Subnet 116
TaoLend is Bittensor's lending protocol — lend TAO for ~8% APY or borrow against alpha collateral.
The simplest explanation
Like a decentralized bank where your Bittensor subnet tokens act as collateral for loans.
How does Bittensor make this possible?
Subnet 116uses Bittensor's incentive layer to build something no single company could run alone.
Miners compete
Participants (called miners) on the Subnet 116 subnet compete to produce the best outputs for finance tasks. Anyone with the right hardware can join.
Validators score the work
Validators continuously evaluate miner outputs against objective benchmarks. The best performers rise, the worst are replaced. There's no human committee — the protocol decides.
Rewards flow to the best
Miners are paid in the Subnet 116 alpha token in proportion to how good their work is. This creates a continuous competitive pressure that drives quality up and cost down — structurally, not just as a promise.
The whole network benefits
Because every participant is aligned toward the same goal — producing the best finance results — the network improves continuously without requiring a central team to manage it.
