This Thursday on Novelty Search :: SN24 Quasar @QuasarModels is building decentralized foundation model training on Bittensor :: creating an open marketplace for training long-context AI models. SN24’s incentive mechanism :: Miners compete by training and publishing Quasar-compatible models, validators verify each model’s architecture and benchmark performance before challenging the current top model, and rewards flow to the highest-performing submissions. Thursday :: 9PM UTC / 5PM EDT Live via Bittensor Discord. Hosted by @const_reborn
Quasar is making a major long-term commitment to SN24 by fully locking approximately 130,000 Alpha in the owner wallet. We were among the earliest teams to test, support, and believe in this conviction. We are not here for short-term extraction. We are here to build, contribute, and remain fully aligned with the long-term success of SN24.
BNB Chain (BSC) RPC is now live on blockmachine. Same @BNBCHAIN JSON-RPC access you'd get from Alchemy or Infura, but roughly half the price. Free tier available. Read more ⬇️ blockmachine.io/blog/blockmach…
Big update: We’re thrilled to announce that Minotaur now supports Ethereum. This is the second chain added to our flagship DEX Aggregator, following our launch on Base, and it marks the beginning of Minotaur’s multichain expansion. Base gave us the first live environment to prove the system, harden the flow, and let miners improve the DEX Aggregator in production. Ethereum brings that same execution model into one of DeFi’s core liquidity environments. Minotaur lets users declare the outcome they want, while the Solving Engine handles the routing, liquidity, gas, and execution behind it. With Ethereum support live, miners are already improving coverage and pushing the DEX Aggregator toward stronger execution across a larger market. Soon, we will be integrating Bittensor EVM. We will keep expanding across more chains, routes, and DeFi environments as we build toward a generic intent execution layer for DeFi. One where execution keeps improving through miner competition.
New private track element: TCG Card Grading Launching Monday on SN44. Miners will grade trading cards from front and back images, scored against professional reference grades under the ACE Grading standard. Five categories, each scored independently: - Overall grade - Surface - Corners - Edges - Centering The dataset is predominantly Pokémon, but challenges will include other TCGs graded under ACE. Models that generalise win. Starter pack in comments 👇
ANNOUNCEMENT: Djinn (SN103) now auto-burns all its protocol fees. 🔥 This is the final step in the Djinn flywheel. Fees accrue as USDC on Base, get converted to TAO, staked into SN103, and burned. For the foreseeable future, 100% of fees will burn, at random times and sizes.
Now live: SN8 @VantaTrading is the fintech infrastructure layer on @bittensor Subnet 8, where traders, quants, and AI agents compete on onchain-verified performance scored on risk-adjusted returns. Start trading today → proapp.kraken.com/9f1e/SN8
Over the past several days, we've been working around the clock to understand the security incident that impacted the ORO subnet owner wallet on July 13th. First, the most important thing: the subnet is fully operational. The breach was contained to only the SN15 owner wallet, which had 147K Alpha Tokens transferred to the attacker. The team has worked closely with the @opentensor, @CrucibleLabs, @ConnitoAI, Crypto Exchanges, Law Enforcement, and members of the community to identify the root cause and have filed reports with the necessary authorities in an attempt to recover some of the funds that were stolen. We believe that the source of the breach was a team member’s computer that had been compromised and exfiltrated the owner wallet. The team is still gathering information to determine exactly how this happened. We do have evidence pointing to a single attacker behind both our and Connito's incidents. There is no evidence that the Crucible Wallet is the source of this attack. When we have more information, we will share the full post-mortem with the community to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else in Bittensor. When we bought the subnet slot, we'd decided both the validator and the owner wallet would sit on hardware wallets. In a coordination lapse, the owner key was set up as a software wallet instead. That was inexcusable, and it was our mistake. We are truly sorry for the impact this has had on our community and our supporters. This incident reinforced an important lesson for the team: building great products also requires continuously evolving our operational security. As part of that commitment, we've already implemented or are implementing: • A coldkey swap of SN15 ownership. • Multi-signature hardware protection for the subnet owner keys. • A Conviction lock on owner emissions. • Additional internal operational security controls and reviews. Our priority now is rebuilding the community's trust and continuing to ship improvements to the subnet. For those who have stuck by our side, we thank you for your continued support. The best is yet to come. Yours, ORO

Quasar training update 🚀 We are only around 10% into the current training run, and we are already seeing clear benchmark movement. Old Quasar → Since Training MMLU: 68.40% → 69.01% (+0.61) MMLU-Pro: 33.20% → 33.72% (+0.52) GPQA: 25.60% → 26.01% (+0.41) ARC Challenge: 63.00% → 64.10% (+1.10) ARC Easy: 80.10% → 83.96% (+3.86) PIQA: 81.90% → 81.50% (-0.40) HellaSwag: 74.00% → 74.79% (+0.79) OpenBookQA: 47.00% → 46.40% (-0.60) MATH-500: 71.40% → 72.26% (+0.86) It has only been two weeks since we started this training run, and we are still running with relatively low compute. As we add more compute support, we expect the training to scale further and the results to keep improving. Quasar is just getting started.
32.9B requests served in under 3 months live. Every one of them cryptographically verified before it reached a customer. That’s what decentralized RPC done right looks like.
Hello all, Apologies for the delay as I've just woken up to this. We are still here and not going anywhere. We’ve identified that ~2500 TAO was transferred out of the subnet owner account, and my personal twitter account, @isabella618033, has been deleted. We are still investigating what happened and working to understand the full scope of the issue. As mentioned we are still here and will continue building while we work through this. Stay tuned for updates as we figure this out. Thanks for your support
