Most crypto mining burns electricity on math nobody needs. Soft Yeti flips that: the AI inference itself is the "nonce search." Your GPU runs a real task (via Ollama, running locally on your machine) and hashes the output. If the hash happens to meet a difficulty target, you've mined a block — and either way, a real AI task just got answered. Nothing is wasted the way it is in Bitcoin mining: every attempt, successful or not, produces real inference work for the network.
There's no pre-mine and no ICO. Every YETI in existence came from a volunteer's GPU actually doing verified work. YETI also doubles as the subscription currency for the AI product this network powers — you can already spend it at the portal — so mining and spending are two sides of one system, not disconnected token games.
Not every task uses the lottery, though. Work that needs a fast answer — real product requests, not the mining game — can skip the hash search entirely: the first quality-passing result is accepted and paid immediately, at a smaller per-token rate instead of a jackpot. For these instant tasks, what you're paid is computed from the coordinator's own measurement of your output — never from what you claim to have done.
Every block, every reward, and every wallet balance on Soft Yeti is public and independently checkable — not a claim on this page, something you can go verify yourself right now. See exactly which volunteer mined which block, when, and for how much.
Open the Chain Explorer →A volunteer network only works if dishonest participants can't cheaply fake the work. Here's what we actually check today — including what we can't verify yet, stated plainly rather than glossed over.
Mining is only half the loop. The other half is a real AI product you spend YETI on: sign in with your wallet at the portal, subscribe with the YETI you mined, and describe a project in plain language — J-Claw, our autonomous software factory, builds it and hands you the result. That flow is live on testnet today, so YETI already buys something real instead of the network leaning on token speculation.
Being honest about what's still being built: subscription payments and the network's mint fee both accrue to a treasury that can redistribute to miners — but the automatic payout side, where miners directly earn what subscribers spend, isn't wired up yet. The revenue is real and recoverable; the loop that returns it to miners is the next thing on the roadmap, not a finished feature. We'd rather say that plainly than claim a closed loop we haven't shipped. Progress is tracked openly on the roadmap.
