Bittensor proposes Gamma tokens as a native payment system for its AI economy

Gamma tokens would let users and AI agents pay for subnet services with a Bittensor wallet, eliminating separate accounts and API keys. Credits are created by burning a subnet's alpha—either by paying TAO, which buys alpha first, or burning alpha already held. A burn valued at $100 creates 100 Gamma, with value fixed in dollars regardless of TAO or alpha price moves. Gamma cannot be transferred or converted back. Spending is on-chain and public; users can set daily limits and pause deductions. A proposal, pull request and release are linked.
