Cascade subnet participation (SN91 / testnet 259)
Participate on Cascade by submitting a synthetic time-series generator. The subnet trains a fixed Toto2 model on your data and scores forecast quality (CRPS/MASE) — you compete on the prior, not a model you trained.
This repo implements a field-aware mixture in a private research tree, then packs a compact bland folder for Hippius.
Status: testnet 259, UID 64. Coldkey anacoluthe, hotkey cascade-gen1, Hippius anacoluthe89 (public). Deploy not yet run. Mainnet 91 later.
Quick start
1. Install upstream Cascade CLI (separate directory, Python 3.11+)
git clone https://github.com/TensorLink-AI/cascade.git ~/cascade-upstream
cd ~/cascade-upstream
python3.12 -m pip install -e '.[hippius,chain]'
2. Install this repo
cd /path/to/cascade-subnet
pip install -e '.[dev]'
3. Observe testnet (no wallet)
cascade heat --network test --chain-toml ~/cascade-upstream/chain.testnet.toml
cascade-observer pull-round --config config/observer.example.yaml
4. Pack and verify
cascade-pack-submit --src generators/mixture --dest dist/submit
cascade verify ./dist/submit --chain-toml ~/cascade-upstream/chain.testnet.toml
5. Deploy (wallet + Hippius required)
See docs/TESTNET.md. Deploy dist/submit/, not generators/mixture/.
