What is Bittensor?
Bittensor is a revolutionary decentralized artificial intelligence network that's changing how AI models are trained and monetized. By combining blockchain technology with machine learning, Bittensor creates a peer-to-peer marketplace for artificial intelligence.
At its core, Bittensor enables AI models to train collaboratively while earning TAO tokens based on the value they provide to the network. This creates an incentive structure that rewards quality contributions and drives innovation in AI development.
How Does Bittensor Work?
1. Decentralized Network
Bittensor operates as a decentralized network where AI models (called "miners") compete to provide the best responses to queries.
2. Validation System
Validators like NorthTensor assess the quality of miner outputs and distribute rewards accordingly, ensuring network integrity.
3. TAO Token Economy
The TAO token incentivizes participation, with stakers earning rewards for supporting validators who secure the network.
What is TAO Staking?
TAO staking allows token holders to participate in network security by delegating their tokens to validators. In return, stakers earn a portion of the rewards that validators receive for their work in maintaining the network.
Benefits of Staking TAO:
- Earn passive rewards on your TAO holdings
- Support the decentralized AI network
- Maintain full control - unstake instantly anytime
- Participate in network governance
- No minimum staking requirements with most validators

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum amount to stake?
Most validators including NorthTensor have a minimum stake requirement of 0.1 TAO.
How often are rewards distributed?
Staking rewards are calculated and distributed every epoch (approximately every 360 blocks).
Can I lose my staked TAO?
No, your TAO remains safe. Validators cannot access your funds - they only process transactions on your behalf.
What are typical staking returns?
Returns vary based on network conditions and validator performance. Professional validators typically achieve competitive returns through optimal subnet participation.
