Cross-chain protocol Wormhole has brought Bittensor's native TAO token to the Solana ecosystem, expanding decentralized finance trading options for AI-linked tokens.

The Block reported on May 5 that Wormhole had bridged a canonical version of the Bittensor TAO token for trading on the Solana network.

The token can now trade like a native asset across major Solana DeFi platforms and wallets. Instead of using a conventional wrapped-token model, the structure locks or burns tokens on the original chain and issues them on Solana to preserve key properties.

The bridge was implemented through Wormhole Labs' Sunrise platform. The platform is designed to connect assets from other blockchains to Solana and secure liquidity from the start.

The project said TAO's direct use on Solana could help AI assets integrate more fully into the DeFi ecosystem.

The move highlights growing cross-chain asset mobility and the broader expansion of use cases for AI-based tokens.
