Bittensor has announced a significant overhaul of its emissions model, aimed at enhancing liquidity and mitigating risks linked to negative net flows. The source reports that this strategic shift, effective from October 2025, is designed to foster a more competitive landscape within the network.
New Flow-Based Model for Subnets
The new flow-based model stipulates that subnets experiencing negative net TAO flows will not receive any emissions. This approach is intended to incentivize stronger subnets, allowing them to flourish while simultaneously pruning those that are underperforming.
Goals of the New Approach
By implementing these changes, Bittensor seeks to cultivate a sustainable ecosystem that supports the ongoing development of artificial intelligence technologies. The move reflects a broader trend in the crypto space towards creating more resilient and efficient networks.
In a recent development, StarkNet has launched a new initiative aimed at enhancing its ecosystem, drawing inspiration from successful strategies like those of Optimism. This contrasts with Bittensor's recent overhaul of its emissions model. For more details, see StarkNet Initiative.
