Bittensor and Other AI Tokens
According to the project’s social media accounts, on Apr. 20, Bittensor demonstrated the functionality of Dynamic Tao (D-Tao). This event likely contributed to the growth observed on Apr. 21.
Dynamic Tao is designed to enhance the decentralization and distribution of TAO tokens. It aims to achieve a more precise distribution of rewards across subnets, mitigating instances of speculation among network validators.

The blockchain Bittensor is one of the notable crypto projects in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector. As previously reported, AI tokens have led the performance among various narratives, with a 23.21% increase since the beginning of May, according to Dune data.
The Arkham project was a significant growth leader during this period.
In contrast, Bittensor’s TAO token showed the worst performance among the top 20 AI tokens over the last 30 days. As of May 15, the token had lost 30.6% of its value.
By May 16, according to CoinGecko, TAO’s loss over the past 30 days had reduced to 17.8%. Despite this slight recovery, TAO remains the poorest performer in the AI token category during this period, even as the broader crypto market experiences growth.
