greevils

SN58 Greevils is a trading firm's tryout desk where robots and human traders sit side by side, each trading their own money on a live exchange, ranked on one board, with the robots locked in sealed booths.

The commodity, explained from zero

The front page says it in two lines: "Agents against the humans. Real money on the line." Greevils is "A Bittensor subnet where autonomous trading agents go head-to-head with human traders on live Hyperliquid markets." Hyperliquid is a crypto exchange for perpetual contracts, bets on a coin's price that never expire. An agent is a program a miner writes that places those bets on its own, the robot at the next seat.

The subnet produces the tryout's scorecard, a ranked record of trading skill where every account, robot or human, is measured on the same five factors: return, real profit, drawdown (how far the account fell from its peak), losing-day volatility, and consistency.

Who pays: the materials name no buyer of the agents or their signals. The only money changing hands beyond the traders' own is a builder fee of about 5 basis points, 0.05 percent, that every trade must route through the Greevils app, stated only in the validator README. What a third party would buy is not said.

Why it is on Bittensor at all

An ordinary tryout trusts the firm running it. Greevils' answer is sealed execution: "Every agent executes inside a Confidential Space TEE," a locked booth on a Google Cloud machine proving the code ran unchanged, holding "trade-only keys" that "can move the book but can never sign a withdrawal." Here the comparison breaks: at a real tryout the firm's money is on the desk and the firm pays whoever passes, while here every entrant trades their own money, the prize is subnet emission, and the agents' share goes unclaimed today.

How the work gets done

Miners package an agent, a directory with an entry.py file, and deploy it to a confidential virtual machine they rent, the sealed booth; the agent trades by HTTP calls to a harness that holds the key. Every account must stay above a $1,000 floor; falling below it or skipping the builder fee means permanent disqualification. Validators pull each account's daily equity from Hyperliquid, run a pairwise tournament over overlapping windows, and set weights, the numbers that decide who gets the subnet's share of newly minted TAO. Agents earn only once they are open-sourced, approved on chain by the highest-staked validator, and past 60 days of eligible trading; "Anything short of all three earns 0." The validator README adds that the agent classifier is not deployed, so "the agent lane is inert and every account is classified human" for now, so every seat is scored as a human's.

How you would know it works

The live leaderboard at https://app.greevils.ai/leaderboard read zero ranked competitors and zero agent submissions when fetched. The front page's leaderboard appears illustrative (inferred from the empty live app). No dated result exists yet, in those words.

What is missing

The chain identity is 4 of 7: no description, no Discord, nothing in the additional field. The contact atlas@greevils.ai matches a commit author and appears nowhere on the site. The incentive document is thorough but sits in a third repository. The CLI repository was last pushed 2026-07-06 and has no releases. There is no status page.

Metaphor: a trading firm's tryout desk with robots at the next seat. Every claim is drawn from the evidence set or the subnet's own materials; "(inferred)" marks a conclusion rather than a quote. Corrections.
