Synth Subnet - Inside Synth’s Accuracy Surge
IntroductionThis report provides a focused assessment of recent progress in the Synth subnet, where miners forecast BTC’s return distribution every day. Over the past month, the subnet has seen a major shift: miners prioritizing volatility accuracy have rapidly climbed the leaderboards, outperforming more complex models that previously held top positions. We analyze the performance of these top miners across multiple metrics, volatility, intraday variation, and kurtosis, using data from June ...

Synth Subnet - Miners Performance Commentary #20
Data From 2025-07-21 To 2025-07-27Synth RewardsWith the current value of Synth Alpha, Synth paid 20,694 Alpha tokens to miners last week, equivalent to $59,599. Since March 2025, a total of 448,640 Alpha tokens have been distributed to miners, worth $1,292,083. On a monthly average since March 2025, Synth has paid $258,417 to miners, exceeding Numerai’s average monthly payout of $197,554.BTC, ETH, and XAU VolatilityFigure 1 illustrates hourly log returns and volatility for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethe...

The creation and use of synthetic price data has traditionally been dominated by opaque, well-funded entities such as large financial institutions, centralized technology firms, and regulatory agencies, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, and PayPal. The closed-source nature of these datasets stems from the self-serving priorities of these organizations, which often lack the incentive to democratize data access. This approach exacerbates disparities, creating a wider gap between everyday users and those with greater resources.
In the whitepaper linked below, we demonstrate that it is possible to generate useful synthetic data in a decentralized manner, using the Bittensor ecosystem and land the use case in DeFi Agents. We argue that a synthetic data layer will become a crucial step for DeFi to reach mass adoption, through autonomous and evolving AI Agents.
Synth is a pioneering subnet on the Bittensor network, designed to provide high-fidelity synthetic price data for the emerging agentic economy. By addressing the limitations of real-world datasets, Synth creates a robust foundation for AI-driven decision-making, transforming DeFi workflows and expanding into new industries.
This whitepaper explores Synth’s architecture, capabilities, and vision to establish a comprehensive data layer for predictive intelligence in DeFi and beyond.

In the guide linked below, we break things down into three key areas:
Explaining the Scoring System: What’s the methodology behind how submissions are evaluated?
Tutorial for Miners: How to set up and submit Bitcoin price predictions using a simple Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) model.
Sandboxed Competition Results: A look at how miners using similar models, like GBM, perform against each other.
