RugIntel: Decentralized Intelligence Market for Solana Rugpull Prediction

1. Introduction: The Future of DeFi Security

RugIntel: A decentralized intelligence subnet on Bittensor that predicts Solana rugpulls through multi layer signal fusion, turning the $500M/year rugpull protection market into continuous TAO demand. It is the first subnet designed to convert existing DeFi security budgets fiat dollars already allocated for wallet protection and compliance directly into usage based, TAO denominated revenue at scale.

RugIntel is not just another security tool, its the first decentralized intelligence market for predictive rugpull detection on Solana. While existing tools react after victims lose funds, RugIntel predicts rugpulls 5–15 minutes before collapse through a self-improving intelligence network that rewards genuine insight with TAO. We're not detecting scams, we are predicting them before they happen. This is the future of DeFi security, built on Bittensor's economic alignment where intelligence is the commodity, accuracy is the currency, and truth is the equilibrium.

2. Incentive & Mechanism Design

The Economic Engine That Powers Security

RugIntel leverages Bittensor’s core innovation decentralized markets for digital commodities to create an intelligence market where :

Miners compete to produce the most accurate rugpull predictions

• Each miner specializes in one intelligence layer (liquidity, wallet clustering, social signals, contract analysis)
• Miners run lightweight Python processes that query public APIs (Solana RPC, RugCheck, DexScreener)
• Miners earn TAO for accurate predictions validated by independent validators

Validators verify predictions through consensus

• 3+ validators independently verify each prediction against 24-hour ground truth outcomes
• Validators set weights on-chain proportional to accuracy
• Yuma Consensus automatically distributes TAO to the most accurate producers
