MEXC has launched TAO staking for users across more than 170 countries, with the new product powered by validator infrastructure from Yuma.
The rollout gives MEXC’s more than 40 million users a new way to stake TAO directly through the exchange, while routing that stake through one of the larger validator operators in the Bittensor ecosystem. Yuma said the partnership combines MEXC’s global distribution with its own Bittensor-native research, validation, and infrastructure.
“Introducing millions of users to Bittensor takes broad distribution and high-quality infrastructure,” said Evan Malanga, Chief Revenue Officer at Yuma. “Our proprietary research enables Yuma to commit stake to rewarding the most productive and valuable subnets, enhancing the health of the Bittensor ecosystem. Our infrastructure now backs every MEXC user’s staked TAO, expanding access to the Bittensor network and supporting the open-source production of artificial intelligence.”
Yuma evaluates subnet performance directly and submits its own weights, which are used to help determine how emissions are allocated across the network. According to the announcement, TAO staked through MEXC will be supported by that infrastructure, allowing users to earn staking rewards while backing the subnets Yuma identifies as the strongest contributors.
MEXC said it will support the launch with limited-time promotions aimed at encouraging network participation. The exchange serves more than 40 million users across 170+ markets and lists more than 3,000 digital assets.
For Yuma, the integration creates another staking access point for TAO holders and extends its validator infrastructure to a global exchange audience.
“Bittensor TAO staking is now live for all MEXC users,” Yuma wrote in its announcement. “MEXC brings global distribution and reach; Yuma brings deep Bittensor expertise and infrastructure.”
