Today's ranked news
Lium takes the subnet market-cap lead: $964K billed, plus TAO borrowing on Mentat
Lium reports $964,000 billed to 1,187 renters in its September 9 monthly review, with 36% month-over-month growth, 1,908 new signups and about 80% user retention. It says 63% of rentals were initiated programmatically. Capacity now spans 68 datacenters in 21 countries. Today, Mentat added live TAO borrowing against Lium collateral; its application lists the SN51 market. At 11:07 AM ET, the market snapshot puts Lium ahead of Chutes by subnet market capitalization: approximately 422,226 TAO versus 405,641 TAO. Lium’s token gained 8.65% against TAO over 24 hours. Billing and retention are company-reported; market rank is a timestamped snapshot.
+8.6% α/TAO 24H price action as of Sep 10, 2026, 11:07 AM ET
Epago up over 1,100%, with TAO emissions switched off
SN36 is now Epago, an open deep-research project with published code and a model competition built around Tongyi-DeepResearch. Its token was up 1144.71% against TAO over 24 hours at 11:07 AM ET. The team reported a 1,050-TAO purchase and perpetual lock. But the subsequent transaction 9032187-0016, executed September 9 at 19:57:36 UTC, sets subnet 36’s emission-enabled flag to false through a sudo call; the explorer shows a successful execution. The latest snapshot still records zero subnet emissions. This is a confirmed administrative switch, not just a falling allocation. Epago’s public agent API is not open yet and its site labels the demo as scripted. We did not establish the decision-maker’s identity or reason for the shutoff.

TAO becomes a Bankr launch pair — new token markets can launch directly from X
ForeverMoney announced at 11:25 AM ET that TAO is live as a Bankr launch pair for Base and Robinhood Chain. Bankr’s own documentation explicitly lists TAO as a supported quote token on Base and describes launching through X. New projects can create trading pools where their token trades against TAO, giving TAO another use as liquidity for new markets. This also gives builders and AI agents a simpler route to launch around TAO. If those projects attract users, they could bring more TAO-denominated liquidity, trading activity and new communities into the ecosystem. The Robinhood Chain availability is attributed to ForeverMoney’s announcement. Added after today’s full research cutoff.
Conjectures publishes a proof for the near-half-density case of Green’s Problem 51
Conjectures says its miners solved a case that had been open for 16 years: the near-half-density question in Green’s Problem 51. Its September 9 working paper, by Jensen Kohlmeyer and Liam Kruer, describes the theorem and provides Lean verification and reproduction details. The result concerns guaranteed subspaces in sums of dense sets over a binary vector space. It does not solve Green’s full extremal problem or the related question over the integers. We checked the published paper and its stated scope; we did not independently rerun the formal verifier.
Emission follow-up: some allocations return, while others fall to zero
At 11:07 AM ET, UMI’s observed subnet allocation is 0.107% and DSperse’s is approximately 0.00002%, versus zero in yesterday’s saved snapshot. Leadpoet, Hotfloat and Feval now show zero after previously positive readings. These are allocation observations, which alone do not prove an administrative switch. Epago is different: the successful disable transaction is documented in its five-star story above. Pool-side TAO emissions, participant alpha emission and validator burn settings are separate mechanisms; one number does not show whether every miner is getting paid.
Crucible Wallet reaches iOS in the US
Crucible Labs announced US iOS availability on September 9, adding to its existing Android and Chrome distribution. The team lists Unified Swap, portfolio tracking and Ledger support. This announcement was posted shortly before yesterday’s cutoff and is included here as a late-found update with its actual date retained.
TensorUSD announces a long/short strategy pivot with ViewPallet; TUSDT stays
TensorUSD plans to turn SN113 into a competition for profitable and delta-neutral strategies across subnet-alpha markets, while retaining the TUSDT stablecoin and existing AI liquidator. Its September 10 announcement describes a collaboration with ViewPallet through which users could allocate TAO to miner strategies and copy positions. A performance fee on realized profits would fund protocol operations. This is an announced direction and proposed revenue mechanism: the post calls the derivatives system upcoming, and we did not find a matching new launch announcement from ViewPallet.
Bitcast adds TestDrive as its third creator application
TestDrive joined the Bitcast ecosystem on September 9, bringing indie hackers, app builders and solopreneurs into its creator network. Participants try products, publish their own assessments and earn through the attention that is verified. Bitcast explicitly identifies this as creator application number three, and TestDrive’s account shares the announcement. The integration was announced just after yesterday’s research cutoff; it is a new addition to this edition.
Bitsec names Talisman as a new continuous-auditing client
Bitsec says Sentios audited Talisman’s updated wallet extension and wallet app, and welcomes Talisman as its newest continuous-auditing client. The announcement quotes Talisman’s extension v3.8.1 release, which adds transaction-risk analysis, clearer decoding and root-validator basket visibility. Talisman’s release confirms the product update; the audit engagement is reported by Bitsec and was not independently reconciled against a public audit report.
Ditto confirms 1,342+ app integrations are live
Ditto’s September 9 post explicitly says its app integrations are live, including Google Workspace, Notion, Linear and HackMD. It supports multiple accounts and describes a shared memory layer that helps agents coordinate across tools. This supplies the first-party activation statement missing from yesterday’s scan. It confirms this product feature, without implying every element of Ditto V2 or the next mining benchmark has launched.
Score Studio targets September 16 with SayGM routing
SayGM announced that Score’s image generation, training and model deployment will be available through its inference routing, with Score Studio scheduled for September 16. Score shared the announcement from its own account. Separately, Score plans public client and partner office hours next week to help miners improve results on private football and cricket tracks. These are announced next steps; the routing integration is described as coming soon.
NIOME details its GENOME migration test — portal and Q4 rollout still ahead
NIOME published the design for a controlled GENOME-to-NIOME conviction swap. The first test would be capped at 5% of snapshot market capitalization, approximately $27,000, with a 100,000-GENOME limit per eligible wallet. The design escrows GENOME, delivers locked SN55 alpha and burns the matching GENOME after delivery is verified; failed delivery has a time-based refund path. Crucially, the same post says the portal is still being finalized and targets Q4 without a firm date. This is a migration plan, not evidence that the full migration or projected inflow has already happened.
Ridges opens Database Engineering competition submissions
Ridges announced that its next competition is live and accepting submissions. Agents will tackle database bugs, query optimization and work involving ORMs and GraphQL. The team is moving into another specialist engineering niche where results can be assessed on practical tasks. This is a current competition opening, separate from a generic roadmap or the older broad coding challenge.
ChronoSeek becomes Witness: video-understanding research preview published
SN20’s identity changed from ChronoSeek to Witness on September 9. The new website describes agents that selectively inspect video frames and audio, then reconstruct events with a record of what they observed and what it cost. It shows recorded development traces and explicitly says public launch is pending validation, the dashboard is coming soon and the displayed examples are not live subnet telemetry. The name and research direction are confirmed; a fully launched mining service is not.
Cascade schedules miner-funded rounds for September 11
Cascade’s updated source schedules the first miner-funded round at block 9,046,800, projected for September 11 around 20:30 UTC / 4:30 PM ET. Miners would fund their training leg using their own Lium account; the operator continues paying other defined parts of evaluation. The release also adds private submissions, while multivariate scoring is scheduled separately at block 9,068,400. The old September 4 funded-launch date passed without release. These are future block gates, and timing depends on the chain.
MVTRX clarifies what is live: SWAP and Hangar, with the trading venue still in testing
MVTRX’s first AMA recap says SWAP is live on mainnet and Hangar can deploy agents to managed infrastructure. It identifies the v0.6.1 scoring changes as testnet work, with mainnet targeted for the following week, and says its live trading venue remains in final testing on a private network using real prices. The new scoring direction emphasizes market making. Options and derivatives are a future ambition. This first-party account gives a clearer deployment status than the earlier aggregated release descriptions.
StonkFun expands stock-paired launches and reports September 9 revenue
StonkFun says new coin-launch pairs include tokenized RDDT, BABA, COST, DELL, UPS, RBLX, SHOP and others, with GRND added in a September 10 post. Sunrise separately confirms 20 US stocks issued by Backpack Securities went live on Solana. StonkFun’s September 9 figures report $1,355,566 in platform revenue, $814,028 in buybacks and 4.55 million tokens burned. These are platform-wide reported figures, not TAO-only activity. The new story is the expanded asset range; TAO pairing was already covered in earlier editions.
Tensia’s bots now send subnet and chart links to Taoswap
Tensia says all subnet and chart links in its bots now open Taoswap. Its announcement points readers to subnet comparison, portfolio metrics and validator baskets showing allocation weights. This is a routing and data-access integration, not a new token listing or trading recommendation.
dFusion opens Persona conversations to their owners
dFusion says users can now talk with the Persona built from their profile, answers, corrected examples and selected public posts. It describes answers that show their supporting material and acknowledge missing evidence. Opening these Personas to everyone else is the next step, so the announcement is not being described as a fully public launch.
Lium patches rental isolation and request replay; SDK fixes runaway billing risk
Lium merged changes that isolate rental containers from neighboring containers and reject signed metrics/log requests outside a five-minute freshness window. These address documented weaknesses, with no confirmed exploitation established in this scan. Its SDK also schedules pod termination as soon as a rental is created, rather than waiting for readiness; previously, a pod that failed to start could remain billable without an end time. The code changes are public, but fleet-wide rollout was not independently checked.
DSperse digest reports an unhealthy owner validator and patches in progress
A September 10 channel digest describes an owner-validator outage lasting 17 epochs and reports patches being deployed. The original conversation was not independently accessed. The current market feed shows a tiny positive subnet emission share, about 0.00002%, after yesterday’s zero reading; that does not demonstrate healthy request traffic or restored miner payouts. The previously reported v14.14.3 guard is not being treated as a new release today.
Pareton adds SGLang campaigns alongside vLLM
Pareton’s merged release lets miners submit optimization patches against either a pinned vLLM or SGLang baseline. The new launch guide includes a Qwen3.8-27B-FP8 campaign on one H200 and explicitly documents a zero-emission campaign setup. This expands the framework available to competition operators; it is not evidence that the example campaign is already paying rewards.
ORO publishes its generated-environment test pack; legacy agents need changes
ORO’s new release preparation adds a 35-task local qualifying pack spanning seven task families, a reference environment agent and matching runtime checks. Its miner guide says legacy ShoppingBench agents must adopt the generated-environment interface. This is a practical migration for builders following yesterday’s YC story. The public test artifacts and documentation are confirmed; they do not by themselves prove that all production competitions have switched over.
404 demonstrates a playable generated game and previews a creator Game Jam
404 showed a coastal racing game built with its generated assets and 3JS generator repository, using Fable 5 as the coding agent. The team says a creator Game Jam is coming, but has not supplied its launch date or prize terms in this announcement. The playable-game demonstration is current; the competition remains a preview.
Blockmachine adds Business Plus to its API plans
Blockmachine added a Business Plus tier for teams between its Business and Enterprise plans. It now describes six plans ranging from $9 to $999 per month, with its trace API and archive access on every paid tier. This is a concrete packaging change for users of the service; no new customer or revenue total was disclosed.
SayGM simplifies Azure and Foundry routing and checks deployment identity
SayGM removed an intermediate cloud-model routing component from its miner image. Requests now go directly to the existing encrypted upstream connections when deployments use the expected model names. The verifier checks those names and model formats, refusing startup or taking a worker offline when a named deployment mismatches. These are published routing and verification changes, separate from the upcoming Score Studio integration.
Gradients documents a Friday 14:00 UTC tournament completion deadline
Gradients’ updated miner documentation sets Friday at 14:00 UTC / 10 AM ET as the expected completion deadline for each tournament’s starting week, regardless of training time, GPU availability or reverted rounds. A reminder fires 30 minutes before the deadline. Completion remains manual after the winning code is reviewed; the change does not automatically end a tournament or certify its winner.
RedTeam scoring delays remain under investigation
The September 10 channel digest reports payload-collection failures in headless-browser mode and says batch sizes were reduced to speed feedback. Miners describe lengthy delays and missing scores. We did not retrieve the underlying private conversation to verify each speaker or the repair’s effect, so this operational report remains developing. It is not evidence that a brand-new RedTeam subnet launched today.
Harnyx adds DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash to its miner toolchain
Harnyx says every miner can now call DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash from its agents. A matching source change adds the model through its provider routing. The addition gives the research swarm another model option; it does not establish a measured improvement in Harnyx’s overall accuracy or cost.
NOVA Blueprint digest reports a pause pending Boltz2 integration
The latest NOVA channel digest says the winning Blueprint submission’s source was published, clearer native-code and obfuscation rules are being prepared, and the competition is paused until Boltz2 integration. It also reports refunds for two later submissions. The direct Discord discussion and refund transactions were not independently inspected, so these remain developing operational claims. This is unrelated to approval of a drug or treatment.
Herald starts Exploit’s press-distribution campaign
Herald says its Exploit Summit campaign has begun with a release appearing on Business Insider’s Markets site. The linked announcement promotes the Montreal conference on September 28–29. This is evidence of a press-distribution placement, not a claim that Business Insider independently investigated or endorsed the project.
Gittensor widens Muse’s checks and adds local-server API compatibility
Gittensor’s new source adds compatibility with LM Studio and Ollama REST APIs and broadens its Muse performance checks across more context lengths. A separate optimization reports approximately 1.18× faster decoding at 64K context using an int8 attention path. That figure is specific to the reported workload, not a general speed claim for every model or machine.
UMI publishes its roadmap while bootstrap incentives remain a separate cutover
UMI’s post-AMA roadmap targets SN78 activation, benchmark work and private TestFlight through Q4, followed by a bitsign launch in the first half of 2027. New source adds validator supervision and an audited bootstrap worker. The temporary mechanism rewards eligible endpoint service equally rather than ranking translation quality. SN78’s observed subnet emission share is now 0.107%, versus zero in yesterday’s snapshot; that does not verify individual miner payouts. The September 9 “we are live” post linked the AMA event, so it is not being used as proof of incentive activation.
Reliquary publishes V1 miner migration and revised submission allowances
Reliquary’s current README provides a V1 miner migration, a pinned image and a September 10 training-run identifier. Operators are told to preserve registered keys, miner state and model caches while switching profiles. New source work expands submission allowance to cover a complete collection window and improves checkpoint recovery. The README explicitly says configuration is not a go-live notice and retains runtime readiness gates, so a universal completed cutover is not established here.
Compelle refreshes debate topics every six hours; API and sealed strategies are planned
Compelle says its new topic system is live, drawing from prediction markets, current discussions and longer-running debates every six hours. It targets sealed miner strategies for October and an MCP/API integration by year-end, with private beta testing already underway. Lower-cost models and deeper reasoning settings remain under evaluation.
SN84 owner coldkey swap is scheduled, not completed
SubnetRadar reports a scheduled coldkey swap for the account owning SN84, from 5G1hDN…tbbd to 0xf072…6cf1. Its chain-event page records block 9,030,810 at September 9, 15:25 UTC and labels the status Scheduled; its X alert describes a mandatory delay of roughly five days. This is a custody/control change to watch. It does not establish a completed subnet sale, buyer identity or purchase price.
Cortex adds research submission guidance and fixes sealed burn-weight submission
Cortex published a tbench research guide and fixed validators skipping a correctly sealed UID0 burn outcome. Unsealed results remain ineligible for submission. Its September 10 website table says Proof and Bounty submissions are accepted and judged, but other text on the same page still describes partial judging, disconnected Bounty scoring and automatic payouts not being wired. The table also says weights are not yet sealed. With these conflicting status descriptions, a complete paid-marketplace launch is not established.
CookingTAO targets beta v2 within a week
CookingTAO’s September 9 announcement invites developers to submit miner code through its Mining Management Portal and targets beta v2 within a week. The team says subnet parameters were modified for its incentive mechanism, with more details to follow. The invitation and timing are confirmed as a plan; this announcement does not establish that normal miner payouts or the full platform are already live.
Watch the RL Bryer replay: 2009 Bitcoin OG’s next big bet
Yesterday’s conversation with RL Bryer is now available as a public replay, running 1:02:17. The video library has been updated from Upcoming to Replay. The latest members briefing remains the September 8 news and TAO price-action video at 18:35; no newer upload or scheduled stream appeared in the checked channel samples.
NeverPlayAlone retries failed artifact uploads instead of aborting the round
A new NeverPlayAlone change retries transient artifact uploads and skips individual entries that still fail, allowing the rest of a round to proceed. The repository confirms the handling change; no measured network-wide availability improvement was published with it.
Beam marks six months and shifts its focus toward adoption
Beam’s six-month update summarizes its transport network, public transfer verification, large cross-cloud transfers and developer tools. The team says its next phase is increasing use in applications, enterprise workflows and AI infrastructure. It does not announce a new enterprise contract or establish that future petabyte/exabyte targets have been reached.
Claims recovers failed adjudication batches without discarding successful cases
Claims’ validator change splits malformed adjudication batches into smaller groups. An irrecoverable single case is excluded with a recovery explanation, while successfully adjudicated cases can continue. This reduces the impact of a model-output failure without accepting an incomplete result as valid.

Public-data gaps
- X searches and account timelines were sampled, not exhaustively paginated. Grouped searches excluded replies and returned unrelated matches for ambiguous names. Private, deleted, unindexed and unsampled posts may be missing.
- Private Discord history was not directly accessed. DSperse’s outage, RedTeam’s delays and NOVA’s Blueprint pause/refunds remain developing because their original discussions or completed recovery actions were not independently verified.
- Five repository paths returned 404: deprecated/deprecated, actual-computer/actual-subnet-95, NIOME-BITTENSOR/NIOME, Oh-My-Ditto/ditto and Satori119/Satori. New identities and accessible replacement repositories were considered. Cross-linked Lium SDK work is attributed to SN51 rather than SN22.
- Reported billing, retention, customer relationships and platform revenue have not been reconciled against private business records. Conjectures’ paper and stated proof scope were reviewed, but the formal verifier was not rerun.
- The Epago disable transaction is confirmed. The signer’s real-world identity, decision rationale and any later reversal are not established. Zero or positive allocations elsewhere do not by themselves identify an administrative switch or verify miner payouts.
- Grok and aggregator launch descriptions were corrected against primary sources: UMI’s “live” post linked an AMA; NIOME’s portal is still being finalized; Witness is a research preview; Cascade has future activation gates; Cortex and Reliquary retain explicit readiness limits.
- Previously covered ORO YC acceptance, Chutes CEO news, Hippius pricing, original TAO pairs and the September 9 morning restoration were not republished as new launches. No new verified CONST/BUTT utility launch was established; community treasury proposals were not treated as shipped features.
