(2/8) TAO
🤔 What does Subnet mean in the Bittensor project?
‼️ One of the most important parts of Bittensor is its subnets.
💭 Imagine Bittensor as a huge “AI city.” Inside this city, each Subnet works like its own specialized “company” or department.
💭 For example, one subnet focuses only on AI text generation, another on image generation, another on GPU power, another on AI-powered search, and another on language models.
👉🏻 Instead of the whole network doing only one thing, the project is divided into specialized sectors. 👈🏻
🪙 So what is an Alpha Token?
🟢 Each subnet has its own independent economy.
People can invest in that subnet, stake in it, and potentially profit from its growth.
🔵 That’s why every subnet has its own dedicated token called an Alpha Token.
‼️ Why subnets matter:
👉🏻 The future of Bittensor heavily depends on the success of these subnets. If powerful and useful subnets are built, the entire TAO ecosystem becomes stronger.
🔹️ This system became even more important after the Dynamic TAO update.
🤔 So what did Dynamic TAO change?
🟢 This update introduced Alpha Tokens for each subnet, changed the staking system, and shifted reward decisions from validators to the market itself.
🔵 At the beginning of the Dynamic TAO update, subnet rewards were mostly determined by the price of Alpha Tokens.
🟢 Later, an update called Taoflow was introduced, which stated that price alone was not enough; actual capital inflow into the subnet also mattered.
👉🏻 This means that real TAO inflow, staking volume, and capital movement became more important than simply a token’s price increase.
