BITTENSOR

Bittensor: anopen market fordigital intelligence.

Bittensor is an open network of specialized subnets for AI, compute, storage, and prediction. Miners produce work, validators evaluate it, and TAO stakers support validators and subnets.

NETWORK OVERVIEW

Specialized markets, coordinated by one network.

Each Bittensor subnet focuses on a distinct digital commodity and defines how its quality is evaluated.
Miners produce the work, validators measure performance, and TAO stakers help support the validators and subnets driving the network forward.
01Subnets

Independent digital markets.

Each subnet focuses on a particular service or commodity, with its own miners, validators, and incentive mechanism.

02Miners

Produce useful work.

Miners provide the models, compute, data, storage, predictions, or other outputs requested by a subnet.

03Validators

Evaluate performance.

Validators assess miner output and participate in the incentive process defined by each subnet.

04Stakers

Support validators and subnets.

TAO holders can delegate to validators, strengthen the subnets they support, and contribute to Bittensor’s staking ecosystem.

FAQ

Questions.

What is Bittensor?

Bittensor is an open network of specialized subnets that produce and evaluate digital commodities such as AI inference, compute, storage, and prediction. TAO coordinates rewards and staking across the network.

What does FirstTensor operate on Bittensor?

FirstTensor operates a public Bittensor validator. Our validator identity, delegated stake, delegator activity, and estimated yield are displayed separately from Bittensor-wide network data.

How do I stake TAO with FirstTensor?

Open the FirstTensor staking guide, verify the displayed hotkey against the explorer, review the current validator information, and follow the supported wallet or staking interface instructions.

How is estimated APY calculated?

The displayed value is based on the validator’s observed seven-day yield as reported by Taostats and annualized by the existing FirstTensor data provider. It is an estimate and can change.

Where can I verify the FirstTensor validator?

Verify the FirstTensor hotkey through the linked Taostats validator page before delegating.

Are staking rewards guaranteed?

No. Rewards and estimated APY vary with network conditions, validator performance, emissions, stake distribution, and protocol changes.
