General
What makes EchoIc different from ElevenLabs or similar?
Open competition among miners drives continuous improvement, lower long-term costs, and no single-point control/failure.
Is my voice data private?
Yes. It’s processed in-memory only by miners/validators. No persistent storage; it’s deleted after task completion.
When is mainnet launch?
Pending subnet slot. Testnet completed… Follow @echoic_lab for announcements.
Technical
What models are supported?
Any open-source: XTTS (speed/multilingual), RVC (fidelity), Bark (expression), Tortoise (realism). More via community.
Can I run on CPU-only?
Possible for light tasks, but GPU is essential for competitive scores/timeouts.
How are rewards distributed?
Proportional to quality scores across dimensions. Higher scores = more $TAO emissions.
Where’s the code/toolkit?
Releasing soon. Watch @echoic_lab for updates.
