SignalPlus: Institutional Infrastructure Expertise

SignalPlus was co-founded by Chris Yu, a former derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs, and James Shan, a serial technology entrepreneur. The company excels in delivering trading infrastructure that supports SN53. SignalPlus offers professional tools that enable options pricing, risk management, and automated market-making, integrating these with major crypto exchanges. The team consists of capital market veterans and engineers from esteemed firms, facilitating the incorporation of traditional finance principles into the cryptocurrency space.

In January 2025, SignalPlus successfully raised $11 million in a Series B funding round, co-led by prominent investors, which further solidifies its financial backing and enhances product development, including SN53’s integration.

Bittensor: Decentralized Machine Learning Protocol

Bittensor, governed by the Opentensor Foundation, acts as a decentralized network where AI models compete to generate valuable outputs, including data and predictions. The efficient frontier project, SN53, was launched as one of Bittensor’s specialized subnets in October 2023. The flexibility of Bittensor’s architecture allows for the creation of custom incentive mechanisms tailored for machine learning tasks, akin to the smart contract functionality found in Ethereum’s ecosystem. While the core team of Opentensor spearheaded the launch of the subnet, the daily operations and development are driven by the quantitative researchers and engineers from SignalPlus.
