The alpha price in τ, day by day, and what moved it each way.
Log change over the last 30 days +0.39%: protocol buys +11.68%, root sells −2.04%, users net −5.53%, cross-subnet −4.05%, unattributed +0.34%.
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).

Traditional infrastructure deployment relies on centralized providers with single points of failure, opaque pricing, and limited geographic redundancy. Storage and compute capacity remain underutilized in regional data centers, and operators lack transparent reward mechanisms for contributing resources. Decentralized infrastructure networks address these challenges by pooling distributed resources (storage and compute) from independent operators, enforcing reliability through on-chain reputation and slashing, and distributing rewards based on measurable contribution. Hippius implements this as a Substrate blockchain where validators secure the network via proof-of-stake consensus and earn era-based rewards every 6 hours, while miners (storage and compute types) accrue payments based on the duration and volume of resources they allocate.
The network tracks performance via offchain workers that measure storage pin health, latency, and challenge responses, converting these metrics into byte-block accrual (stored bytes × elapsed blocks) and finally into native token settlements through a deterministic payment-math pipeline that enforces conservation — no value is lost to rounding or miscalculation.

Hippius Network is a Bittensor subnet providing decentralized infrastructure with distributed storage (IPFS-based), compute resources, and blockchain management. It features a Substrate-based blockchain with validators and miners (storage and compute types), marketplace operations for resource trading, and era-based reward distribution (75% to validators, 25% to treasury) with sophisticated payment mathematics and multi-dimensional incentive mechanisms.
Hippius is a Substrate-based blockchain with a two-tier node architecture: validators participate in PoS consensus (BABE block production + GRANDPA finality) and receive era-based treasury rewards; miners (storage and compute types) run offchain workers to track performance metrics (pin checks, latency, challenges) and accrue byte-blocks (stored data × elapsed time) which are settled into native token payments via a typed money-math pipeline. The marketplace pallet manages resource trading and reward distribution, with all money flows (accrual, pricing, pro-rata splits, bank availability) routed through unit-typed primitives that enforce conservation invariants. Daily Bittensor subnet emissions bridge to Hippius via multisig attestation (approved by guardian set), split between staking rewards (minted to era-payout pot) and miner payments (deposited to hippocampus bank), with idempotency enforced by per-day settlement records.
Validators monitor network health via offchain workers; reputation and slashing mechanisms penalize bad actors. IPFS integration enables decentralized file storage backed by miner infrastructure.
Validators earn 75% of marketplace balance distributed equally across the session validator set every 6-hour era, with performance-based multipliers and stake-weighted distribution. The remaining 25% goes to the treasury/pot. Miners earn rewards through settled payments based on byte-blocks accrued (storage × time), priced in USD against token value, with pro-rata distribution when pool capacity is insufficient.
The system uses typed money math with conservation invariants: all splits are exact (no rounding losses), accrual saturates rather than wraps, and pro-rata shortfalls create arrears (deferred payment) rather than lost value. Daily emissions from Bittensor (netuid 75) bridge into Hippius and are split between staking rewards and miner payments via the same mechanism.
