STAMFORD, Conn., July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MEXC launched TAO staking today, running on Yuma’s validator infrastructure. The launch expands TAO staking access to MEXC’s 40M+ users.
MEXC integrated infrastructure from Yuma, an operator focused exclusively on Bittensor. Because Yuma evaluates network performance firsthand and submits its own weights—a form of performance grading to achieve network consensus—TAO staked via MEXC earns rewards by supporting the strongest Bittensor contributors and enhancing the network’s overall health.
Bittensor is a decentralized AI protocol coordinating open-source AI development. Companies are building and deploying services built on Bittensor across many disciplines, including cybersecurity, financial intelligence, and AI model training. The protocol has emerged as a leading open-source ecosystem where builders and operators collaborate to develop and monetize AI capabilities at scale.
“Introducing millions of users to Bittensor takes broad distribution and high-quality infrastructure,” said Evan Malanga, Chief Revenue Officer at Yuma. “Our proprietary research enables Yuma to commit stake to rewarding the most productive and valuable subnets, enhancing the health of the Bittensor ecosystem. Our infrastructure now backs every MEXC user’s staked TAO, expanding access to the Bittensor network and supporting the open-source production of artificial intelligence.”
MEXC will support the launch with limited-time promotions to encourage network participation.
