Question 1

How do I know an analyst's track record is real and not faked?

Accepted Answer

Djinn records every analyst's quality score on Base chain after each settlement cycle. These scores are attested by a 2/3+ majority of independent validators who each verify game outcomes using the public ESPN API. No single party—not the analyst, not the platform, not even a single validator—can forge a score; it requires coordinated deception by multiple independent operators. The on-chain record is immutable and publicly auditable.

Question 2

Can the platform or validators see my picks before I purchase them?

Accepted Answer

No. Picks are encrypted with a Shamir secret scheme distributed across validators. To decrypt and view a pick after purchase, the validators run a multi-party computation (MPC) that reconstructs only the decryption key—no single validator ever sees the full key, and no party learns which pick was the 'real' one versus the decoys. The protocol prevents even the platform operators from ever accessing unencrypted picks.

Question 3

What happens if an analyst stops updating signals or the sportsbooks change their lines?

Accepted Answer

The analyst posts a collateral-backed SLA (service level agreement) when they create a signal. If a line becomes unavailable at the claimed price, the signal is marked void and the buyer's fee is refunded. Miners continuously verify real-time betting lines using cryptographic proofs (TLSNotary attestations from sportsbooks' HTTPS responses), so line availability is independently verified before any money settles.

Question 4

How do I withdraw my winnings?

Accepted Answer

All funds live in an escrow smart contract on Base chain. When you purchase a signal, your fee is debited; when the signal settles and the outcome is attested by validators, your net winnings (or losses) are credited directly to your escrow balance. You can withdraw any available balance at any time via the web interface, which submits a withdrawal transaction to the escrow contract.

Question 5

What does it cost to participate as a validator or miner?

Accepted Answer

Validators and miners register on Bittensor Subnet 103 by staking TAO (the Bittensor native token). There is no protocol-level fee; earnings come from TAO emissions set by the network's incentive mechanism based on validator scoring and miner performance. Hosting costs (server, bandwidth) are operational expenses covered by the TAO rewards. Details on minimum stake and hardware are in the repository documentation.
