About this chart

The chart follows the alpha price in τ. Each period starts at its opening price and steps through the mechanisms below, in a fixed order, to its closing price: a step that rises pushed the price up, one that falls pushed it down, and its height is how far it moved the price. A thin line carries each close into the next period’s open; it is dashed where the two differ. The faint candle behind each period is the market’s own open, high, low and close, for context.

With many periods on screen (90 days, or hours), the steps would be too thin to read, so the chart draws the price as a line instead and colours each period by the mechanism that moved it most. Hover a period for the full step-by-step breakdown.

Protocol buy: The chain spending excess emission TAO to buy alpha from the pool. A permanent protocol buyback; it pushes the price up.
Root sell: Root-dividend claims sold into the pool; they push the price down.
User buy / sell: Staking into and unstaking from this subnet.
Cross-subnet: Swaps from other subnets routed through this pool.
Residual: What the decomposition cannot attribute to a mechanism. It is always shown, never folded into another part.

Not here, because they do not move the spot price: the per-block TAO injection into the pool, and burns.

All figures are log changes, not simple percentage changes, so the parts add up exactly to the total; on big moves the two differ (a 10% log fall is a 9.5% price fall).

What ChipForge does

Hardware design evaluation today relies on centralized services and expensive EDA tool licenses. Teams submitting designs for fabrication or optimization face bottlenecks in access to synthesis, place & route, and timing analysis tools. The evaluation process is slow, costly, and often proprietary.

A decentralized network of independent validators running identical EDA toolchains can evaluate designs transparently and at scale. By incentivizing validators to maintain these tools and score submissions consistently, a peer network eliminates central gatekeeping and distributes both the computational load and the authority to decide design quality.

ChipForge operates this model on Bittensor subnet 108: miners submit Verilog/SystemVerilog implementations for active design challenges; validators download submissions and evaluate them locally using Verilator, Yosys, OpenLane, and Icarus within strict batch deadlines; evaluation results (functionality, area, delay, power) are submitted to a central record ladder that tracks design performance over time.

Validators who consistently evaluate according to the evaluator specification earn rewards; winning designs are ranked transparently on-chain.

About

active

ChipForge is a decentralized hardware design subnet on Bittensor where miners submit optimized Verilog/SystemVerilog implementations for digital design challenges (AI accelerators, cryptographic modules, processors), and validators evaluate them using industry-standard EDA tools (Verilator, Yosys, Icarus, OpenLane) across functionality, area, performance, and power metrics. Winners become records on a probation-based ladder and earn rewards proportional to their stake.

How it works

ChipForge operates in on-chain cycles where the challenge server (1) activates design quests and (2) groups submitted designs into evaluation batches. Validators (3) poll the server for active challenges and claim batches, (4) download submissions and evaluate them on a local EDA server (Verilator, Yosys, OpenLane) within batch deadlines, and (5) submit scores back to the server. The server then (6) decides records (best designs) and publishes a reward ladder.

Validators (7) compute the ladder locally (same algorithm) so weights stay current even if the server is unreachable, and (8) set weights on-chain paying the record ladder with the miner emission percentage and burning the rest. Miners receive challenge notifications from validators (so they can download early), poll the server for new challenges, and submit solutions via the miner CLI. The evaluator bundle (EDA evaluator version and metric weights) is versioned by the server; validators manage its installation and use on their EDA server (EvaluatorManager).

Incentive mechanism

The challenge server decides records from every validator's results when batches close. Each record must pass both functionality and overall gates to count. Records enter probation (earn nothing), then pay for a fixed window.

Multiple records per challenge share emissions; their placement on the ladder decays by ratio^(i-1) where i is the rank. Unregistered hotkeys, burn UID, and banned coldkeys have their weight redistributed to payable records. If no record is being paid or emissions are banned (ban_emissions flag), everything burns.

The validator's reward_ladder.py implements the same algorithm as the server so probation ends and windows close on time even when the server is unreachable. Validators submit weights on chain when places change or per WEIGHTS_REFRESH_SECONDS (~20 min).
