$TAO
The very first @ExploitSummit feels like one of those "you had to be there" moments for Bittensor | $TAO
Proud to be joining as a KOL ambassador
September 28–29
New City Gas, Montréal 🇨🇦
1000 people, capped on purpose
Tickets: https://t.co/VdQZFrU1GT
Builders, validators, researchers, subnet founders and everyone pushing open intelligence forward
If you're still undecided, pull in and come grab a beer with me 🍻
Before signing a $TAO Bittensor trade, the screen should answer a few basic questions.
What subnet am I entering?
What route am I taking?
How much depth is behind the trade?
What price impact am I accepting?
What changes after confirmation?
That pre-signature moment matters.
TaoSwap is built to keep the trade, the subnet context, and the wallet action in the same flow.
While everyone was away during the weekend, @const_reborn dropped a bombshell that is currently shaking all subnet owners and teams. Yesterday, we saw most subnet owners who had been silent come out and speak to their communities, with some even claiming their subnet is legit and not a bunk.
In case you missed the announcement, this is exactly what was posted:
"Hello @everyone in the Bittensor family.
Public service announcement: Starting next week, we will be introducing an interim measure to block emissions on Bittensor subnets which are engaging in active foul play and/or with no clear path to adding value into the Bittensor ecosystem.
This will need to be done on a case-by-case basis, however the criteria for blocked emissions will revolve around the following:
1) Long-term burning of 100% miner emissions with no plan from the team to bring them online.
2) Active self-mining i.e. subnets that do not have code and instead use stake weight to pass emissions to their own keys.
3) Dead or fully abandoned subnets, or those that have not announced themselves i.e. "unclaimed" subnets.
4) Subnets engaged in TaoFlow exploitation, such as 104, which have very little to no chain activity from the network at large.
A chain operation to block emission will be available on Tuesday to carry this out. Note this is not a long term solution as further protocol upgrades such as conviction, shorting, and the eventual full decentralized governance system of Bittensor, coming into play this year, will allow much more organic and swarm based intelligence to organize Bittensor's emission vector.
In the near term, I believe that there is broad support and consensus for this activity as it will drive more value towards subnets on Bittensor (you know who you are) that are pushing forward a decentralized vision for artificial intelligence.
Thank you everyone
Much love"
@const_reborn didn’t stop there. After the announcement post was made, he launched another operation by entering different subnet channels and asking a question that allowed miners to react based on whether they believed a subnet was legit or bunk.
Here’s what he asked:
“Miners, thumbs up 👍 if this subnet is legit and 👎 if this subnet is bunk.”
We scanned through the subnet channels to compile the final results based on miners’ reactions:
Here are the final stats:
▫️78 subnets were classified as legit
▫️57 subnets were classified as bunk
📌 Note: While compiling this data, we discovered that many subnets had an equal number of reactions on both the legit and bunk sides. In such cases, we included those subnets in both columns, which is why the total exceeds 128 subnets.
During the process, we also noticed that some subnet teams were using alt accounts to react positively to their own subnet so they could appear legit.
At the same time, we observed that some individuals were reacting negatively against genuinely active subnets in an attempt to push them into the bunk category.
We understand this may not be the final screening method the @opentensor will use, but what Const did gave the community a chance to openly express their opinions on which subnets are actually building and which ones may only be here to extract money.
For additional network stats and more insight into the ongoing issues within the network, the following data was sourced from @IntoTAO:
❌ 54 subnets are burning at 100%
❌ 60 subnets have no active miners
❌ The network average burn rate is 69%
We genuinely believe the cleansing that is about to happen across the Bittensor network is important and could help position the ecosystem to a much higher standard as it continues to grow. So expect significant changes to begin happening this week.
And as @CryptoZPunisher said earlier:
“Adapt or die, no matter the timing.”
Good luck to all subnet owners and teams out there 👍
@ReggyStev We landed on 50 based on averages at the time.
My humble opinion is anything above 0 isn't "healthy" but it would be a pretty boring metric in that case.
V3 will be dynamic once it goes live.
