TAO

xTAO is a liquid-staked derivative of Bittensor’s native TAO token, developed by General TAO Ventures as part of Project Rubicon. By bridging TAO to EVM-compatible networks like Base via Chainlink CCIP, xTAO unlocks deep liquidity and DeFi utility without sacrificing network staking yields. Holders of xTAO maintain full economic exposure to Bittensor's ecosystem, earning passive validator rewards while simultaneously gaining the ability to use their assets as collateral, trade on DEXs like Aerodrome, or participate in broader Web3 DeFi applications.
