Cryptocurrency exchange MEXC adds staking for Bittensor’s TAO token, expanding access to its 128-subnet AI blockchain ecosystem.
Cryptocurrency exchange MEXC has launched staking support for Bittensor’s TAO token, enabling its 40 million users to earn rewards by securing the decentralized AI network. The integration with validator Yuma allows users to stake TAO, which is allocated across 128 specialized subnets performing tasks like AI inference and model training.
