Bittensor First Halving event
Overview
Bittensor underwent its first halving in December 2025, cutting the network's block reward from 1 TAO to 0.5 TAO and daily issuance from about 7,200 TAO to about 3,600 TAO. Like Bitcoin, TAO has a hard cap of 21 million tokens, but Bittensor's halving is triggered by supply issuance rather than a fixed block interval: it occurs when half of the remaining unissued supply has been mined. The event roughly halved the network's annualised inflation rate.
