24h change −3.50%

What happened
SN118 (Ditto) experienced a v13 scoring stall after a submission used a dataset seed that was not tied to a chain block, which blocked validators from picking up new work for about 38 hours. The team identified the cause, fixed it, and scored the backlog of agents that had been waiting. Separately, the team is working through other submissions parked in screening due to provider rate limits.
Community
Community members asked about how credits are used for memory functions on the Free plan and how coding and longmemeval scores are calculated on the leaderboard. One community member described SN118 (Ditto) as one of the few subnets doing substantial work.
Official
The team explained the v13 scoring stall and its cause in a subnet update, confirming the fix and that affected agents were scored. Ditto's official X account posted a demonstration of its agent turning a Google Drive document into a checklist without modifying or sending files.

24h change −7.41%

What happened
SN118 (Ditto) adjusted its emission burn rate multiple times, setting burn to 70% with gamma at 0, after which the rate reportedly reached 100% before being reset back to 70%. Separately, a validator failed to submit scores, leaving several miners' agent submissions stuck and requiring team follow-up. The team also outlined plans, discussed at an Aug 26 AMA with Subnet Summer TAO, to cover costs from subnet revenue before putting a share of profit toward buyback-and-lock or buyback-and-burn.
Community
Miners objected when the burn rate reached 100%, arguing their work was effectively going unrewarded, and asked the team to lower it back to 70%. Others asked when the miner share would be increased and reported stuck submissions awaiting validator fixes.
Official
The team said the burn adjustments were meant to manage sell pressure, later reset the rate to 70%, and stated miner payouts are being informed by estimates of research value. Ditto's X account described the subnet as paying other Bittensor subnets for search, storage and compute while directing a share of revenue toward buyback-and-lock or buyback-and-burn.

24h change −3.91%

What happened
SN118 (Ditto) rejected 29 scored agent submissions under policy v13 after a full leaderboard review for exact-artifact source violations. The subnet owner confirmed that emissions are split with a large share, reportedly around 75-80%, going to a gamma wallet rather than being burned, a departure from the standard 18% owner-emission norm. A pull request addressing stuck agent reviews was merged into the subnet repository, and SN118 announced its first paying client, a business using WhatsApp, Trello and Google Sheets, with features to be built over three months, alongside a lowered submission fee.
Community
Community members questioned the gamma wallet allocation, asking why the subnet was not following standard burn practice and whether the arrangement aligns with Bittensor's emission rules. Several pressed for specific percentage breakdowns between validators, owner, and miners.
Official
The subnet owner acknowledged that advance notice should have been given before changing the emission split, apologized for the lack of transparency, and said the split will not remain static, with plans to introduce more burn and increase the miner share going forward.

24h change −7.24%

What happened
SN118 (Ditto) redesigned its incentive mechanism for the memory track to a 75% gamma / 25% miner emission split, then announced the memory track is complete and the subnet is moving to a router competition that will include a reranker, learned retrieval weights, and a sub-7B Ditto language model. Until the new incentive mechanism is live, emissions are routed to a team UID on-chain. The team also lowered the submission fee from 0.1 to 0.05 TAO and announced onboarding its first paid business client, saying business client revenue will power token buybacks. Stored memories in Ditto nearly doubled in two weeks to 631,876, with registered accounts reaching 2,719.
Community
Miners objected to the reduced emission share under the new split, with one miner proposing an alternative 25% gamma / 75% miner split; several questioned the fairness of the change and some said they would stop mining unless it was revised. Miners also raised a case where a winning agent's code was not publicly released as expected, which the team attributed to a possible bug tied to protocol updates.
Official
The team said the memory track was saturated and that reallocating emissions reflected resource management rather than disregard for miner contributions, and confirmed lowering the submission fee to 0.05 TAO in response to miner feedback. The team also announced its first business client and said business client revenue will fund token buybacks.
