Bittensor (TAO) has been on our radar for a while now, and for good reason. Decentralized AI is fast becoming the future, and Bittensor is one of the core projects pushing that narrative.
We’ve already done a deep dive into TAO’s fundamentals, and from our research, we found an important part of the Bittensor ecosystem that deserves its own spotlight. We are talking about TAO subnets.
Chutes is now processing over 5 Billion Tokens every single day on OpenRouter.
This is a 2.5x increase from just over a week ago and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Think of them as the real engine of Bittensor. Each subnet contributes their role to make decentralized AI faster, smarter, and more effective. TAO subnets play a super important role.
The importance of these subnets has raised questions in the hearts of smart investors: should you be paying more attention to TAO subnets than $TAO itself? Let’s answer that next.

Bittensor is an open-source blockchain network designed to democratize access to AI technologies.
In short, Bittensor ensures AI is not:

Are Subnet Tokens a Better Investment Than TAO?
First of all, this is a tricky question, but super important. $TAO is the base layer one token, powering the entire ecosystem. It gets value from how many people want to participate in subnets. It’s more like a fuel that miners need to stake and validate. $TAO is the more visible and liquid asset. So, if Bittensor grows as a project, then it’s good news for $TAO. It’s like the face of the entire party.
It leverages of subnets.
What are Subnets?
They are the core of the bittensor ecosystem.
They handle specific AI tasks, like text generation by creating a decentralized AI network where developers can contribute:
– Computational power
– Data
– ExpertiseIt get’s…

However, subnet tokens are at an early stage. This means they are high-risk, high-reward. These tokens represent specialized value, like tokens that capture AI search (Versa), memory (Synapse), or reasoning (Zeno). If a subnet becomes dominant in its niche, its token could outperform TAO by a large margin. But that’s a big “if.”
Investing in $TAO is for those who prefer long-term safety and infrastructure. Meanwhile, subnet tokens are early picks and have more potential if you get the right one. For those interested in getting subnets, here’s how to do that.
In the Bittensor ecosystem, builders(Subnet owners, miners and validators) are rewarded with TAO, the native token, based on their performance.

How can you buy subnet tokens?
Getting subnet tokens isn’t as easy as grabbing stuff on Uniswap. Each TAO subnet has its own validator and reward system. So, when a miner participates in a subnet and contributes useful tasks like data ranking, they get rewarded in that subnet’s native token.
Now, most tokens are not currently available on major centralized exchanges. However, there are some ways to trade them. This includes peer-to-peer, through OTC deals, or using DEXs that support Bittensor-compatible tokens.
Bittensor definitely needs a mobile wallet like the Phantom wallet on Solana.
Or a user friendly UX where you can view and invest in subnets in a few taps.
It is still way too complicated to buy subnet tokens for the average joe.

Plus, some communities like Tensorplex are beginning to build up liquidity. So, to get in, you have to join Discord groups or subnet communities and watch for announcements.
What TAO subnets are there to focus on?
TAO has over 80 subnets, and some are pretty solid. We have a separate article talking about 6 good subnets. Here are another 6 subnets from TAO that we like:
SN 52: Tensorplex, The AI Agent Playground
Tensorplex focuses on AI collaboration and agent coordination. Tensorplex is building a structure for intelligent AI agents to collaborate in a decentralized environment; the core idea is to establish a multiplayer mode for AI. So, as more AI tools become autonomous, Tensorplex could power agent-to-agent communication and decision-making. Tensorplex is well-positioned to be one of the earliest infrastructures for AI agents.
Excited to see how we could scale such experiments further on @TensorplexLabs Dojo
We will evolve from humans with cybernetic assistants
to
Autonomous agent organisations with human assistants
Big problem to solve RE: collabn, delegation and arbitration but we’ll get there! https://t.co/TnBFgrOnH2

SN 1 Apex
Apex is focused on making AI models run faster and better. Managed by Macrocosmos, it’s especially interested in conversational agents. These are the kinds of AI that chat with you. The subnet rewards miners who can improve how these AI models respond and perform.
Apex also has a live app running multiple models. So far, the team is proving that their idea is beyond theoretical and has real-world use.
SN 5: OpenKaito
OpenKaito is another AI-focused project on TAO. This time, the focus is on the brainpower behind how AI understands language. OpenKaito is focused on developing text embedding models. With these models, AI can easily grasp the meaning and context of words. This makes AI super efficient for chat boxes, search engines, and other functions.
SN 68: Nova
Nova is an active part of the Bittensor network. It is a new project. So, the team is working on specifying its focus clearly. What we do know is that it’s contributing to the broader decentralized AI space. It could most likely be working on innovations or support tools for other subnets. So, it could be worth keeping tabs on.
Bittensor subnet tokens might become the next generational opportunity.
Kaito runs a Bittensor subnet called OpenKaito, which is the main tech behind InfoFi. Now, the alpha here is that all Bittensor subnets have recently been tokenized, and you can trade them against $TAO.… pic.twitter.com/3eeOwOQZLu

SN 18: Zeus
The last one on today’s list, Zeus, is another good subnet on TAO. Zeus is focused on climate. Backed by Ørpheus AI, this subnet is built to forecast environmental data using powerful models and real-world datasets. Zeus seeks to provide accurate predictions about the weather. That’s a game-changer for that industry.
Introducing Zeus
, SN 18 — Now on X! A subnet built by Ørpheus AI in partnership with BitMind to push climate forecasting beyond state-of-the-art models. Follow us for updates, insights, and progress as we set a new standard in meteorology. pic.twitter.com/SMOX5dVug9

Conclusion
Bittensor has an ecosystem brewing with supportive subnets. And these subnets are also lucrative and are a good investment option. However, we advise that you do your research.
