Monetizing AI Models: Bittensor (TAO) Now Available on Ndax!

Bittensor (TAO) is a decentralized platform designed to transform the development, sharing, and monetization of artificial intelligence (AI) models. Combining blockchain technology with machine learning, Bittensor creates a transparent, trustless marketplace for AI models that incentivizes collaboration and innovation. Available now on Ndax, this project is set to reshape the future of AI and provide new opportunities for developers, researchers, and AI enthusiasts. 

Bittensor is a decentralized network that allows users to create, train, share, and monetize AI models within a secure, blockchain-based ecosystem. The platform utilizes a unique consensus mechanism called Proof of Intelligence (PoI) to reward participants based on the value they contribute to the network. Bittensor aims to democratize access to AI development, enabling smaller developers and research teams to collaborate with large-scale institutions and researchers. Through its decentralized structure and innovative tokenomics, Bittensor offers new opportunities for users to access, develop, and profit from AI models in a transparent and secured environment. 

Decentralized AI Network: Facilitates a global, collaborative ecosystem where AI models can communicate, learn, and improve without relying on centralized hubs.

Proof of Intelligence (PoI): A unique consensus mechanism that rewards participants based on the value of their contributions to the network's intelligence.

AI Model Ownership and Monetization: Allows AI researchers and developers to create, train, share, and monetize their models within a decentralized marketplace.

Governance and Security: TAO token holders can participate in network governance, while blockchain technology helps ensure transparency, security, and data integrity. 

The native token of the Bittensor ecosystem is TAO. TAO serves as a utility token for accessing AI services, a staking token for securing the network, and a governance token for voting on protocol upgrades.

Circulating Supply: 8.4MTAO 
Max Supply: 21M TAO

Key Allocations: 
Bittensor (TAO) was fair-launched with no pre-mine, ICO, or specific allocations. The tokenomics are based on a mining and validation model similar to Bitcoin.  

TAO's distribution are:

• Daily emission: 7,200 TAO (1 TAO per block, approximately every 12 seconds)
• Rewards are distributed among miners, validators, subnet owners, and delegators
• A halving event is scheduled later in 2025, which will reduce emissions by 50%
• Tokens are created through mining and validating, not through pre-allocated distributions 

Founded in 2016 by Jacob Steeves and Ala Shaabana, Bittensor was originally conceived as a Polkadot parachain before making a strategic shift in March 2023 to launch its own blockchain, Subtensor. With the introduction of the Proof of Intelligence consensus mechanism, Bittensor began its journey towards decentralized AI development. The native cryptocurrency, TAO, reached an all-time high in April 2024, showcasing the increasing interest and potential of the project. In February 2025, Bittensor completed its dTAO upgrade, decentralizing token issuance and empowering subnet projects to operate with their own tokens. 

Bittensor (TAO) is at the forefront of a new era in AI development, providing a decentralized platform that offers AI creators, researchers, and developers new opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and profit from their work. With its unique Proof of Intelligence consensus mechanism, tokenized AI resources, and community-driven governance, Bittensor is setting the stage for a more open, collaborative, and transparent AI ecosystem. Whether you're a developer looking to monetize your AI models or a researcher seeking to collaborate in a decentralized environment, Bittensor offers the tools and infrastructure to bring your vision to life.
