Bittensor’s “Root Reborn” proposal would turn validators into fund managers

A proposal dubbed Root Reborn would reshape how Bittensor validators handle yield by reinvesting subnet proceeds instead of automatically selling them. Under the plan, validators would select baskets of subnets to support, resembling portfolio managers, while stakers could still convert returns back to TAO when they choose. The change would shift subnet economics by replacing persistent sell pressure with reinvestment flows.
