BitGo is pleased to announce support for staking TAO, the native token of Bittensor, through a new partnership with Yuma, a trusted infrastructure provider and leading validator on the Bittensor network.

This marks the latest expansion of BitGo’s institutional staking offerings—now bringing secure, compliant access to one of the most promising protocols at the intersection of AI and decentralized infrastructure.

What is Bittensor?

Bittensor is a decentralized intelligence network where thousands of participants collaborate to build, train, and validate AI models across independently operated subnets. TAO fuels the protocol’s incentive design, enabling participants to earn rewards and secure the network through staking.

As decentralized AI gains momentum, institutional interest in Bittensor continues to rise. BitGo now makes it easier for institutions to stake TAO—securely and at scale.

Powered by Yuma Validator

Yuma is a DCG company and premier validator on Bittensor. With a focus on security, performance, and transparency, Yuma’s validator infrastructure is built to meet the high standards of institutional clients. Its siloed architecture, real-time monitoring, and 24/7 uptime deliver best-in-class reliability.

“We built Yuma’s validator for partners like BitGo—institutions who demand security, transparency, and long-term integrity,” said Evan Malanga, Chief Revenue Officer at Yuma. “This partnership makes it easier than ever for institutions to stake TAO with confidence and gain exposure to decentralized intelligence.”

BitGo shares this commitment to institutional security and reliability. As interest in decentralized AI accelerates, access to trusted infrastructure like Yuma’s is essential.

“As demand grows for exposure to decentralized AI, BitGo is focused on delivering institutional-grade access to emerging ecosystems like Bittensor,” said Gbenga Omosuyi, Head of Strategic Partnerships at BitGo. “Our partnership with Yuma unlocks secure TAO staking for clients who require trusted infrastructure and regulated custody.”
