A Subnet Built for Real-World Impact
The Bittensor ecosystem is rapidly evolving, bringing together decentralized AI applications across multiple domains. While many subnets explore cutting-edge AI research, some are beginning to establish clear business applications that bridge decentralized AI with real-world industries.
The Yanez Multimodal Inorganic Identities Dataset (MIID) Subnet is one such project.
This subnet powers Yanez Compliance, an AI-powered platform for detecting and correcting exposure, weaknesses, and configuration flaws in financial crime prevention systems. Effective financial crime prevention depends on how well these systems can detect fraudulent identities, prevent money laundering, and reduce regulatory risks. To properly test these systems, a diverse and controlled dataset of inorganic identities is essential.
By leveraging Bittensor’s decentralized AI infrastructure, the Yanez subnet enables the generation of high-quality inorganic identities, which serve as the foundation for testing, tuning, and validating fraud detection, sanctions screening, and broader financial crime prevention measures.
With a direct business use case and existing clients, the Yanez subnet brings practical, real-world adoption to the Bittensor ecosystem — demonstrating how decentralized AI can support financial institutions in strengthening their compliance and security frameworks.
The Growing Need for Inorganic Identities in Financial Crime Prevention
Financial institutions, regulators, and compliance teams rely on complex systems to detect illicit activity, prevent fraud, and enforce sanctions policies. However, these systems are only as good as the data they are tested against.
Inadequate test data leads to false positives (flagging legitimate transactions as suspicious), creating inefficiencies and compliance bottlenecks.
Weak or biased test data results in false negatives (failing to detect fraud or sanctioned entities), exposing institutions to risk and regulatory scrutiny.
The key to improving financial crime prevention systems is ensuring they are tested with realistic data that accurately represent real-world patterns.
This is where inorganic identities play a crucial role.
Understanding the Difference: Inorganic Identities vs. Synthetic Identities
One of the biggest challenges in financial crime prevention is dealing with synthetic identities, a term commonly associated with fraudulent activity. Public literature, including reports from financial regulators and industry leaders such as the Federal Reserve and the FTC, describes synthetic identity fraud as one of the fastest-growing financial crimes. In these cases, fraudsters create identities by combining real and fictitious information to bypass security systems, establish fraudulent credit lines, and exploit financial services.
However, while the term “synthetic identity” is often linked to nefarious intent, the underlying concept of generating artificial identities is not inherently malicious — it depends on the purpose and use case. This is where inorganic identities come in.
Yanez’ Inorganic identities serve an entirely different purpose: they are AI-generated identity profiles explicitly designed to test, evaluate, and improve financial crime prevention systems.
Much like how cybersecurity professionals create controlled test environments to harden defenses against cyber threats, inorganic identities provide a controlled, ethical framework for testing the robustness of:
Sanctions screening systems — Testing how well tools match names across different languages and transliterations.
KYC & AML frameworks — Strengthening customer verification processes by testing system accuracy across diverse identity profiles.
Transaction monitoring tools — Evaluating systems that detect suspicious financial activity patterns.
Fraud detection models — Ensuring systems can accurately detect fraudulent activity.
These identities allow financial institutions to improve their compliance capabilities without handling real personal data, reducing both regulatory risk and exposure to privacy concerns.
By differentiating inorganic identities from synthetic identities used in fraud, we emphasize their legitimate, security-enhancing role in AI-driven compliance. They are not created to deceive, but to defend.
How the Yanez Subnet Works
Powered by Bittensor’s decentralized AI infrastructure, the Yanez subnet enables the creation and refinement of high-quality inorganic identity datasets.
Miners in the subnet contribute by processing structured identity-generation tasks, such as:
Generating name variations using phonetic, orthographic transformations, transliteration and other commonly used techniques.
Geographic relevant identities across multiple scripts (e.g. Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Han).
Ensuring compliance with data sampling specifications and compliance frameworks like OCC’s (Office of the Comptrollers of the Currency), ensuring diversity and accuracy constraints.
By decentralizing this process, the Yanez subnet replaces static identity datasets with adaptive, AI-generated identity profiles, improving financial crime detection systems and AI-driven compliance models.
