Emission Formula Upgrade

High8.0

◆ Description

Bittensor upgrades its core incentive system, making subnet emission depend on root_prop × price × (1 - miner_burn). The change also replaces the prior TaoFlow netflow-based mechanism.

◆ Why it matters

This changes TAO’s reward engine at the protocol level, altering how emissions are distributed across subnets and what the market expects from network participation economics. Because it replaces the prior mechanism with a new formula tied to price and miner burn, it creates a durable repricing of incentive flows rather than a routine technical update.
