Neuron registration trends
The alpha price in τ, day by day, and what moved it each way.
Log change over the last 30 days −28.99%: protocol buys +5.97%, root sells −28.10%, users net −14.21%, cross-subnet +7.35%, unattributed −0.0001%.
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).

Organizations running sensitive AI workloads—inference on proprietary models, fine-tuning on confidential datasets, or multi-step ML pipelines—face a hard choice: centralized cloud providers give up data privacy and audit control; on-premises infrastructure is capital-intensive and operationally complex; public GPU marketplaces offer neither privacy guarantees nor hardware security.
A decentralized network of independently operated GPU clusters, each attested by cryptographic proof that data is isolated inside hardware-secured Trusted Execution Environments, can provide the privacy and verifiability of on-premises compute without the capital or operational burden. Participants (miners) earn emissions for providing attested capacity; consumers pay for the compute they use; validators score miners on infrastructure readiness and competitive pricing, creating incentives for both supply and demand to stay efficient.
KubeTEE (SN90 on Bittensor) implements this as a multi-cluster Kubernetes infrastructure where every workload runs inside Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP TEEs verified by CoCo remote attestation.
Miners register clusters (3+ nodes per cluster, one hotkey per cluster, nodes co-located in one data center), deploy Kata Containers + Confidential Containers with GPU passthrough, and earn emissions based on attestation + uptime + competitive pricing against Targon, Lium, and Chutes. Consumers submit jobs via OpenAI-compatible API, get cryptographic proof that code and data ran inside a verified TEE, and pay at a published resources price per hour (Alpha or TAO on-chain). All east-west traffic (LiteLLM to inference backends, Armada to workers) uses Trustee-issued mTLS certificates, not Kubernetes Secrets.

KubeTEE AI Factory is a decentralized confidential computing subnet on Bittensor that provides SOTA AI services (inference, fine-tuning, batch jobs) running inside Trusted Execution Environments (Intel TDX/SGX, NVIDIA CC) using Kata Containers and Confidential Containers. Miners host multi-cluster Kubernetes infrastructure with hardware-secured GPU nodes; validators score miners on infrastructure readiness, TEE attestation, competitive pricing against other compute subnets, and job execution quality.
KubeTEE operates a multi-cluster Kubernetes RKE2 infrastructure spanning a subnet-owner control plane (validator, Armada Server, Trustee/KBS, staging cluster) and multiple miner clusters (one per hotkey, each in a single data center). Miners deploy 3+ TDX/SEV-SNP GPU nodes with 8-GPU passthrough per node; every pod runs under a confidential Kata + CoCo runtime class (guest debug off, Trustee attestation). LiteLLM gateway (llm.kubetee.ai, 3 TDX CPU replicas) routes inference to either in-cluster TEE-served NeMo/NIM models (GLM, Ornith, DeepSeek, MiMo, etc.) or remote miner backends via attestation-gated mTLS (Trustee-issued certificates after quote verification).
All east-west traffic is encrypted by default: LiteLLM client mTLS to NIM terminator, NIM inbound HAProxy to SGLang loopback. Secrets (TLS keys, NGC/HF tokens, sealed LUKS keys) live in Trustee KBS, never in Kubernetes Secrets or git. Batch jobs (fine-tune, eval, pipelines) are submitted to Armada queues (Armada Server on control plane, Executor on each miner cluster) with a confidential runtimeClassName; Armada scheduler dispatches them across clusters with fair-use queuing and gang scheduling.
Validator reads metagraph each epoch, queries Rancher for miner cluster state, fetches price signals (Taostats, Targon, Hippius S3), computes infrastructure + price-competitiveness scores, and sets on-chain weights once per epoch. Consumers can submit jobs via LiteLLM /fine_tuning/jobs (OpenAI-compatible API), Airflow/Metaflow connectors (Phase 1), or MCP server (Phase 3) with credentials/budgets inherited from the gateway. All workloads run inside hardware TEE (Intel TDX/SGX, NVIDIA CC) with remote attestation (CoCo Trustee + Intel Trust Authority) proving code and configuration are unmodified.
Validator scoring is a single Infrastructure mechanism (Phase 0): binary readiness gate (hotkey binding, Rancher API connectivity, HA topology, 8-GPU workers, confidential runtime handler) + USD compensation pricing. Miners with perfect attestation but priced 2× competitor average score low (weighted by price-competitiveness index). Miner/owner weight split is dynamic per epoch: miners earn a USD target, everything else is set as weight on owner UID which under recycle_or_burn=recycle returns to unissued supply (no owner reward unless owner runs a miner).
Miner deposit (10 TAO per node) is not slashable; enforcement is a reversible freeze: validators withhold score → emission stops → deposit draining stops → capital freezes on miner hotkey until scoring resumes. Phase 1 adds fresh TEE attestation gate (MRCONFIGID/RTMR verify), Armada job metrics (success rate, latency), and health scoring. Phase 2 adds USDC-on-BASE and TAO-on-BASE paid jobs at dynamic per-job-class price (resources per hour, bounded by competitor signals and queue depth).
Crossover point: when consumed Alpha revenue > emission spend, the subsidy ratio crosses zero and DePIN self-funds.
