OpenTensor Foundation announces Gamma payment mechanism

The OpenTensor Foundation of the Bittensor ecosystem has announced the native payment mechanism Gamma Tokens. Users and AI agents will be able to use the same Bittensor wallet to access subnets that adopt this standard and pay service fees without needing to register separate accounts or apply for API keys for each subnet.

Users can obtain Gamma payment credits using TAO or the corresponding subnet's Alpha tokens. If using TAO, the protocol will buy and destroy the subnet's Alpha tokens in the same transaction to generate Gamma credits; if already holding the corresponding Alpha tokens, they can be directly destroyed to generate credits.
