Bittensor
Bittensor is more than just a blockchain; it's a groundbreaking network that fosters decentralized intelligence. Its consensus mechanism rewards the creation and sharing of AI models. This neural network of nodes, maintained by independent miners, promotes a cooperative environment for AI services to be developed and utilized worldwide. At Taoshi, we harness Bittensor's capabilities through our specialized subnet (PTN). As part of the Bittensor ecosystem, we contribute to a decentralized AI marketplace, powered by the Bittensor token ($TAO), ensuring the seamless exchange of data and intelligence. Taoshi acts as a gateway to a new era of accessible, incentivized intelligence, where every contribution to the network's growth is valued and rewarded.
