Bittensor is an open-source protocol that supports decentralized, blockchain-based machine learning networks. Machine learning models collaboratively train and are rewarded in TAO based on the informational value they provide to the collective. TAO also grants external access, allowing users to extract information from the network while customizing activities according to their own needs.

Ultimately, our vision is to create a pure market for artificial intelligence, an incentivized stage where consumers and producers of this valuable commodity can interact in a trustless, open, and transparent environment.

Bittensor enables:

• The development and distribution of novel, optimized strategies for artificial intelligence technologies by leveraging the possibilities of distributed ledgers. Specifically, it promotes open access/ownership, decentralized governance, and the ability to utilize globally distributed computational power and innovative resources within an incentivized framework.

• An open-source repository of machine intelligence accessible to anyone, anywhere, creating conditions for open and permissionless innovation across the global internet.

• The allocation of rewards and network ownership to users in proportion to the value they add.
