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 model calls to complete a single task, repeatedly sending large amounts of context—conversation history, tool outputs, repository files, previous actions—to language models. This repeated context transmission increases inference cost and limits how efficiently agents can operate at scale.

Developing better compression strategies requires benchmarking approaches against real agent workloads, not static text corpora. A decentralized network can aggregate research from multiple independent teams, each competing to reduce token consumption without degrading task performance, creating continuous pressure toward better solutions.

SOMA creates an open competition where miners develop compression algorithms, models, and hybrid approaches. Validators evaluate each solution against an uncompressed baseline on real agent tasks, measuring both task quality and weighted token consumption. The strongest approaches gain incentive allocation through the Bittensor subnet mechanism, turning research into a sustainable, decentralized process.

About

active

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

How it works

SOMA uses a modular microservices architecture with an ingress router (port 8000 for API, 8050 for LLM gateway), separate service containers (platform-api, run-coordinator, auto-run-restarter, results, metagraph, gateway pool), a shared PostgreSQL database, and an external remote sandbox fleet. Miners upload compression solutions via signed requests to platform-api. Run-coordinator seeds and dispatches work to the remote sandbox, which executes tasks and calls the gateway for model inference.

Validators pull task images (public during evaluation window only) and grade miner solutions. Results service aggregates scores and computes incentives. Metagraph maintains the Bittensor chain connection for subnet snapshots.

Incentive mechanism

Per-task scoring combines a quality component (resolved runs vs baseline), compression ratio (baseline tokens vs miner tokens), and bonus for exceeding baseline. Tasks are classified as hard (x<=1 baseline runs) or standard (x>=2), with different scoring formulas. Main score weights tasks by baseline run count to power 1/3.

Hard boost adds positive hard-task scores divided by total main+hard task count. Complexity categories (short, medium, long) create layered contests: triple layer (0.25 weight), pair layers (0.45 weight), and single layers (0.30 weight). Final miner score is clamped to [-2, 2], then normalized to [-1, 1].

Incentives are allocated by dividing each miner's contest wins by total eligible miner wins.
