Bittensor launches eTAO, giving subnets control over emission splits
- —Owners can receive 0-33% of alpha, with rented subnets required to reserve at least 18%
- —Validators can get up to 50%, while miners must receive at least 33%
- —When validator share drops, eTAO raises the subnet's effective TAO weight to protect root-network stakers
- —Total alpha per subnet is unchanged and existing configurations stay until owners opt in
Why it matters: Flexible emission splits give subnets more autonomy and could shift returns for miners, validators and TAO stakers.
