Forty-two active subnet markets rise while 78 fall
At the checked production snapshot, 42 of 128 active subnet markets were higher over 24 hours, 78 were lower and eight were effectively flat. Green Compute led at about 28.5%, followed by OpenRoboto at 19.0% and Finsight at 16.4%; rec4ll fell about 14.4%.

Subnet desk
Teutonic
Teutonic adds a new evaluation database amid fairness dispute
Teutonic said 78% of tasks in a new evaluation database came from a new source and that its training scripts and results were publicly verifiable. Miners continued disputing whether the leading model had an unfair timing advantage; no misconduct finding was established.
engy
engy buyer traffic hit by repeated 502 gateway errors
Buyers encountered repeated HTTP 502 errors reaching models while worker approvals remained queued. The team continued work toward permissionless TEE onboarding, but whitelist approval was still required at cutoff.
RedTeam
RedTeam ADA-3 v3.0.1 bug produces zero scores
A fail-fast initialization error in ADA-3 v3.0.1 caused valid runs to receive 0.0 after the first task, consuming miner slots and triggering emission cooldowns. The team had not yet published a final re-scoring policy for affected submissions.
OpenRoboto
OpenRoboto releases v0.1.0a3 with protocol 0.9.0
OpenRoboto shipped CLI v0.1.0a3, migrated to protocol 0.9.0, fixed the LingBot adapter for evidence-based training and reordered payable-refusal handling before fee processing.
KubeTEE
KubeTEE traces 5,587-alpha liquidation to root claims
KubeTEE reported that a Kraken root validator claimed about 1,856 TAO and liquidated 5,587 alpha across four coldkeys within 24 seconds on August 27. The team linked the thin-liquidity move to root-claim mechanics; this is a documented liquidation, not an inferred owner sale.
Albedo
Albedo cuts evaluation time and investigates copied-model spam
Albedo open-sourced its models and reduced evaluation time about 20% to roughly 40 minutes. The team said duplicate model submissions were flooding the queue and continued investigating possible scoring manipulation.
Ditto
Ditto doubles submission fee to 0.1 TAO
Ditto raised its submission fee from 0.05 to 0.1 TAO to cover evaluation API costs, added miner-experience and marketing staff, and placed screener policy v10 into review ahead of its next release.

Coverage notes
Searched
- All 125 TAOMarketCap active subnets matched by netuid against 125 comparable Shizzy market-cap rows
- Every active subnet number and name across public project channels, August 28 briefs and public X indexing
- SubnetRadar market tape, moments, conviction, unlock, burn, registration and lifecycle views plus public chain evidence
- Official repositories, exchange announcements, project sites, validator and miner channels
- The previous 14 dated reports and the August 27 catch-up report for semantic duplicate exclusion
- Coldkey swaps, hotkey swaps, owner and treasury movements, validator changes, usage, service health, security and staking flows
Public-data gaps
- Public X and Discord indexing is incomplete; deleted, private, login-gated and rate-limited posts cannot be exhaustively reviewed.
- No verified alpha-token unlock of at least 50,000 alpha was found for the report date or forward calendar.
- No coldkey or hotkey swap could be tied to this exact reporting window with sufficient public event identity for publication.
- The live market-cap gate matched all 125 comparable active netuids with no difference at or above 5%; the largest difference was about 0.15%.
- Empty update arrays mean no new material public signal survived the fixed-window and duplicate checks; this is informational, not financial advice.
