What users, developers, providers and future governance participants can do today, and what is only proposed. The economic layer is in development, and nothing financial is offered.

Providers and subnet miners
People who run a service, a subnet or a miner.
Now
Propose a service or subnet route
There is no formal onboarding for providers. If you run a service or subnet with a documented API that could answer a kind of question, write to contact@taonic.tech with its documentation. TAONIC pays providers as a customer; that is not a partnership.
TAONIC does not operate a Bittensor subnet. Mining participation occurs through external subnets under their own registration, scoring and reward systems; there is nothing to mine on TAONIC, and each subnet pays its own miners.
Later1 part not available yet: Provider incentives
Provider incentives◇PROPOSEDAn earlier token proposal set aside a share for ecosystem and provider incentives. It is archived and not adopted. No program, terms or payment exists, and any provider allocation would need a written agreement.

Future governance participants
People following the proposed economic layer.
Now
Inspect status
Every component of TAONIC with its state and the evidence behind it, from the gateway to the parts of the economic design that are not deployed.
Later5 parts not available yet: TAON token, Governance, Staking, Reserve participation, Liquidity provision
TAON token×NOT DEPLOYEDA proposed token, not deployed. Holding it in a wallet would give nothing: no claim on any reserve and no yield. Under the 2026-11-05 proposal, staked TAON would share only TAO that has already arrived in a reward vault; no vault exists and the owner has not adopted that proposal. $TAON is a proposed ticker and is not deployed.
Governance◇PROPOSEDA signer-controlled multisig behind a proposed 7-day timelock (designed, not deployed; the prototype contract enforces only a 1-day minimum). Signers and threshold are an owner decision; no signer set exists, and there is no public governance role, vote or delegation to take part in.
Staking×NOT DEPLOYEDTwo records disagree, and neither is adopted: the 2026-09-25 design has no staking, claims or holder yield in version one; the 2026-11-05 proposal adds a staking vault that would stream TAO already in a reward vault. No staking contract is deployed.
Reserve participation×NOT DEPLOYEDNot available. No onchain reserve exists, and no TAO has been acquired.
Liquidity provision×NOT DEPLOYEDNot available. No TAON / TAO pool exists, and version one proposes protocol-owned liquidity only.

Common questions
Is TAONIC a Bittensor subnet?
No. TAONIC is an intelligence router: it sends each question to a provider or Bittensor subnet service built for that kind of work (Numinous on subnet 6, Desearch on subnet 22, Synth on subnet 50, engy on subnet 53, Chutes on subnet 64).
Does asking a question cost or earn anything?
No. Asking is free while charging is off, and a question neither costs nor pays out any TAO.
Is the economic layer live?
No, it is in development. The TAONIC product software exists. The financial protocol is not yet deployed. Every part of it is listed above with its state. Read the proposed loop →
Disclosure
TAONIC, pronounced Tao-nik, is an independent intelligence router, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Bittensor Foundation, Robinhood Markets, Inc., or any provider it routes to. It is not a Bittensor subnet and performs no validator, miner or emissions role. No audit has been performed. $TAON · PROPOSED. TAONIC’s intelligence gateway is live. Its economic layer is in development: the TAON token, a TAON/TAO market, a reserve and staking are not deployed. Not an offer, solicitation or financial advice.
