Bittensor: eTAO activates subnet emission split controls - 20 Oct 2026

Bittensor activates eTAO on 20 Oct 2026, letting subnet owners set how alpha emissions are split among owners, validators and miners within protocol limits. Existing subnets keep their current split until their owners choose to change it.Root TAO stakers keep their baseline share before the subnet allocations are made. This protects TAO staking rewards while allowing subnet owners to adjust the incentives for the participants in their subnet.Introducing eTAO: a new system giving subnets control over their alpha emission split.Subnet owners can now decide how much goes to miners, validators, and themselves, based on the specific needs of their subnet.
