What is Bittensor?
Learn how Bittensor uses specialised subnets, miners and validators to produce and reward useful machine intelligence.
Understand TAO, subnets, and Alpha tokens, then follow practical guides for swapping and staking with PotaTao.

Use Swap to turn TAO into a subnet’s Alpha token. Choose the subnet, review the quote and validator, then confirm the swap.
Subnet staking swaps TAO for Alpha and associates the position with a validator you choose.
Move a staked Alpha position to another validator in the same subnet without swapping it through the subnet pool.
Learn how MEV Shield helps protect supported swaps from frontrunning and sandwich attacks—and what risks still remain.
Learn how Bittensor uses specialised subnets, miners and validators to produce and reward useful machine intelligence.
Learn how TAO moves through Bittensor, how it differs from subnet Alpha tokens, and what happens when you stake it.
Learn how Bittensor subnets, also called TAO subnets, organise specialised work, miners, validators, rewards and their own Alpha-token economies.
