Forge @ForgeLending

@CaiusScottus @webuildscore @MaxScore Appreciate you sharing this. The skepticism in DeFi is earned, and we know trust has to be built through actions. Having Score as our first partner is a statement we take seriously. More security related information will come soon.

We're proud to announce Forge's official partnership with @webuildscore (SN44). Building a native money market for the $TAO ecosystem means starting with the right partners. Score is one of Bittensor's most established subnets, and we're grateful to @MaxScore and the entire Score team for believing in us. Building new financial infrastructure requires trust. We're excited to take this first step together and look forward to helping Score unlock new ways to access liquidity without compromising long-term alignment.

Quick update: Forge testnet has been a much stronger signal than expected. What started as a testnet release turned into hundreds of users, heavy traffic, and direct community interaction with the core primitive: borrowing TAO against Alpha collateral. That traction shows real curiosity and demand around Bittensor-native credit, and it gives the team live feedback on how users interact with Alpha-backed lending before broader rollout. @ForgeLending is the first proving ground for this market. It is where demand becomes visible, user behavior gets tested, and the risk questions become concrete: which Alpha markets should be accepted as collateral, how much exposure is safe, and how quickly should parameters adapt as liquidity, volatility, and drawdowns change? That is where Endure comes in. Endure is being built as the risk-intelligence layer behind Forge, but the long-term vision is broader than one lending market. The goal is to create an intelligence market where risk models compete, get benchmarked, and improve over time. In that world, raw market data is not enough. The valuable output is evidence-backed judgment: which signals matter, which models were early, which recommendations were accurate, and which insights were actually useful when conditions changed. For Forge, the current work is moving toward a lending V1 path where miners will be able to submit structured Alpha collateral risk recommendations and validators will be able to score them against realized market behavior. Recent progress has focused on turning that path into an executable subnet loop: Forge lending registry selection, reveal validation, Alpha collateral whitelist gates, lending market-data fixtures, real mainnet drawdown windows, miner submission flows, lending consensus logic, and validator hardening around state, pacing, config, and schema handling. Over the next phase, Endure should move closer to producing the types of outputs a lending market actually needs: safer pricing inputs, collateral-factor guidance, risk tiers, cap recommendations, liquidation assumptions, and eventually more adaptive risk parameters for Forge. At the same time, the team is working on the harder research problem: how to benchmark risk intelligence itself. That means thinking in terms of SOTA, baselines, and measurable improvement. Not just “did the model produce an answer?” but “did the model beat a naive benchmark, did it stay calibrated under stress, and did it turn noisy information into a decision that held up against future outcomes?” This is where concepts like Validated Insight Rate become important: measuring how reliably raw information turns into evidence-backed decisions. The potential is a network that can identify which models are consistently early, accurate, calibrated, and economically useful. Forge showed demand far beyond expectations for Alpha-backed TAO borrowing. Endure is building the market that can score the risk behind it.

On Forge, you borrow against your Alpha. Supply it as collateral and access liquidity without selling your position. Your borrowing power depends on the LTV for the Alpha you supplied. LTVs are kept low on purpose, leaving a safety buffer to absorb price moves and interest accrual. Testnet is the right place to understand this before real capital is involved.

@AlgodTrading Have you heard about @ForgeLending ? They are enabling Alpha collateralized lending. So lets say a SN team has to fund operations, they can simply borrow TAO against their alpha. They keep the upside potential and event 75% of alpha token yield.

@OnChainFox 👀

Misunderstanding the Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio is one of the fastest ways to get liquidated. The LTV is the ratio between what you deposit and what you can borrow. A 30% LTV means 100 TAO worth of Alpha collateral supports up to 30 TAO of borrowing. The remaining 70% is the protocol's buffer against price volatility. The closer you borrow to your limit, the smaller the price move needed to liquidate your position. Leave a buffer. On Forge, LTV will be configured by the Guardian Multisig and visible in the app. Once Endure is live, its risk intelligence will be gradually integrated.

Everything you need to understand Forge is in the docs. How supplying and borrowing work, how collateral and risk are managed, how markets and rates are structured, and how to get started on testnet. All covered. → docs.forge.endure.network

Try it on testnet: testnet.forge.endure.network

Forge, at a high level, has two equally important participants: – Suppliers, who deposit $TAO, receive the root yield as a base rate, and can earn additional interest from borrowers when utilization rises. – Borrowers, who deposit Alpha as collateral, access $TAO liquidity without selling their position. On mainnet, Alpha collateral keeps earning its native yield while it is deposited on Forge. 75% of those emissions will pass through to borrowers. One side needs the other.

@magna2212 No, testnet will not be rewarded.

There is no Forge airdrop. Testnet is open for users who want to try the protocol before mainnet. That's it.

Hey @EndureNet please make it clear that THERE IS NO AIRDROP to participate in your testnet session. Taoswap's testnet faucet is currently receiving hundreds of attack to drain the tokens.

@Leonardo_3200 No, testnet is not incentivized

Forge is live on testnet. The Bittensor-native money market is open for testing. See how borrowing TAO against Alpha collateral works and get familiar with the flow before mainnet. → testnet.forge.endure.network Full testnet guide: x.com/ForgeLending/s…

I'll be going live on X and Youtube with @TomyVE1 from @EndureNet tomorrow morning to chat about all the latest updates to their risk intelligence network and the rollout of @ForgeLending on Bittensor. See you at 11am EDT tomorrow!
