Mark and Siam interview Atlas, the founder behind Mantis (Subnet 123) - Mantis doesn’t just score miners on their raw predictions. Instead, it measures the information value of their embeddings - rewarding miners whose signals improve the ensemble accuracy of market forecasts.
Atlas walks us through:
How a teenager in Costa Rica went from mining Ethereum without home internet to launching one of Bittensor’s most ambitious subnets.
Why Mantis is starting with BTCUSD forecasting but already expanding into forex and metals.
The challenge of turning emissions into real-world revenue - from PTN integration to potential hedge fund partnerships.
How verifiable, time-locked blockchain logging could make signals truly transparent.
If you want to understand how Bittensor is spawning the next generation of quant infrastructure this is one to tune into.
