# Bittensor

## One line

Bittensor is a decentralized, open network that operates a peer-to-peer market for machine intelligence, rewarding contributors with its native token TAO.

## Segments

Developer tools, L1 / L2

## What we do

Bittensor runs an open network of independent subnets where machine learning models rank one another peer-to-peer, and contributors are paid in TAO based on the informational value they provide to the network. Validators and miners participate through a blockchain-based incentive mechanism designed to resist collusion of up to 50 percent of network weight. Users can interact with the network via a Python SDK and a command-line tool called btcli to create wallets, stake TAO, mine, validate, and run subnets.
