Over a year it is -48% (down), and it sits -73% from its all-time high. Total value locked on this chain is $44.9M, or 0.02x its market cap.

Overview What is Bittensor
Bittensor is an open-source protocol that powers a decentralized, blockchain-based machine learning network. Machine learning models train collaboratively and are rewarded in TAO according to the informational value they offer the collective. TAO also grants external access, allowing users to extract information from the network while tuning its activities to their needs.
Ultimately, BitTensors vision is to create a pure market for artificial intelligence, an incentivized arena in which consumers and producers of this valuable commodity can interact in a trustless, open and transparent context.
Bittensor enables:
-A novel, optimized strategy for the development and distribution of artificial intelligence technology by leveraging the possibilities of a distributed ledger. Specifically, its facilitation of open access/ownership, decentralized governance, and the ability to harness globally-distributed resources of computing power and innovation within an incentivized framework.

Trading -73% from its all-time high. Recovering that ground would take a substantial return of demand — and a discount this large usually has a reason worth checking.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
14
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 34 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 14. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate) gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
60
→ The trend is flat — no clear direction yet.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
100
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
5
→ Little capital is locked relative to market cap, or the asset is outside TVL coverage.
Supply lightness
46
→ Supply is partway through being released.
Development activity → 7 code updates in the last four weeks — on the quiet side.

Reference / calculator Dilution simulator (run it on your own assumptions)
This is a calculator you drive. Every number below follows from the assumptions you set — it is not our price forecast and not a recommendation. Unlocked tokens are not necessarily sold; the defaults are one illustration among many.
Assume the unlocked tokens reach the market, and see the theoretical impact of that supply dilution on price.
Move the sliders: more selling = larger impact, more absorption = smaller impact. The impact is a rough approximation that assumes added supply dilutes price linearly, all else equal.
