Bittensor Launches eTAO, Subnet Owners Can Customize Emission Distribution Ratios

The Bittensor development team, Opentensor Foundation, has launched eTAO, allowing subnet owners to adjust the distribution ratios of subnet alpha emissions among owners, validators, and miners. Previously, all subnets uniformly adopted a standard distribution of 18% for owners, 41% for validators and their stakers, and 41% for miners. The protocol limits for eTAO are as follows: owners can allocate between 0% to 33% (with a minimum of 18% for subnets created via leasing); validators can receive up to 50%, with a variable minimum ratio to protect the root network; miners must receive at least 33%; and owners can update the allocation approximately every 7 days. Owners may choose to retain 18%, allocate 20% to validators, and increase the miner's share to 62%. To ensure the earnings of TAO stakers in the root network, eTAO will automatically adjust the effective TAO weight of the subnet, keeping the share received by root network stakers consistent with the default distribution. When the validator's share is reduced from 41% to 20%, the effective TAO weight can increase from 18% to 43.9%, while the root network can still receive about 5.4% of the subnet emissions. eTAO does not change the total amount of alpha received by the subnet, and existing subnets will maintain their current distribution until the owners actively adjust it.
