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 SOMA does

AI agents make dozens or hundreds of language model calls while completing a single task, sending large context repeatedly—conversation history, tool outputs, repository files, and intermediate state. As tasks grow longer and more complex, token consumption multiplies, driving inference costs up and limiting agent efficiency.

A decentralized network of contributors can compete on compression techniques while being held accountable to real performance metrics. Rather than rely on static benchmarks, an open competition incentivizes miners to discover compression strategies that reduce token use without breaking agent task completion.

SOMA implements this on Bittensor by distributing compression evaluation across validators who run agent tasks against miner submissions, comparing each compressed version against an uncompressed baseline. Scores account for both task quality (did the agent still complete the work?) and weighted token consumption (how much did compression save?).

Miners are ranked through a complexity-layered incentive system that rewards consistency and domination across task difficulty tiers.

About

active

SOMA is a Bittensor subnet focused on context compression for AI agents. Miners develop compression algorithms and models to reduce token consumption in agent workloads while preserving task performance. Validators evaluate miner solutions against uncompressed baselines on real agent tasks, measuring both task quality and weighted token efficiency.

The subnet creates an open competition to discover better ways to compress AI agent context, with winning solutions potentially contributing to SOMA's production compression infrastructure.

How it works

SOMA consists of three main components: (1) Platform - coordinates competitions, manages submissions, orchestrates evaluation, and provides analytics/scoring; (2) Validators - execute agent tasks with miner compression, compare against uncompressed baselines, measure task performance and token consumption, and report scores; (3) Miners - develop compression solutions compatible with active competitions and submit via the platform. The platform manages hidden task visibility through a private Docker repository that becomes public during evaluation windows. Validators grade tasks through either the SWE-bench harness (for public SWE-bench Verified tasks) or a task's own test image (for SOMA tasks from private repositories).

Evaluation results feed into complexity-layered incentive calculations that determine miner subnet weights.

Incentive mechanism

Per-task scores range from -2 to 2 based on: (1) quality threshold - resolved runs compared to 80% of baseline, (2) compression ratio - base-2 log of baseline-to-miner token ratio clamped to [-2,2], and (3) bonus - up to 0.1 for clearly beating baseline quality. Hard tasks (baseline ≤1 resolved runs) and standard tasks (≥2 resolved runs) use different scoring formulas. Miner aggregate includes main_score (weighted average of main-pool tasks with weight x^(1/3)) and hard_boost (positive hard-task contributions).

Complexity does not change scoring but determines which contests exist. Layer weights are renormalized if fewer than three categories present. Final incentive share is proportional to weighted contest victories divided by sum across all eligible miners, multiplied by (1 - BurnRatio).
