valuable. The resource being incentivized is different (useful AI output rather than raw hashing power), but the underlying idea is the same: use a token to pay a distributed crowd to do something that benefits the whole system.

dTAO, short for dynamic TAO, is the model that gives every Bittensor subnet its own token. Bittensor is a decentralized network of independent subnets, each operating as its own market for a specific digital commodity such as machine intelligence, model training, data, or compute.

Under dTAO, each subnet issues its own token, and these are the subnet tokens we are listing. TAO remains the network’s base asset and the unit through which value flows across the network.

Each subnet token represents participation in one specific subnet’s economy, with its own market and its own emissions. This lets holders engage with an individual subnet directly rather than the network as a whole.

Staking sits at the center of the dTAO model. Subnet tokens aren’t only held or traded. Within the protocol they can be staked to the validators that secure each subnet, and stakers share in the emissions that subnet activity generates.
