Bittensor Documentation
Bittensor is an open source platform where participants produce best-in-class digital commodities, including compute power, storage space, artificial intelligence (AI) inference and training, protein folding, financial markets prediction, and many more.
Bittensor is composed of distinct subnets. Each subnet is an independent community of miners (who produce the commodity), and validators (who evaluate the miners' work).
The Bittensor network constantly emits liquidity, in the form of its token, TAO (), to participants in proportion to the value of their contributions. Participants include:
- Miners—Work to produce digital commodities. See mining in Bittensor.
- Validators—Evaluate the quality of miners' work. See validating in Bittensor
- Subnet Creators—Manage the incentive mechanisms that specify the work miners and validate must perform and evaluate, respectively. See Create a Subnet
- Stakers—TAO holders can support specific validators by staking TAO to them. See Staking.
Browse the subnets and explore links to their code repositories on Taostats' subnets listings.
Participate
You can participate in an existing subnet as either a subnet validator or a subnet miner, or by staking your TAO to running validators.
