"The wait is nearing an end"
In the coming days, #SN123 will be in the spotlight within the ecosystem, it’s time for the Barbarian Horde to make itself heard.
The stage is all yours, good luck 🫱🏻🫲🏼

🔥 Full circle moment.
On December 12, I shared my very first DeFi trade —
not based on hype, but on a MANTIS-driven signal from #SN123.
Today, January 14, I closed that position — this time by listening just as carefully to the exit signal.
As @Barbarian7676 put it:
“You may want to consider closing here! We have a few conflicting signals at the moment on ETH and BTC!”
➡️ ~1 month in the trade
➡️ Result: +28% on GMX, managed with discipline and timing.
What stands out isn’t just the return.
It’s the process:
⚪ clear signals
⚪ transparent decision points
⚪ risk-aware exits
⚪ consistency over noise
And as promised, the profits from this trade have been reinvested directly into Subnet 123.
Conviction isn’t just words — it’s alignment.
This is exactly why MANTIS SN123 deserves attention.
Not because it promises perfection —
but because it delivers structure, coherence, and repeatability.
Sometimes performance speaks louder than words.
This trade did.
Respect to the work behind the model.

The talented young people in the network work hard every day. @Barbarian7676 and @echo_cortex , many eyes are watching you
A few reports of MANTIS' performance across a few domains and challenges are to be released along with the live auctions. The smart contract, website, datafeeds, and more have all been fully built, user tested and penetration tested.
The wait is nearing an end.
There are many ways to interpret the outputs of SN123 as a whole, we have compiled performance reports on the results of most ways one might synthesize miners outputs across correlated targets.
We are very excited for the coming next days and what we will be showcasing.
Let me tell you a story.
Not the story of noise.
Not the story of loud promises.
But the story of silent construction before evidence.
For weeks now, MANTIS SN123 has been moving against the usual playbook of the ecosystem.
Very little communication. Very few flashy announcements.
But an enormous amount of deep, foundational work.
While some subnets talk,
👉 MANTIS builds.
@Barbarian7676 is not the most vocal subnet owner.
And that’s precisely what unsettles impatient observers.
Because what is happening here cannot be read from a single metric,
nor understood through one isolated chart.
MANTIS is now reaching a critical inflection point:
-Performance reports are ready
-Live auctions are approaching
-Smart contracts, website, data feeds are fully built, tested, and audited
This is no longer a concept.
It is infrastructure ready to operate.
But MANTIS’ real strength is not where most people are looking.
It lies in synthesis.
MANTIS does not rely on one model or one signal.
The subnet orchestrates multiple prediction tasks across miners, then combines their outputs into something far more resilient.
Among those building blocks:
👉 volatility forecasting models,
👉 designed not to be traded directly,
👉 but to quantify the probability of stop losses or take profits being hit.
This is exactly the type of information professional desks care about.
And almost never offer to retail.
The latest charts speak for themselves.
Over the last 15 days:
A baseline model shows a correlation of 0.090 with reality
MANTIS’ combined synthesis reaches 0.194
👉 More than double.
👉 No miracle promises.
👉 Just intelligent convergence of imperfect signals.
That’s where many misunderstand value:
it doesn’t come from a perfect signal,
but from coherent aggregation of imperfect ones.
Meanwhile, the market watches price.
MANTIS works on probability.
And in environments as complex as crypto markets,
those who can quantify uncertainty
almost always end up with a structural edge.
Yes, valuation may fluctuate short term.
But what’s being built here is far harder to replicate than a simple trading model.
We are still in the silent phase.
The phase where infrastructure takes shape.
The phase where impatient hands leave.
But proof has begun.
And demonstration is coming.
MANTIS #SN123 — silent construction before evidence.
Those who take the time to understand will see further.

Our model indicated that we exit the trade starting at around ~3130 yesterday, it's predictions were neutral the decision to stay in the trade was made.
Currently, our signals are bullish once again, we are drawn down significantly obviously.
Going forward we will be publishing the raw network model outputs every ~12 hours.
Happy Halvening! We will be adding some new challenges, expanding existing ones to new assets, and diversifying our trading onto different assets and asset classes.
We will also be removing some low performing legacy prediction targets, and burning the emissions of these.
