what's Macrocosmos?
Macrocosmos is a decentralized AI and data infrastructure project that incentivizes the production of high-quality, real-time datasets through crypto mining and competitive algorithms. It bridges traditional web2 data scraping with blockchain-based incentives, enabling 256+ scrapers to build massive datasets at scale via platforms like SN13 on Bittensor. The project hosts specialized competitions, such as Matrix Compression v2 on Apex_SN1, where participants develop lossy compression techniques for efficient data handling. Top algorithms are integrated into ecosystems like IOTA_SN9, fostering advancements in AI model training and decentralized compute.
