Project of the Day
Bittensor
Bittensor ($TAO) is making waves in the world of decentralized machine learning with its open-source protocol. Powering a network where machine learning models train collaboratively, contributors are rewarded in $TAO based on the value they bring to the collective. Beyond its internal workings, $TAO also offers external access, allowing users to tap into the network’s wealth of information and customize its activities to suit their needs.
In terms of price movements, $TAO is currently trading near $650, with a market cap exceeding $4.3 billion, down from its recent all-time high of approximately $750. Interestingly, the project’s price fluctuations demonstrate a negative correlation with the top 10 coins by market cap. This trend, combined with the recent surge in TAO’s price and trading volume, indicates a growing interest in the project among investors and enthusiasts alike.
