Introduction

Getting started

First steps for newcomers — what Bittensor is, what the Tensorbox subnet does, and how to participate.

What is Bittensor?

Bittensor is a permissionless network for machine intelligence. Instead of a single company training a single model, Bittensor splits the work across many small economies called subnets. In each subnet:

  • Miners produce outputs against a specific task.
  • Validators score those outputs against the subnet's evaluation function.
  • The protocol distributes TAO emissions to whoever actually moves the needle.

Nobody picks a winner. The market does.

Where Tensorbox fits

Tensorbox is one of those subnets. The full pitch is in the About page; the short version is that we focus on [subnet thesis — TBD] and we built this site as the operator interface around the subnet.

You don't need to be a miner or validator to use this site. The marketing pages, this documentation, and the public telemetry are all open. The portal at /app is where authenticated operators see their own data.

Three paths from here

  1. You want to understand what we built. Read Architecture for the subnet design.
  2. You want to run a miner or validator. Read Mining and Validating.
  3. You want to integrate with the subnet from another app. Read API reference.

A note on this documentation

These docs are deliberately small. We'd rather maintain a tight set of high-quality pages than ship a wall of outdated text. If something here is wrong or missing, open an issue on the repo and we'll fix it.
