// Why $TAO Matters

$AION relies on Bittensor ( $TAO ). The backbone of its AI-powered predictions.
> Subnet 06 is purpose-built for prediction markets.
> $TAO is essential for powering inference and throughput, making it a non-negotiable resource.
> The team is already capturing $20M/year from $TAO emissions.

This ensures $AION can scale without external funding.
