# Alpha Tokens

Alpha tokens are the native tokens of Bittensor subnets. Each subnet on the Bittensor network has a tradeable token whose price fluctuates based on subnet demand, performance, and market sentiment.

MegaTAO enables perpetual futures trading on these tokens. You deposit TAO as collateral and take leveraged positions on Alpha token price movements.

## Supported Markets

MegaTAO supports perpetual futures on 12 Alpha tokens:

| Market    | Subnet |
| --------- | ------ |
| CHUTES    | SN64   |
| LIUM      | SN51   |
| RIDGES    | SN62   |
| TARGON    | SN4    |
| VANTA     | SN8    |
| AFFINE    | SN120  |
| TEMPLAR   | SN3    |
| SCORE     | SN44   |
| IOTA      | SN9    |
| GRADIENTS | SN56   |
| HIPPIUS   | SN75   |
| BITMIND   | SN34   |

All markets share the same parameters:

| Parameter          | Value      |
| ------------------ | ---------- |
| Max Leverage       | 5x         |
| Maintenance Margin | 10%        |
| Trading Fee        | 0.25%      |
| Collateral         | Native TAO |

## Pricing

Alpha token prices are derived from on-chain pool reserves using a dedicated price oracle contract. The oracle reads directly from Bittensor's Alpha token precompile, ensuring prices reflect actual on-chain liquidity. No off-chain price feeds are used.

## One position per market

Each trader can hold at most one position per market at a time. Position IDs are deterministically derived from the trader address and market address.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.megatao.com/core/alpha-tokens.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
