A new Bittensor proposal would turn validators into something like fund managers
Root Reborn would have TAO validators pick which subnets to back and reinvest yield into, rather than constantly selling subnet tokens to pay stakers. It is a code proposal in review, not a live change.

Summary
- A new Bittensor proposal called Root Reborn would overhaul how yield is paid to TAO stakers by turning validators into active allocators of capital across AI subnets.
- Instead of automatically selling subnet tokens for TAO each block, validators would reinvest rewards into selected subnets, creating compounding baskets that stakers can still cash out to TAO at any time.
- The code, currently submitted for a test network on GitHub, has already undergone an automated review that flagged two serious issues the author says are now fixed, with further cleanup planned before any mainnet release.
