NOVA - SN68

High-throughput ML-driven drug screening.

Accelerating drug discovery, powered by Bittensor.

NOVA harnesses global compute and collective intelligence to navigate huge unexplored chemical spaces, uncovering breakthrough compounds at a fraction of the cost and time.

System Requirements

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (recommended)
• Python 3.12
• CUDA 12.4 (for GPU support)
• Sufficient RAM for ML model operations
• Internet connection for network participation

Installation and Running

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd nova

2. Prepare your .env file:

VALIDATOR_API_KEY=<your_api_key> # validators only

# For validators, we highly recommend running a local node!
SUBTENSOR_NETWORK="wss://archive.chain.opentensor.ai:443 

DEVICE_OVERRIDE="cpu" #or none to run on GPU

3. Install dependencies:

   • For CPU:

   bash install_deps_cpu.sh

   • For CUDA 12.4:

   bash install_deps_cu124.sh

4. Run:

# Activate your virtual environment:
source .venv/bin/activate

# Run your script:
# miner:
python3 neurons/miner.py --wallet.name <your_wallet> --wallet.hotkey <your_hotkey> --logging.debug

# validator:
python3 neurons/validator.py --wallet.name <your_wallet> --wallet.hotkey <your_hotkey> --logging.debug

Configuration

The project uses several configuration files:

• .env: Environment variables and API keys
• requirements/: Dependency specifications for different environments
• Command-line arguments for runtime configuration
• PSICHIC/runtime_config.py: runtime configurations for PSICHIC model

For Validators

DM the NOVA team to obtain an API key.
