The Liquidity Provisioning subnet (SN106) is a dedicated Bittensor subnet launched by the VoidAI team to coordinate on-chain liquidity for Bittensor’s alpha tokens via Solana’s DeFi ecosystem. Its mission is to bring “verifiable, sustainable liquidity” to subnet tokens by bridging Bittensor with Solana. VoidAI’s documentation emphasizes cross-chain interoperability – for example, it explicitly notes a secure bridge and a wrapped-TAO (wTAO) token to enable TAO to move across chains and unlock liquidity. In practice, SN106 uses the wTAO token on Solana for liquidity provisioning; the VoidAI docs state that wTAO is used “for token bridging and liquidity provisioning on Solana-compatible DeFi ecosystems”. In other words, SN106’s role in the ecosystem is to link Bittensor’s native currency (TAO) with Solana liquidity pools (e.g. Raydium), turning passive liquidity into a measured Bittensor commodity.
In Bittensor’s model, each subnet issues its own alpha token and has an automated market maker (AMM) with TAO and alpha reserves. SN106 follows this pattern but uses liquidity-provided assets instead of direct TAO staking. More broadly, the subnet’s economics mirror the standard Dynamic TAO model: stake TAO to mint alpha tokens and determine a token price by the TAO/alpha reserve ratio. Unlike a traditional token-generation subnet (where miners train AI models), SN106’s “commodity” is liquidity itself. Its validators verify and score liquidity contributions, and block emissions (τ) are distributed to participants by performance within SN106. In short, SN106’s purpose is to integrate Bittensor staking with Solana liquidity pools to ensure ongoing, protocol-owned depth for subnet tokens, as envisioned by VoidAI’s cross-chain vision.

Like all Bittensor subnets, SN106 uses a miner-validator architecture: miners perform the task defined by the subnet and validators independently check their work. In SN106, a miner’s “work” is providing on-chain liquidity, and a validator’s work is confirming that liquidity. The steps are roughly as follows:
Provide Liquidity: A miner deposits a pair of tokens on Solana’s Raydium AMM pool – specifically wTAO (wrapped Bittensor TAO on Solana) paired with the subnet’s asset (often referred to as wLP or wALPHA). In return the miner receives AMM LP tokens representing their share of the pool.
Stake LP Tokens: The miner then stakes those Raydium LP tokens into a special stake contract on Solana. Staking in this contract signals to the network that the miner is actively maintaining liquidity.
Validate & Score: SN106’s validator nodes observe both chains. They “sample” on-chain data to verify each miner’s deposits (checking the size and uptime of each staked LP position). Each validator assigns a performance score to each miner based on the verified contribution. This is analogous to how validators score neural-work in other subnets.
Consensus & Rewards: The matrix of validator scores is fed to Bittensor’s Yuma consensus (on-chain). Based on those scores, TAO emissions (and any SN106 alpha tokens) are distributed proportionally to miners and validators. In other words, real, sustained liquidity providers earn rewards, while temporary or no-show contributions earn nothing.
This mechanism transforms liquidity pools from passive AMMs into an incentivized, accountable system. (VoidAI describes that SN106 validators “actively verify liquidity contributions and pay out emissions to miners” proportional to value added.) Because SN106 follows Bittensor’s standard reward logic, miners can earn TAO by staking liquidity, and validators earn TAO for securing SN106.
Product Components and Interfaces
SN106’s implementation involves multiple pieces of infrastructure across chains:
Cross-Chain Bridge & wTAO: The core component is a trustless bridge between Bittensor and Solana. VoidAI’s documentation specifies a wTAO SPL token on Solana (with a known contract address) that represents TAO on-chain. A Bridge Wrapper program (identified by a public key) handles lock-and-mint and unwrap operations. In practice, users can convert TAO↔wTAO via this bridge.
Raydium Liquidity Pools: On Solana, SN106 uses Raydium AMM pools. Miners deposit wTAO and the subnet’s second token (wLP or wALPHA) into these pools. The Raydium interface is the standard LP provider UI, but now with the SN106 tokens.
Staking Smart Contract: A custom Solana program accepts LP tokens and stakes them on behalf of miners. This contract keeps track of who has staked how much liquidity. (By staking LP tokens, miners earn SN106 “worker” rewards.)
Bittensor Subnet: On the Bittensor side, SN106 is a registered subnet (netuid 106) in the Dynamic TAO system. It has its own alpha token (symbol $LP). Standard Bittensor tools (e.g. the Subtensor node software, BTCLI, Python SDK) can interact with SN106 as with any subnet. For instance, users can stake or delegate TAO to SN106 validators via BTCLI to support security, or use dashboards (like taostats, Backprop’s dTAO terminal, etc.) to monitor SN106’s reserves.
APIs and Dashboards: While there is no dedicated app published by VoidAI at launch, community tools can interface with SN106. The dTAO Terminal (Backprop) shows SN106 trading, staking and performance metrics. Block explorers such as Taostats (which lists SN106 data) and Corcel can display deposits and emissions. VoidAI’s own APIs may extend these features as development progresses.
Together, these components let TAO holders provide liquidity to SN106 and earn rewards in a fully on-chain manner. All pieces are based on well-known technologies: Solana smart contracts (Bridge, staking, AMM), and Bittensor’s native protocol (Subtensor consensus, dynamic TAO accounting).
Technical Architecture
SN106’s architecture spans two blockchains. On the Bittensor side, it follows the usual subnet model: a Subtensor node (running Yuma consensus) records validators’ scores and distributes block emissions. On the Solana side, it uses Raydium pools and staking programs. Crucially, SN106 relies on cross-chain messaging: validator nodes must access Solana data to verify LP deposits. VoidAI’s cross-chain design emphasizes this synchronization. In practice, SN106 validators may use on-chain oracles or the Bridge’s events to “sample” Solana state. The secure bridge and messaging infrastructure ensure that TAO balances and LP stakes on Solana are correctly reflected for SN106’s consensus.
Under the hood, SN106 effectively forms a hybrid AMM. The subnet’s local TAO reserve and the total LP supply follow the Dynamic TAO formula: users stake TAO to mint LP tokens, and LP price is set by TAO/LP reserves. But unlike standard subnets, SN106’s LP token is backed by actual liquidity on Raydium. From a protocol perspective, nothing exotic is needed: the Bittensor chain handles consensus and reward logic, while Solana handles asset custody and accounting. Bridging and cross-chain messages (as outlined in VoidAI’s docs) tie it together. The result is a multi-chain pipeline where Solana’s high-throughput DeFi (Raydium) provides the pools, and Bittensor’s on-chain consensus records and rewards contributions.

SN106 is a VoidAI-led initiative. Official announcements have come from the VoidAI X account (@v0idai). However, there is no separate publicly disclosed “SN106 team” apart from the VoidAI group. What is clear is that VoidAI’s core team and supporters are spearheading the development of the Liquidity Provisioning subnet.

As of mid-2025, SN106 has just been registered and launched. On-chain data shows SN106’s registration date (netuid 106) around May 2025, and its initial parameters have been published. Beyond the launch announcement, no detailed public roadmap or timeline has yet been released. It appears SN106 is in an early live phase: the bridge and wTAO contracts exist, and documentation (as noted above) is available, but usage may still be limited. Future milestones (such as additional DeFi integrations, UI releases, or further optimizations) have not been explicitly announced. Interested users are watching official VoidAI channels for updates, but until then the ongoing development plans for SN106 remain undisclosed.

Novelty Search is great, but for most investors trying to understand Bittensor, the technical depth is a wall, not a bridge. If we’re going to attract investment into this ecosystem then we need more people to understand it! That’s why Siam Kidd and Mark Creaser from DSV Fund have launched Revenue Search, where they ask the simple questions that investors want to know the answers to.
Recorded in September 2025, this Revenue Search episode features Hansel, also known as Zoro, owner of Subnets 27 and 106, to discuss his project Void AI. Hansel shares his journey from being an early Bittensor miner and validator to building one of the first open-source apps on the network, and now tackling interoperability with Void AI. The project enables Tao and subnet tokens to be bridged to chains like Solana and Ethereum, making them tradable on platforms such as Radium and Uniswap with lower slippage through concentrated liquidity pools. Hansel explains how this unlocks capital, reduces barriers for new users, and allows builders to integrate Bittensor assets into broader DeFi ecosystems. The conversation covers miner incentives in Subnet 106, revenue streams from bridge fees, trading fees, staking rewards, and an upcoming arbitrage bot—all feeding into a buyback-driven flywheel to strengthen the token. Hansel also outlines plans to expand via Chainlink CCIP, integrate with Coinbase’s base chain, and scale liquidity across multiple networks as Bittensor grows.

Recorded October 2025: Mark Jeffrey interviews Hansel Melo of Void AI about making Bittensor subnet alpha tokens accessible on mainstream chains via wrapped tokens and a cross-chain bridge. Melo explains how Void routes all swaps through wrapped TAO pairs so the core “stake TAO → mint alpha” rule is preserved under the hood, while users trade on familiar rails like Solana (Raydium/Phantom) and, next, Ethereum and Base. A key focus is solving poor LP incentives on BitTensor’s V2-style pools: subnet 106 (Void) rewards concentrated-liquidity (v3) LPs with 106 emissions, while bridge and trading fees are used to buy back 106—so LPs capture fees, emissions, and indirect “staking value,” even with impermanent loss. Current Solana pools are live; users can also bridge back to native TAO/alpha to stake normally. On security, Melo contrasts past bridge hacks with Chainlink’s CCIP standard; Void’s Solana bridge is audited today and will migrate to CCIP by launching an Ethereum bridge (early November) and then routing Solana/Base (and other chains) through CCIP, ultimately disabling the home-rolled Solana bridge. The roadmap ends with governance so 106 holders can vote which subnets and chains to support, aiming to bring BitTensor tokens—and liquidity—into broader DeFi.
