Introducing TaoFi: the financial layer for decentralized AI, built on Bittensor.
We're excited to share that TaoFi has raised a strategic funding round led by DCG alongside Pantera, taostats, Lyrik, and others.
Here’s how TaoFi is bringing the next billion agents on-chain:

Uniswap V3 LP miners are scored based on the amount of fees generated in the previous 24 hours. By tying emissions to revenue generation, SN10 incentivizes useful, active liquidity.
No changes to the incentive mechanism are made for pool allocation miners.

SN10 is transitioning to a multi-incentive subnet, with emissions split across multiple tasks.
Every 10 minutes, miners choose a task. Each task has a threshold for number of miners. If this threshold is passed, the lowest performing miners in the group receive a score of 0.

To mine Swap tokens, users only need to deposit $TAO or USDC liquidity to the pool. The more fees a miner's liquidity generates, the more tokens they earn.

Interest rates are determined by utilization (% of funds that are borrowed) to incentivize healthy use of liquidity:
Interest rates stay low below 80% to encourage borrowing
Utilization above 80% results in a steep uptick in rates to ensure liquidity for lenders to withdraw

The majority of incentives for miners come from trading fees and are paid out in $TAO or USDC. Miners will continue to earn these incentives independent of changes to SN10 emissions.
