Several recent developments in Bittensor support TAO’s price rally. Four key projects are building on TAO:
- AIT, the world’s first AI data infrastructure
- KIZUNA, an ERC-20 decentralized AI token
- ROKO, a protocol building reality augmenting simulations
- TPAD, a Bittensor focused launchpad for projects
These projects are launched in order of market capitalization and not all have launched yet. However, crypto experts are keeping their eyes peeled for developments in Bittensor as projects line up for release in the coming weeks and months.

Feel like my AI bags are going to continue to drastically over perform vs the rest of my portfolio.
