- The price of TAO has increased by 10% today, March 24, 2026.
- Targon subnet gains power.
- Targon’s growth increases the demand for TAO, as the high usage, downtime, and network services within Bittensor directly contribute to today’s price increases.
The Bittensor TAO token, rose more than 10% today, March 24, 2026, according to CoinMarketCap. With this operation, the token has managed to hit the $305 mark and the explosion has exceeded the 2.47% profit of Bitcoin. This momentum confirms the power dynamics of the secret AI community, with Bittensor becoming known as the permanent AI leader.
At press time, the price of the token stands at $306.80 with an increase of 10.22% in the last 24 hours as CoinMarketCap price.
The signs of increase from the exchange process and about 115% the amount of sales to $666 million confirm the real interest of the buyers, reduce the pressure of sale and increase the increase.
Targon’s Confidential Compute Whitepaper Goes With Intel Collaboration
For a year in the making, Bittensor Subnet 4, Targon, was revealed yesterday March 23, 2026, on the X media platform, a detailed white paper written by Intel experts.
The paper, “Decentralized Compute on Untrusted Hardware Using Intel® TDX and Encrypted CVMs,” addresses the critical challenge of running trusted AI applications on untrusted systems. It also provides Trusted encryption facilities (TEEs).
We needed to run reliable services on unreliable systems.
So a year ago, we started building the Targon Virtual Machine to help private TEEs create.
Today we are sharing our white paper on writing together @intel: Decentralized Compute on Untrusted… pic.twitter.com/Yi1dAiYwK0

The Targon platform supports Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) and NVIDIA Confidential Computing to create secure VMs on virtual machines. Agents do not appear in data, model weights, GPU memory, or disks, ensuring ironclad privacy even for malicious users with access to control the hypervisor.
The system keeps things secure by using different encryption for each provider, regularly checking that everything is running on trusted devices, and blocking access to other systems from being copied or moved anywhere else. It also checks security every 72 minutes to keep you safe. All of this adds up to one strong proof that the system is genuine and safe.
The system is already being used on a large scale. It runs on more than 1,500 powerful GPUs, handles more than 20 billion AI requests every day and pays out more than $60 million a year to people who provide computing power.
Jesus Martinez Highlights Intel Engineer’s Validation on X
Crypto influencer Jesus Martinez wrote X and put a lot of light on the white paper.
Bittensor subnet just released a white paper written by Intel. Not a “declaration of cooperation.” Not a mark on the slide. Two Intel engineers put their names on it.
– Jesus Martinez
In his tweet, he breaks down the threat model of Targon, assuming that it is the attackers who control hypervisors, snapshot VMs, or collude, but the architecture remains strong.
Martinez calls it the solution to the limitations of computing. He also said that no one can run AI problems on machines they don’t control. Targon’s growth and support includes the scale and support of Manifold, including Manifold’s $10.5 million Series A from OSS Capital and early Google investor Ram Shriram. For Bittensor fans, this is business credibility that no standard logo can match.
Targon’s Momentum Supercharges Bittensor’s (TAO) Ecosystem Growth
Targon’s rise directly pushes Bittensor’s value proposition, where machine learning networks with subnets like Targon compete. TAO performance-based emissions.
On-chain authentication metrics show Subnet 4’s motivations, and its secret to creating a high-quality AI design that requires privacy. This drives the demand for TAO as miners are motivated to participate in the subnet and users buy access.
Bittensor’s dashboard and Dune Analytics confirm Targon’s edge. It can handle ~15-20% of the network’s fuel consumption between different types of growth. As agents and AI models move to a more stable, stable security, Targon’s 20B+ daily tokens translate to real financial transactions, locking TAO into sloppy pools and increasing token velocity.
Bullish on-chain trends are consistent with this trend, positioning Bittensor to outperform most cryptocurrencies.
