Inspect is the first protocol for the Bittensor network, created to serve as Bittensor’s native DeFi and financial infrastructure. The network operates as an Ethereum optimistic rollup via the Optimistic Rollup tech stack. It enables real economic activity around Bittensor’s TAO token by introducing liquidity, leverage, stablecoins, and mining capabilities on top of the core network.
