The integration with validator Yuma gives millions of MEXC users access to Bittensor, an AI-focused blockchain whose ecosystem now spans 128 specialized subnets. Cryptocurrency exchange MEXC has launched staking support for Bittensor’s native TAO token, allowing users to earn rewards by helping secure one of the largest decentralized artificial intelligence networks. Bittensor validator Yuma announced Tuesday that MEXC has integrated its validator infrastructure to support TAO staking for the exchange’s reported 40 million users. Yuma participates in Bittensor’s consensus mechanism by evaluating the performance of network subnets — specialized AI applications that perform specific machine learning tasks — and assigning weights that help determine how staking rewards are distributed. The companies said the integration is intended to expand access to the Bittensor ecosystem and increase participation in the network. Read more

A high-profile departure from Bittensor has triggered a steep sell-off in the decentralized artificial intelligence network, wiping out nearly $900 million from its market capitalization in a matter of hours as internal disputes spill into public view.

Covenant AI said it was leaving Bittensor due to its overreaching control on subnets and their large-scale TAO token sales, but Bittensor’s founder denied all allegations. Bittensor subnet developer Covenant AI said Friday that it is leaving the decentralized artificial intelligence network, accusing Bittensor of operating under a concentrated governance structure that undermines its decentralization claims. In a Friday post on X, Covenant AI founder Sam Dare said the team could no longer build on or raise for Bittensor because its governance was not meaningfully distributed. “It is decentralization theatre,” Dare said. “Jacob Steeves maintains effective control over the triumvirate, resists any meaningful transfer of authority, and deploys changes unilaterally whenever he chooses, without process and without consensus.” Read more

Bittensor’s first token halving is scheduled for Dec. 14, reducing TAO issuance by half as the AI-focused network adopts a Bitcoin-style fixed supply model. With Bitcoin now in its fourth quadrennial halving, other decentralized projects have adopted similar supply-cut cycles — and Bittensor is approaching its first since launching in 2021. Bittensor, a decentralized, open-source machine-learning network built around specialized “subnets” that incentivize marketplaces for AI services, is expected to undergo its inaugural halving on or around Dec. 14. At that point, issuance of its native token, TAO (TAO), will drop to 3,600 per day from the current 7,200. Grayscale Research analyst William Ogden Moore called the event a “key milestone in the network’s maturation as it progresses toward its 21 million token supply cap,” matching Bitcoin’s (BTC) fixed limit.
