Secure vault
Sealed by design.
Keys and identity live in a dedicated secure element. Nothing leaves the device without your signature.
EAL6+ element · keys stay local
Engineered for the open network
The network,
machined.
Tao Black is the first phone built for Bittensor. An open OS, a sealed vault, and a runtime for code you own.

The pillars
Three commitments.
Kept in hardware.
Native network
Bittensor, built in.
The network is not an app here. The OS speaks to subnets at the system level, as a peer.
System-level peer · always synced
Tao.Scripts
Code you own.
A JavaScript runtime inside the OS. Write a script, run it on your hardware, keep the result.
Runtime 1.0 · user root
Anatomy
Seven layers.
Nothing hidden.
Scroll to open the device. Every component is named, sourced, and serviceable.

Bittensor OS
An OS built
in the open.
Every layer is inspectable. Every interface is documented. The system asks for trust only where it has earned it. Your phone answers to you, then the network, then no one.
- Open source
- Documented interfaces
- User root
- Reproducible builds

Tao.Scripts
Your code,

Interfaces
Draw to the screen.
Render interactive UI straight to the display. Canvas, touch, and type are yours.
Compute
Use the engine.
Hand heavy work to the Neural Engine and read the result back in plain JavaScript.
APIs
Reach outward.
Call the network and external services, with explicit permission, every time.
