Bittensor's TAO on Solana — a wrapped representation of the token behind the decentralized machine-learning network, at mint taoC6xyv2v8tDLcev4uaGUgV4vdQsWJrGft2kcBRrBY. The October 6, 2026 snapshot shows about $549 thousand of liquidity and roughly 11,422 holders.
Bittensor is one of crypto's more substantive experiments: TAO pays a network of subnets that compete to produce useful machine intelligence — model training, inference, agents — with emissions allocated by measured contribution. Whether the economics work is a live debate; that the network is real and used is not.
The Solana token is a bridge claim on native TAO, which lives on Bittensor's own chain — so the same custody caveat applies as every wrapped asset: the underlying sits in the bridge's hands, and this token is as good as that custody. For TAO exposure inside Solana DeFi it's the available instrument; for direct exposure, native TAO on its own chain or major exchanges is the primary venue.
Note also that "wTAO" variants exist — several bridged representations of TAO circulate under different tickers and mints; the one on this page is taoC6xyv2v8tDLcev4uaGUgV4vdQsWJrGft2kcBRrBY. Verify the full string. Snapshot October 6, 2026.

FAQ
Is TAO a safe token?
As of the 2026-09-26 snapshot, TAO scores 100/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on unconfirmed mint authority, renounced freeze authority, liquidity of $548.94K and 11,422 holders. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell TAO, or is it a honeypot?
On Solana, the lever that can block a sale is the freeze authority, and TAO's is renounced as of 2026-09-26 — no one can freeze your balance to trap you in. With $548.94K of liquidity there's a pool to sell into, though how cleanly depends on your size against that depth.
Who holds most of TAO?
TAO has 11,422 holders as of 2026-09-26. A headline count doesn't reveal how much the largest wallets control, so read it with the concentration figure on this page — broad distribution is a good sign, a few wallets owning most of the supply is not.
Can TAO's supply be inflated?
The mint authority state couldn't be confirmed from the 2026-09-26 snapshot — verify it with a live scan before relying on the supply being fixed.
What is the TAO contract address?
The TAO mint address on Solana is taoC6xyv2v8tDLcev4uaGUgV4vdQsWJrGft2kcBRrBY. Always verify a token by its contract address, not its name or ticker — scam clones copy tickers, but the address is unique.
Where can you buy TAO safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if TAO clears, you can swap it here directly. Whatever venue you use, match the contract address (taoC6xyv2v8tDLcev4uaGUgV4vdQsWJrGft2kcBRrBY) exactly before trading — copying the ticker is how clone scams catch buyers, and the address is the one field they can't fake.
