Bittensor (TAO)

Going live with John in an hour here on X and Youtube. See you soon!

🚨 BIG NEWS: Root Reborn #2759 dropped on Github. Simply put: $TAO's Root Reborn changes root staking from a Sell Machine into a Reinvestment Machine Right now, root staking earns yield by taking subnet dividends and automatically selling them back into $TAO. That means every block, root yield, creates sell pressure on the very subnet tokens that are supposed to give $TAO value. So Root Reborn changes that. Instead of dumping subnet alpha into $TAO, validators would choose where that root yield gets reinvested across subnets. So the flow changes from: Subnet Dividends = Auto-Sold into $TAO to Subnet Dividends, Reinvested Into Subnet Baskets, which Compounds Over Time. This could change everything. It reduces automatic sell pressure on subnets. It creates more buy pressure for selected subnets. It lets root yield compound instead of leaking out. It makes validators more important again because they actively curate where capital goes. It makes $TAO’s Risk-Free Rate cleaner because the yield is backed by reinvestment, not constant dumping. It could also make root staking more attractive, which brings more capital to root. That capital then gets deployed back into subnets, which is bullish for some subnets. More capital attracted. That is the idea, I think, and we need it. The PR is still open, and the reviews flagged real technical risks that need to be fixed before this should go live. The concept is powerful. But the implementation still needs safeguards around things like unbounded work, migration safety, and making sure claims are paid to the right stakers. And before many ask: What stops bad validators from sending root capital to weak subnets or insider baskets? Simple their stakers. If a validator allocates badly, their basket performs badly. Stakers can see ALL that. It doesn't remove bad actors. It just makes it visible, measurable, and not worth the cost. $TAO people should be paying attention here. 🔗https://t.co/aAdUs26pyE

Root Reborn turns $TAO staking from: •Extractive yield (sell pressure, short term) Into: •Reflexive, compounding capital allocator (buy pressure, long term aligned) Think of it like shifting from a dividend that liquidates portfolio holdings… to an auto reinvesting index fund of subnets curated by validators.

This is a must read 📖 Root staking now buys into subnets rather than taking from them - a change that could massively benefit Bittensor ecosystem This is overall bullish for subnets. With many quality projects trending lower rn, this is the upgrade we truly needed $TAO
