Foresight News reported on November 11, 2026, that the OpenTensor Foundation, in the Bittensor ecosystem, disclosed Gamma Tokens as a native payment mechanism.
Users and AI agents can use one Bittensor wallet to reach subnets that adopt the standard and to pay service fees. The arrangement does not require a separate account or an API key for each subnet.
Gamma payment credits are obtained with TAO or with the Alpha token of the relevant subnet. If TAO is used, the protocol buys and burns that subnet’s Alpha tokens in the same transaction and generates Gamma credits. If the payer already holds the matching Alpha tokens, those tokens can be burned directly to generate credits.
As reported, the mechanism ties fee access to creation of Gamma credits through an Alpha burn, either directly or after a same-transaction purchase with TAO. The notice does not give credit amounts, burn ratios, supply figures, or later redemption terms.
