What happened
A miner (UID 136) recorded a score of 1.0 on the subnet's BEX challenge using an undisclosed bypass technique, prompting accusations from other miners that the result was obtained unfairly. The team reviewed the submission and concluded the technique did not constitute cheating, since it was available to all miners at the time it was used. The submission was granted full BEX emission, and the validation checklist was updated to block the same technique in future challenges. The team also launched a new website that tracks buybacks, conviction-locked alpha, and monthly miner submissions, with a linked buyback wallet for verification.
Community
Miners widely disputed the 1.0 score, with several asking for revalidation or for emissions to UID 136 to be withheld, arguing the outcome discourages genuine detection work. A second miner's near-passing score of 0.7956 was also questioned as possibly bypass-related, with one suggestion to treat it as equivalent to the 0.8 passing threshold. Other miners said they could no longer compete with the top submission using standard methods and asked when a new challenge set would open.
Official
The team stated the bypass technique was not cheating because it was available to all miners at the time, confirmed full BEX emission for the submission, and updated the validation checklist to prevent the same method from passing future challenges.
