Week From 2025-03-03 To 2025-03-10

In the past week, The Synth team has updated the CRPS scoring to encourage better miner output, primarily in response to feedback that the reward curve was too flat, reducing competition among miners. By refining the scoring mechanism, we aim to foster a more competitive environment that better reflects performance differences between miners, rewarding the top miners majority of the incentive.

Synth unlocks the future of predictive intelligence for LLMs and AI Agents. Miners have been competing to build the best forecasting models. Read this weeks' update to see how miners’ strategies evolved and responded to changing market conditions from 2025-02-17 to 2025-02-23.

Synth unlocks the future of predictive intelligence for LLMs and AI Agents. Miners have been competing to build the best forecasting models. But have they been able to forecast BTC price action? The following is an analysis of the data from February 3rd to 16th, 2025.

The creation and use of synthetic price data has traditionally been dominated by opaque, well-funded entities such as large financial institutions, centralized technology firms, and regulatory agencies, including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, and PayPal. The closed-source nature of these datasets stems from the self-serving priorities of these organizations, which often lack the incentive to democratize data access. This approach exacerbates disparities, creating a wider gap between everyday users and those with greater resources.

We are delighted to introduce the nine pioneering teams that have been selected to join the Mode AIFi Accelerator, each embodying the spirit of innovation at the intersection of decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence (AI). These teams are not just building products - they are crafting the future of finance, harnessing AI to unlock new possibilities in automation, security, and accessibility. Together, we will chart new territory, transforming how billions of users interact with DeFi.
