Teutonic-II opens a 110B permissionless training run
Const launched a 110-billion-parameter sparse Mixture-of-Experts competition on Subnet 3 with a public genesis checkpoint and an open-source checkpoint plan.
Mining fairness disputes spread across Affine, engy and NIOME
Three active competitions faced fresh miner challenges involving champion selection, emission fairness or scoring consistency. The disputes remained unresolved at cutoff.
TAO Galaxy reports $500,000 in strategy TVL
TAO Galaxy said its systematic Bittensor subnet strategies reached $500,000 in total value locked four weeks after launch.

Teutonic
Teutonic-II opens a 110B permissionless training run
Const launched a new Subnet 3 competition that scales Teutonic from a 10B model to a 110B sparse Mixture-of-Experts model. The genesis checkpoint is public and the team says every checkpoint and the final dataset will be open source.
Hone
Hone registration fees surge amid mining concerns
Public miner discussion focused on sharply higher registration costs and whether the current mining opportunity justifies them. No protocol fault was independently confirmed during the window.
Pareton
Pareton clarifies launch timing and token-sale questions
The team addressed community questions about the launch sequence and token-sale plans. The brief records the clarification, while final timing remains dependent on the team's published rollout.
ORO
ORO gains 61% as network metrics stabilize
SubnetRadar recorded a 61% alpha-price rise alongside improving network metrics. The move is market data, not evidence that the underlying operating risks have been resolved.
engy
engy miners challenge emission fairness
Miner discussion questioned whether emissions and routing were being distributed fairly. The dispute remained unresolved at cutoff and is presented as a developing governance and operations issue.
NIOME
NIOME reviews consistency-score and TWS behavior
Miners and the team discussed consistency scoring and time-weighted score behavior after uneven results. No final scoring change was confirmed during the window.
RedTeam
RedTeam updates dashboard and fixes scoring bug
RedTeam published a dashboard update and reported a fix for a scoring defect. The change is recorded as shipped based on the project brief.
conjectures
Conjectures reports progress on lean auto-formalization
The team highlighted continuing work on Lean-based auto-formalization. The update describes development progress rather than a completed product milestone.
Vocence
Vocence updates scripts and schedules miner Q&A
Vocence published script updates and said it planned a miner Q&A. The software update is confirmed by the project brief; the Q&A remained upcoming at cutoff.
MicroTensor
MicroTensor extends Round 1236 submission window
MicroTensor extended the Round 1236 submission window, giving miners additional time to complete entries. The brief did not indicate a broader change to competition rules.
SOMA
SOMA reviews miner token-usage metrics
The SOMA team reviewed how miner token usage is measured and discussed the implications for scoring. A final scoring-policy change was not confirmed during the window.
Ditto
Ditto rises 26% while validator queue issues emerge
SubnetRadar recorded a 26% alpha-price gain while participants reported validator queue problems. The price move is verified market data; the operational issue remained under review.
Affine
Affine miners challenge recent champion selections
Miners asked the team to reverse champion selections they considered questionable. The challenge remained a live dispute at cutoff, with no independently verified misconduct finding.

Coverage notes
Searched
- All 128 active subnet records carried forward from the last validated roster for complete netuid coverage
- Every public SubnetRadar brief indexed for 2026-08-24, plus the Bittensor news and live-moment feeds
- Official Bittensor releases, project announcements, TAO Media reporting and public analytics sources
- Prior dated reports for exact and semantic duplicate exclusion
- Market, conviction, wallet-flow, security, scoring, validator, miner and product-usage signals
Public-data gaps
- Public X and Discord indexing is incomplete; deleted, private, login-gated and rate-limited posts cannot be exhaustively reviewed.
- Company and team operating metrics are identified as reported figures unless an independent primary dataset was available.
- Individual wallet movements do not establish identity, coordination, motive or a durable market trend.
- No verified alpha-token unlock of at least 50,000 alpha was found for this report window.
- Empty update arrays mean no new material public signal survived the fixed-window and duplicate checks; this is informational, not financial advice.
