<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>CookingTAO (SN122)</strong> has officially <strong>opened mining</strong> on its Bittensor subnet, <strong>with a 30% incentive burn</strong> currently applied to emissions. The project noted that <strong>the burn will gradually fall to 0%</strong> as more developers submit miner code that users can access and run through the platform.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>CookingTAO (SN122)</strong> is building infrastructure designed to make Bittensor mining easier to access. Its platform <strong>lets users deploy and manage miners across subnets</strong>, while <strong>developers can submit mining code</strong> and <strong>earn based on the performance of users running it</strong>.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="413" src="https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/image-283-1024x413.png" alt="" class="wp-image-25104" style="aspect-ratio:2.4761904761904763;width:624px;height:auto" srcset="https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/image-283-1024x413.png 1024w, https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/image-283-300x121.png 300w, https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/image-283-766x309.png 766w, https://taodaily.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/image-283.png 1892w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://cookingtao.com/#how-it-works">Steps to Mining SN122</a></figcaption></figure> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The current 30% burn therefore ties directly into the platform’s developer ecosystem. As more usable miner implementations become available, <strong>CookingTAO</strong> plans <strong>to reduce the portion of incentives burned</strong> until the rate reaches zero.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The launch follows several recent milestones for SN122, including the release of <a href="https://taodaily.io/cookingtao-sn122s-whitepaper-details-its-tao-mining-marketplace-and-incentive-model/">its incentive mechanism documentation</a>, a beta phase covering a limited number of subnets, and the opening of full emissions.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="embed-x"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Emissions are now fully open on <a href="https://x.com/CookingTao_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CookingTao_</a> SN122!<br><br>For Validators:<br>> Register your validator on SN122 and follow our Validator Setup Guide.<br>> Run with –plan-weights first.
