From zero to earning in under 5 minutes. No experience needed.
Install a Polkadot-compatible wallet extension. We recommend Talisman or Polkadot.js for browser, Nova Wallet for mobile.
Click "Connect Wallet" in the top bar, choose a subnet, and stake. You'll start earning emissions immediately.
Bittensor is a decentralized AI network where 128+ subnets compete to build the best AI models. TAO is the native token. When you stake TAO into a subnet, you earn daily emissions — like dividends for backing AI innovation.
dTAO (dynamic TAO) lets you stake directly into individual subnets instead of just validators. Each subnet has its own alpha token. When you stake, your TAO is converted to alpha tokens. You earn emissions proportional to your share of the pool.
You can stake as little as 0.1 TAO. There's no minimum to get started. Even 1 TAO will earn you daily emissions.
Staking through SubnetAIQ is non-custodial — your TAO stays in your wallet. We never hold your keys or funds. You sign each transaction with your wallet extension.
Use our TAO Wheel for grade-based analysis, Pre-Pump Radar for timing entries, and the Staking Calculator for yield projections. Start with high-liquidity subnets (50K+ TAO pool) for lower risk.
Yes. Unstaking is instant on Bittensor. Your alpha tokens convert back to TAO at the current exchange rate. Note: if the alpha price dropped, you may receive less TAO than you staked.
SubnetAIQ charges a 0.5% service fee on staking transactions. This is how we keep the entire site free with no subscriptions or paywalls.
Your alpha tokens are returned at the exit price. This is why we built the DeReg Risk monitor — always check it before staking in smaller subnets.
