Bittensor (TAO) is a decentralized network powering a machine learning ecosystem. The artificial intelligence-based project uses a unique consensus mechanism called Proof of Intelligence (PoI), where network participants are rewarded based on the value of their contributions.
Ultimately, Bittensor aims to establish a marketplace for trustless, decentralized AI algorithms that are accessible to everyone. Thanks to the power of the blockchain, Bittensor can train and operate machine learning models on a large scale.
TAO, the network’s native token, forms an important part of the Bittensor ecosystem. The cryptocurrency incentivises users to contribute resources like computing power and data for training and deploying machine learning models.
