TAO arbitrage explained

Right now Bittensor (TAO) trades on 11 venues we scan: 11 perpetual markets, 6 spot markets and 0 DEX pools. The lowest ask is on Variational perp at $284.79 and the highest bid on Aster perp at $285.41.

The widest TAO perpetual spread is between Variational and Aster: long TAO on Variational at $284.79 and short on Aster at $285.41 for +0.22% gross, or +0.06% after the 0.16% two-leg fee model. No transfer is needed: both positions stay on their exchanges until the prices converge. The funding difference on this pair is +0.000% per day, which the position collects while it is open.

For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best TAO route is to buy spot on Gate and short the perpetual on Aster: +0.08% gross, -0.12% net, with +0.030% a day of funding on the short leg.

Spot–spot TAO arbitrage (buy on Gate, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows +0.04% gross right now. It only works if withdrawals on the buying exchange and deposits on the selling exchange are open, so check the D/W dots before moving coins.

Small TAO gaps usually disappear after fees, slippage and funding. Look at the Net column, the executable Depth and the spread history before trading: a gap that has been open for days is a different trade from a one-minute spike.
