The OpenTensor Foundation, part of the Bittensor ecosystem, announced Gamma Tokens, a native payment mechanism. According to Foresight News, users and AI agents can use the same Bittensor wallet to access participating subnets and pay for services, without creating separate accounts or obtaining API keys for each subnet.
Users can obtain Gamma payment credits with TAO or the corresponding subnet’s Alpha tokens. When TAO is used, the protocol buys and burns that subnet’s Alpha tokens in the same transaction to generate credits; holders of the corresponding Alpha tokens can burn them directly to generate credits.
