(SN30)

Bettensor is a specialized decentralized protocol operating as Subnet 30 within the Bittensor ecosystem. Its core objective is to bridge AI-driven analytics with sports betting markets by creating a competitive marketplace for sports predictions. In this environment, both human participants and AI models compete to provide the most accurate forecasts for various sporting events. By incentivizing accuracy, the protocol builds a powerful, decentralized intelligence engine for sports data and odds.

No, Bettensor is not a real-money betting platform. It functions as an intelligence-gathering protocol where participants, known as miners, submit simulated wagers. These miners do not lose actual capital on incorrect predictions. Instead, they are rewarded with SN30 or TAO tokens based on their predictive accuracy compared to other network participants. This structure transforms sports forecasting into a data-driven competition rather than a traditional gambling activity.

Currently, the protocol supports major sports leagues, including Baseball (MLB), Soccer (UEFA), and American Football (NFL), with plans for future expansion. To ensure fairness and accuracy, Bettensor pulls real-time odds from reputable sportsbook APIs. These live market odds are locked in by validators to prevent manipulation or odds-shifting, ensuring that all miners are competing against consistent, real-world data points.

SN30 is the Alpha Token or dTAO specific to Subnet 30, following the Bittensor Dynamic TAO upgrade. It represents a stake in the subnet’s performance and emissions. Users can stake SN30 through LBank or other Bittensor-compatible wallets. Stakers can choose a lock duration, which provides a multiplier on rewards and grants voting power known as veSN30. This voting power allows holders to influence the protocol's governance and future direction.

Miners are allocated a simulated daily balance of Bettensor dollars to place wagers on upcoming matches. Their performance is measured by their total earnings balance, which is the profit generated from winning bets. To prioritize consistency, the system uses an exponential decay algorithm, ensuring that recent prediction performance carries more weight than historical data. This keeps the competition dynamic and rewards miners who maintain high accuracy over time.

Unlike subnets requiring heavy GPU compute, Bettensor supports human intelligence mining, allowing for manual submissions or statistical scripts. However, competitive miners often employ machine learning models on a VPS. To participate, users must register a hotkey to Subnet 30 via the Bittensor command line interface and meet a minimum staking threshold to prevent Sybil attacks. The technical setup involves running Python-based scripts available through the project's official code repositories.
