With the advent of EVM on #Bittensor and the transition to real position sizing on our subnet, the Proprietary Trading Network (PTN), there will be a requirement for miners to use collateral in the coming weeks.

Adding collateral means that to be a miner on PTN, one must execute their trades with real funds. There are 4 primary purposes for implementing a collateral requirement on PTN:
- Risk Management
- Alignment of Incentives
- Capital Allocation, Margin, & Leverage
- Regulatory Compliance

If you’d like to learn more about our rationale for adding collateral, you can visit our documentation here:The amount of collateral a miner needs will be flexible and likely bring down registration costs on PTN, advancing our mission to reduce barriers to entry for traders. 

In the forthcoming weeks, we’ll provide details on how we plan to test the implementation of collateral on the EVM. Stay tuned!
