Subnet Session with Atlas from Mantis: SN123

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.
