Neuron registration trends
The alpha price in τ, day by day, and what moved it each way.
Log change over the last 6 days +89.61%: protocol buys 0.00%, root sells −7.91%, users net +88.58%, cross-subnet +8.97%, unattributed +0.0002%. 2 days still in progress are counted as far as known.
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.
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).

Emission history is being recalculated from on-chain allocation.
Organizations and researchers need reliable access to high-performance GPUs without large capital expenditure, but GPU rental markets suffer from fragmentation, unverified hardware claims, and opaque pricing. Centralized platforms lock suppliers into single marketplaces and take substantial cuts of rental income. A decentralized GPU rental network addresses this by connecting GPU owners directly to renters while using cryptographic verification to confirm hardware authenticity and performance—removing the need for a trusted intermediary to vet every machine.
Weir implements this on Bittensor subnet 36 by operating a three-party system: miners list GPUs and serve rental requests, validators run cryptographic challenges to verify hardware claims, and renters access verified machines hourly. Miners register their hotkeys, undergo validator checks (random seed-based matrix multiplication with row verification), and earn both rental income and emissions based on GPU utilization and idle availability. Validators are compensated through the network fund for performing checks.
This structure replaces centralized vetting with distributed, on-chain verification where both parties transact with cryptographic signatures.

Weir is a GPU rental marketplace on Bittensor where miners contribute GPU machines, validators verify GPU authenticity and performance, and renters can rent GPUs hourly. Miners earn through a combination of rental income and emissions based on idle GPU availability and utilization.
Weir operates as a decentralized GPU rental marketplace on Bittensor subnet 36 (finney). Miners run weir-node agents on GPU machines that respond to validator challenges and manage rental containers. Validators (weir-validator) read the metagraph and send cryptographically signed GPU verification challenges to all miner nodes, checking GPU authenticity through memory-bound matrix multiplications with random row verification.
Miners earn emissions based on idle and rented pool allocations determined by validator weight-setting rounds, plus direct rental income from the Weir platform. The platform manages rental billing, container lifecycle, and settlement but does not directly interact with the on-chain mechanism.
Every weight-setting round, the miner share of emissions is split: Rented pool (20%) goes to GPUs actively rented by settled GPU-hours × card weight; Idle pool (up to 80%) goes to verified GPUs waiting for rent based on card weight × 80% ÷ 1134; Network fund receives what is left. Additionally, rent income from renters (after 48-hour settlement and minus 5% Weir fee) is paid weekly to miners in USDT/USDC once it reaches $5. Idle GPUs must meet requirements: 14 consecutive days of passed checks, price between half-cap and cap, disk ≥ 1.5× VRAM, Sysbox runtime, and answer at least half the time.
