Tokenomics

Learn how tao and alpha tokens are emitted and distributed to participants on Bittensor.

Tao: The emission and distribution of tao into the subnets.

Alpha Tokens: Each subnet has a token that can be purchased with tao.

Subnet Emission: Alpha emission is divided between the participants and the subnet pool.

Halving: Bittensor tokens (tao and alpha) follow the Bitcoin halving schedule.

Recycling: The purchase of a subnet or subnet neurons results in tao/alpah being recycled,

Staking: Buy and sell alpha in each subnet. Or for a safer option, stake into the root subnet.
