DSperse
- What happened
- A former SN2 (DSperse) contributor announced that Inference Labs agreed to transition the subnet to DaniLabs, pivoting SN2 toward inference. The team said it will work with existing contributors for a handover for miners and validators, plans to make its code repositories public, and intends to add GitHub information to the subnet's chain identity. The transition follows a period described by community members as having no subnet updates for months.
- Community
- Several community members asked whether current mining would continue under the new direction and questioned the legitimacy of the ownership transition. Others accused moderators of deleting critical comments and negative emoji reactions about the pivot, calling the behavior non-transparent. A separate thread of discussion referenced an ongoing legal and public dispute between the new SN2 contributor and a developer associated with SN46 (Instant).
- Official
- The new SN2 contributor said the project is building an inference subnet, will provide a roadmap, and will make repositories public, while declining to discuss legal matters or price on the channel.

Critics argued the timing of the pivot coincided with deregistration risk and that moderation was used to suppress criticism.
“makes you look super shady when you're removing messages you don't like, instead of replying to them.”

The new contributor said they had only just joined and were focused solely on building the inference subnet, not discussing price.
“I just got here. If you want to talk price - take it elsewhere”

Other members urged the community to let competition between the two developers play out rather than taking sides or judging.
“Competition between two good developers on separate subnets will motivate them both to win the competition.”
