The long-awaited Almanac Beta has officially launched, marking a major milestone for Subnet 41 and for the evolution of collective sports intelligence within the Bittensor ecosystem. While the UI and design remain a work in progress, the core of the platform is fully operational. That means miners can now test real markets, execute real trades, and claim rewards directly through the new front end.
This beta is not just a cosmetic upgrade; it introduces a fundamental shift in how miners participate, how predictions are validated, and how the quality signal is measured.
How to Start Mining on Almanac
Getting started is simple. Here’s the full flow:
- Register a UID on Subnet 41
- Create an account on the beta platform: https://beta.almanac.market
- Connect your Almanac account to the Bittensor wallet address associated with your UID
- Deposit funds into Almanac
- Start trading (mining) to generate real performance-based scores
⚠️ Trading is currently available only to miners during this beta period for feedback, bug reporting, and stress testing.
Why This Beta Matters
At its core, the vision of collective sports intelligence is the same, but the mechanism is now far more robust.
Miners who previously submitted hypothetical predictions must now back their predictions with real capital, with rewards determined by actual performance.
This change solves multiple long-standing issues:
1. Skin in the Game → Higher Signal Quality
When predictions require real economic commitment, miners behave more carefully. This improves the accuracy and value of the collective signal.
2. Introduces Real Risk (1% Fee) → Stronger Economic Flywheel
The mining process now includes a 1% trading fee, creating incentives that naturally scale with performance and participation.
Higher risk → Higher rewards.
3. Sybil Resistance by Design
Since profitability must be real, Sybil attacks become economically unviable, improving the integrity of the subnet.
4. Massive Future Scalability
Once out of beta, mining becomes dramatically easier. This makes way for thousands of new traders, boosting competition and pushing models to improve even faster.
How Existing Miners Are Performing
There are already 40 miners with positive ROI across three trading leagues. This is a strong validation of the new scoring model.
If you are an existing miner: Keep improving your models. If you stay profitable while trading on Almanac, you will benefit directly from the new incentive design.

A Final Note: Major Incentive Change
One of the biggest updates: The 95% blanket burn on miner emissions has been removed.
100% of miner emissions are now governed entirely by the new incentive mechanism.
This gives miners full exposure to the value they generate.
