It will allow developers deploy and interact with Ethereum- based smart contracts on subtensor blockchain by combining AI and traditional decentralized finance (DeFi).

Bittensor TAO token has more than doubled from $293 to $673 since Sept 15. However, TAO has retraced since and is currently holding at a price of $592.24. It has a 24 hour trading volume of around $141,876,845 and a total market cap of $4,357,275,100. This shows it is no where near backing off from the big market scene.

People believe, the addition of EVM compatibility and smart contracts on Bittensor is a significant milestone, as it allows for a more interconnected DeFi ecosystem.
