TaoStatus subnet coordinates three distinct roles, miner, validator, and protocol, around a single objective: allowing miners to contribute spare large-language-model (LLM) API capacity to a shared pool, and rewarding them on-chain in proportion to how reliably that capacity is actually used.
model the marginal economics before you burn the registration fee — live chain numbers, your assumptions
drag to model your setup
expected marginal economics for one more miner
Hardware, power and skill are your assumptions — everything else (emission, alpha price, pool depth, registration burn, active-miner competition) is read live from subtensor. Paused or zero-emission subnets will always model to “not worth it” because there is genuinely nothing to mine.
