4/4 TaoChain has the composability built straight into the core. Since all bridged wTAO gets staked, and gswTAO is native chain currency, stakers don't have to go looking for a protocol that supports gswTAO. All TaoChain protocols use gswTAO by default.

3/4 The native chain currency on TaoChain will be Gradients own gswTAO. All bridged wTAO is staked and earns yield. Users receive gswTAO on TaoChain. This essentially brings DeFi to Bittensor, and makes it so everyone on TaoChain earns yield on the funds they have there.
