Release 1.5.5
About SN18 Zeus
We are initiating a temporary 90% incentive burn. This is step one of a massive architectural shift to make Zeus a true enterprise-grade forecasting oracle (specifically for energy trading). Live Now in 1.5.5: 90% Incentive Burn: Emissions are temporarily slashed to protect the network's economics while we transition the architecture. Coming Soon (Why we are doing this): True Future Forecasting: We are killing the "-5 to 0 days" ERA5 delay meta. The new focus will be strictly on predicting the future. Speed is Decoupled: Response time will no longer impact your score. The API will be unlinked from live responses, meaning latency becomes irrelevant. Accuracy is everything. Action for Miners: Do not panic. Your current ML models are NOT obsolete. In upcoming updates, only the forecast format and evaluation window will change. Use this burn period to optimize your setups purely for accuracy instead of speed. Action for Validators: Auto-update: Your nodes will update automatically. Manual update: Pull the latest code and restart. This is a painful but necessary transition to bring Zeus to the next level and secure high-value B2B clients. The transition starts now. The Zeus team
