Dynamic TAO (dTAO) How Dynamic TAO connects network TAO, subnet alpha tokens, liquidity pools, emissions, and validator stake weight. Yuma Consensus An explanation of Yuma Consensus, the Bittensor mechanism that aggregates validator weights into miner incentives and validator dividends. Wallets, Coldkeys, and Hotkeys Understanding Bittensor wallets and the roles of coldkeys and hotkeys for security, identity, and operations. Mining and Validating in Bittensor A factual overview of how miners produce subnet work, validators evaluate that work, and consensus turns validator signals into subnet emissions.

All subnets
Subnet 1: Apex Apex is Bittensor's first subnet, operated by Macrocosmos, running open competitions where miners submit Python algorithms that validators continuously benchmark for rewards. Subnet 2: DSperse DSperse is Bittensor Subnet 2. Its on-chain identity describes it as verifiable and distributed inference, and its repository presents the subnet as a Proof-of-Inference network. Subnet 4: Targon Targon is Bittensor Subnet 4, a confidential-compute subnet for protected AI infrastructure. Subnet 5: Hone Hone is Bittensor Subnet 5, an ARC-AGI-2 reasoning subnet that evaluates solver repositories in a secure GPU sandbox. Subnet 6: Numinous Numinous is a Bittensor forecasting protocol that pits miners' Python agents against real-world prediction events, scoring them by Brier Score inside isolated Docker sandboxes. Subnet 7: Allways Allways is a Bittensor subnet enabling trustless native asset swaps across independent blockchains, using a collateral-and-slashing smart contract to coordinate miners as market makers and validators as independent verifiers.
