The AQSE-listed company says Astrid Vault will reduce selling pressure across the Bittensor ecosystem by incentivising long-term token lock-ups
Astrid Intelligence PLC (AQSE:ASTR), the artificial intelligence infrastructure company listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE), has launched a new on-chain platform, which it says will improve liquidity conditions across the Bittensor decentralised AI network.
Bittensor is a blockchain-based network that hosts multiple AI "subnets," each with its own token, creating fragmented liquidity pools that can be prone to sharp price swings when holders exit positions.
Astrid Vault, which went live this week, offers holders of any Bittensor subnet token the option to deposit and lock up their holdings for an extended period rather than selling into open markets.
In exchange for committing tokens to the vault, depositors receive a discounted allocation of Astrid's own Subnet 127 tokens, with the size of the allocation determined by preset algorithmic rules that are visible on-chain.
The company says the arrangement is designed to reduce the short-term selling pressure that can destabilise subnet markets by converting what might otherwise be immediate disposals into structured, long-term commitments.
Astrid believes the vault will deepen its integration across multiple subnets and expand its footprint within the broader Bittensor ecosystem.
The board added that it expects infrastructure solutions focused on coordination and stability to grow in importance as decentralised AI networks scale.
The company said it would publish adoption metrics and further updates in due course.
