The evolution of Bittensor $TAO : - founded in 2021 by Jacob Robert Steeves and Ala Shaabana - built as a decentralized AI network goal: create an open market for machine intelligence - fixed supply of 21M TAO, similar to Bitcoin 2021–2023: origins and mainnet evolution January 2021: Bittensor launches with Kusanagi network - early mining and validation begin, ~546K TAO emitted November 2021: Nakamoto upgrade replaces Kusanagi March 20, 2023: Finney upgrade goes live performance improves, network becomes stable base layer 2023–2024: subnets and first real expansion - introduction of subnet model: independent AI markets inside the network each subnet specializes in tasks like language models, data, or compute - network scales toward 100+ subnets July 2024: major security incident - supply chain attack through a malicious PyPI package - around $8M in TAO drained from wallets - network enters “safe mode” to stop further damage 2025: tokenomics shift and halving - Taoflow upgrade introduces dynamic emissions - rewards distributed based on staking demand across subnets December 2025: first halving emissions drop from ~7,200 TAO/day to ~3,600 TAO/day TAO starts being compared more directly to Bitcoin 2026: AI narrative and market breakout - network grows to ~128 subnets - top subnets dominate emissions and usage - Subnet 3 (Templar) launches Covenant-72B - one of the largest decentralized language models - 72B parameters trained inside the network from a small experimental network in 2021 to a full AI economy competing with centralized models Bitcoin for intelligence.
