Forecasting and prediction tools are missing links in DeFi and Mode Network is trying to fill that gap.

In this episode, James Ross (co-founder of Mode and Synthdata) talks about building smarter forecasting systems for DeFi. We dig into how Mode is using BitTensor’s decentralised AI network to power real-time risk analysis, how agents could drive most on-chain activity in the future, and why better decision-making tools are critical for DeFi’s next evolution.

We also cover:

• Why forecasting short-term volatility matters

• How Synthdata's subnet incentivises accurate predictions

• The behavioural challenge of trusting agents with capital

• What still needs to be proven before these systems can scale👥 Guest: James Ross – Founder, Mode Network and SynthTower
