THE DAILY BRIEFING

Bittensor Daily — November 2, 2026

Discord carried almost nothing today -- #General held only Halloween and new-month greetings and #Rao mostly emoji exchanges -- leaving the day's actual news to run through the subnet cards and the X feed. SN118 (Ditto) rebuilt its emission split, SN80 (OpenRoboto) faced community questions over wallets tied to its top miners and owner, and SN24 (ms.computer) became the latest subnet to adopt Null Consensus. Opentensor's weekly roundup named Trishool's AI-security result the week's headline story.

SN118 (Ditto) rebuilds its eTAO emission split, cutting miner burn to zero and raising validators' and owner's shares.
(1) The new split sets owner at 18%, validators at 49% and miners at 33%, with miner burn cut from its prior level to 0%. (2) The team paired the change with cost-cutting measures limiting continual retests to the top 5 agents and widening generator rounds to every 4 tempos instead of every tempo. (3) The team said outside miners now take home roughly 29% more per day and alpha stakers' share rose about 25% under the new split, even as the token fell 17.3% over 24 hours. Neither figure was independently verified in the material.
On SN80 (OpenRoboto), a community member traces on-chain funding links between top-earning miner wallets and the subnet owner.
(1) The member traced funding connections among wallets tied to top-earning miner UIDs 84 and 99 and the subnet owner, prompting an extended exchange with the team. (2) This echoes the Oct 30 ecosystem debate over SN90, where a repeatedly top-ranked miner was similarly tied to the subnet owner or validator rather than an independent operator. (3) The team said UID 99 is a baseline entry funded by an engineer's wallet, confirmed it did not enter the S2 round, and said the real-robot track remains paused for cost reasons. The broader question of whether reward flows favor insider-linked wallets was not independently resolved in the material.
SN58 (Attune) miners allege the current champion model is a near-copy of another submission, and the team admits it has no anti-copy system.
(1) Miners alleged the champion model, langst-22vu/attune-vector-g11, has weights nearly identical to another submission, freemorec/attune-gk7, differing by only one line. (2) The team acknowledged the concern but said SN58 currently has no automated anti-copy system in place. (3) The allegation surfaces the same day Robotensor SN58 locked 69% of owner emissions, published Vector Level 2 results and opened Vector Level 3 for miners. The team said it will discuss possible solutions internally for a future update, with no fix confirmed in the material.
SN24 (ms.computer) cuts its validator count to one and activates Null Consensus, following SN8 (Vanta)'s Oct 28 adoption.
(1) The subnet changed max_validators from 64 to 1 and activated Null Consensus, meaning the validator holding the most stake now sets the subnet's weights. (2) This follows SN8 (Vanta)'s Oct 28 confirmation that it would adopt Null Consensus, making ms.computer another named subnet to move to the mechanism. (3) The team asked stakers to move to its official Missy validator, which it said charges a 0% take, while its token rose 13.76% over 24 hours. No community pushback over the concentration of weight-setting power appeared in the material.
Opentensor's weekly ecosystem roundup names Trishool's AI-security result the week's top story, alongside burns and commercial deals across several subnets.
Trishool’s HaloGuard achieved a new SOTA in AI output security, beating the previous leader with a model four times smaller. Targon burned over $2.1M worth of Subnet 4 alpha, including $445K bought back using revenue from its GPU cloud platform. (1) The same roundup credits Score with new public tracking challenges, Lium with sub-$4/hour B300 GPU access, and SayGM with integrating Chutes' confidential inference models. (2) Separately, @taodaily_io reported Yanez (SN54) secured a deal with one of the world’s largest social media platforms as ARR reached about $550K. (3) The two posts together give the clearest public measure this week of commercial traction accumulating across subnet teams. Neither account's figures were independently verified in the material.
Elsewhere, SN44 (Score) corrects mislabeled ground-truth data while Discord activity falls to its quietest point of the week.
(1) SN44 (Score) reviewed and removed incorrect ground-truth blocks in Room Dirtiness, Beverage, Petrol Station and Vehicle detection after miner reports, while confirming other challenges were correctly annotated. (2) #General carried only Halloween and new-month greetings, and #Rao saw mostly emoji exchanges, continuing the drop after Oct 31's high-volume day. (3) No protocol release or ecosystem debate was logged today. The day closed without further substantive discussion in either channel.

SN118 24h −17.30%

Ditto

What happened: SN118 (Ditto) updated its tokenomics on-chain, changing eTAO emission ratios to 18% owner, 49% validators, and 33% miners, and cutting miner burn to 0%. The team also announced cost-reduction changes, limiting continual retests to the top 5 agents and running generator rounds every 4 tempos instead of every tempo. Separately, the team confirmed a roughly 10-minute inference provider credit outage on Oct 31 caused two Wonder v6 retests to score falsely low; those runs were voided and re-run.
Community: Multiple miners repeatedly asked team members to review agents held for operator or escalation review, including submissions flagged as near-duplicates or forks of previously released code. A community member reported the Wonder v6 scoring anomaly, noting the affected retests made roughly double the normal request count while using fewer tokens.
Official: The team confirmed the credit outage caused the low Wonder v6 scores, voided and re-ran the affected tests, and said scoring will now pause during future outages. The team also posted that outside miners take home roughly 29% more per day and alpha stakers' share is up roughly 25% under the new tokenomics.

SN58 24h −6.43%

Attune

What happened: Miners on SN58 (Attune) alleged that the current champion model, langst-22vu/attune-vector-g11, has weights nearly identical to another submission, freemorec/attune-gk7, differing by only one line. The team acknowledged the concern but said SN58 has no automated anti-copy system in place yet. Separately, Robotensor SN58 locked 69% of owner emissions, published Vector Level 2 results, and opened the Vector Level 3 competition.
Community: Miners debated possible fixes, including encrypting commitments so submissions cannot be downloaded and rejecting exact duplicates, but disagreed on whether manual bans would introduce unfair team discretion. Some miners asked the team to stop emissions to the model in question and questioned why earlier spam models were not flagged when they held the champion position.
Official: The team said it understands the concerns about model copying and spam submissions and will discuss possible solutions internally for a future update, while its dev team currently focuses on other subnet features. Robotensor also announced via X that 69% of owner emissions are locked, published Vector Level 2 results, and opened Vector Level 3 for miners.

SN24 24h +13.76%

ms.computer

What happened: SN24 (ms.computer) changed its max_validators hyperparameter from 64 to 1 and activated Null consensus, meaning the validator holding the most stake sets the subnet's weights. The team asked stakers to move their stake to the official Missy validator, which charges a 0% take. Separately, the subnet changed its owner hotkey while keeping the same owner coldkey.
Community: Reaction in the channel was limited to brief acknowledgments, including one member greeting the Missy validator by name; there was no extended discussion of the hyperparameter or ownership changes.
Official: The team announced the max_validators change to 1, confirmed activation of Null consensus, and directed stakers to the official Missy validator, noting it carries no cost to yield.

SN80 24h +2.52%

OpenRoboto

What happened: SN80 (OpenRoboto)'s evaluation pipeline stopped working for several hours; the team said an eval machine issue was the cause and restored it after migration work. Separately, a community member traced on-chain funding links among wallets connected to top-earning miner UIDs 84 and 99 and the subnet owner, prompting an extended exchange with the team about whether those accounts were team-linked. The team confirmed UID 99 is a baseline entry funded by an engineer's wallet and said the real-robot track is paused due to cost. The team also said it is designing a mechanism to pay miners extra USDC from data sales for holding tokens instead of selling, targeted before the end of November.
Community: One community member flagged that a small number of UIDs earned the large majority of miner emission while absent from the sim leaderboard and asked which track they were winning. Another member pressed the team with specific wallet addresses and block numbers over several messages, seeking clarity on whether team-connected wallets were involved in prize-season miners.
Official: The team said the eval machine had issues and was being migrated, then confirmed the eval was restored. The team clarified that UID 99 is a baseline key funded by an engineer, said it did not enter the S2 round, and said the real-robot track is paused due to maintenance cost; it also said a USDC-for-holding payout mechanism is in design and should launch before the end of November.

In debate · Questions over team-linked wallets in SN80 (OpenRoboto) prize seasons · 3 participants

A community member presented on-chain funding links suggesting team-connected wallets may be tied to top-earning miner UIDs 84 and 99.

“the S2 champion and some owner-linked wallets both used it, and a wallet that helped fund the owner coldkey also funded UID 99”
The team said shared exchange hot wallets can explain overlapping funding without implying the miners are team-run.

“exchanges process withdrawals through shared hot wallets, so many miners, subnets, and validators may have received funds from the same Binance address”
After further exchanges, the questioner said the team's answers were sufficient and suggested a written rule for future prize seasons.

“a simple written rule that team members and contractors either stay out of prize seasons or disclose their entries”

SN44 24h +0.26%

Score

What happened: SN44 (Score) miners reported multiple ground-truth labeling errors across the Room Dirtiness, Beverage, Petrol Station, and Vehicle detection challenges, citing missing objects, mismatched classes, and inconsistent false-positive counts in specific blocks. The team reviewed the flagged blocks and removed several of them after confirming the ground truth was incorrect, while stating that other challenges were correctly annotated.
Community: Miners continued to submit block-specific review requests throughout the period, with some expressing frustration when asked not to repeat pings after a challenge had already been processed. Separately, a dispute arose over the soccer tracking leaderboard, with one miner describing a pattern where a model held the top position briefly before being displaced by another with nearly identical scores, prompting another miner to question whether this reflected normal competition.
Official: The team confirmed and removed incorrect ground-truth blocks in Room Dirtiness, Beverage, Petrol Station, and Vehicle detection, and noted that reviews are performed once per day and that already-processed challenges would not be re-reviewed.
