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 Data Universe does

Organizations conducting market research, trend analysis, and competitive intelligence rely heavily on social media data from X, Reddit, and other platforms. Centralized scraping APIs are expensive, often charge per-request fees, impose rate limits, and require maintaining relationships with individual platform providers. This creates barriers for smaller research teams and startups that need continuous, large-scale data collection.

A decentralized network of data scrapers can distribute collection costs across many contributors, each incentivized to gather and verify high-quality data. By combining independent scrapers with built-in validation mechanisms, the network can operate continuously, scale horizontally, and reduce per-unit data costs while maintaining data quality through cryptographic verification.

Data Universe implements this by recruiting miners to scrape data from X, Reddit, and YouTube, storing it in distributed databases indexed by source, time, and label (hashtag, subreddit, etc.).

Validators periodically retrieve miner data, re-scrape original sources to verify correctness, and score miners based on data freshness, uniqueness across the network, and credibility. Miners earn rewards proportional to the value and volume of verified data they provide.

About

active

Data Universe (Subnet 13) is a Bittensor subnet for collecting and storing large amounts of data from social media sources (X/Twitter, Reddit, YouTube) for use by other subnets and businesses. Miners scrape data from these sources and store it in local databases, while validators verify data correctness and score miners based on data freshness, desirability, uniqueness, and credibility.

How it works

Data Universe operates as a decentralized data scraping and storage network. Miners scrape data from social media sources (X, Reddit, YouTube) and store it in local SQLite databases, organized into DataEntityBuckets identified by source, time bucket, and label. Miners expose their MinerIndex (summary of data) and DataEntityBuckets via an Axon (request handler) to validators.

Validators periodically: (1) retrieve and cache all miners' MinerIndexes, (2) sample random buckets from each miner, (3) retrieve and verify data correctness by re-scraping original sources, (4) update miner credibility scores, and (5) calculate miner scores based on data value and credibility. Miners can optionally upload data to S3 via presigned URLs for public access. Dynamic Desirability system allows validators to vote on which data labels are desirable, with voting power proportional to stake (validators: 70% total, subnet owner: 30%).

Validators commit their preference votes to Bittensor chain via SHA hashes. Aggregate desirability lookup is reconstructed from chain-committed votes and used for scoring.

Incentive mechanism

Raw score is calculated as: raw_score = data_type_scale_factor × time_scalar × scorable_bytes. Final score incorporates credibility as: final_score = raw_score × (credibility ^ 2.5). Data freshness uses linear deprecation over 30 days.

Desirability is dynamically set by validators voting on label weights. Duplication factor decreases value proportionally to number of miners storing identical data. Miner credibility ranges 0-1, updated via exponential moving average (α=0.15) based on validation checks.

Validators periodically sample and verify data correctness, updating credibility accordingly.
