Capcomp cuts the champion share to 90% and opens one resubmission per run

Capcomp reduced the leader’s share of the payable miner pool from 95% to 90%; ranks 2–10 now divide the other 10% by rank instead of grade. Because 80% of each run still burns, the winner receives 18% of total run emission and runners-up share 2%. The code also permits one resubmission per hotkey per run. Separately, miners reported dashboard and signed-report discrepancies that remained unresolved at cutoff.

Prometheon removes Chutes and moves model execution to validators

Prometheon changed commitments to a repository-plus-revision format. Validators now resolve the submitted SHA, download the checkpoint, and run the miner’s model themselves, removing the Chutes deployment and the checks that previously verified it. This is a breaking format-2 migration and requires the database layer to drop the old chute identifier.

2026-08-20 edition →SN111 · ClaimsverifiedNot rated

Claims bounds work per run and hardens missing-assessment handling

Claims changed validation to assess paper claims in one diagnostic pass, bounded the number of eligible claims and adjudication cases, and added safe handling for missing claim assessments. The team separately reported output-schema inconsistencies in recent test runs and said new tasks will wait for contract adjustments, so production stability remains under observation.

Minotaur fixes cross-chain benchmarks that scored an empty plan

Minotaur found that cross-chain benchmark scoring could inspect the destination placeholder instead of the source-chain execution leg, leaving the scored plan empty. The validator now selects the source leg for these tasks. A second patch stops one failed Chopsticks health probe from declaring the isolated benchmark sidecar dead.

Lium draws a 631 TAO whale stake while Chutes loses 615 TAO in two trades

The finalized event feed recorded a 631 TAO stake into SN51 Lium, a 315 TAO stake into ORO, and two separate Chutes exits of 315 and 300 TAO. These are distinct single-wallet transactions. They are verified flows, not proof of coordinated positioning or a project catalyst.

Spec 447 conviction rules are live with no challenger over the takeover gate

The live conviction dashboard now identifies spec 447 and its single-hotkey takeover threshold of more than 18% of eligible alpha. It showed 29.79 million alpha locked across 122 subnets and zero challengers above the gate. The same window added roughly 393.6K alpha of OpenRoboto conviction; no unlock of at least 50,000 alpha was found.

One coldkey swap is scheduled; no additional completed owner change is verified

A wallet scheduled a coldkey swap from a BIP44-style address to an Ethereum-style address at block 8,882,744. The event is a pending key operation, not evidence of an ownership sale. Apart from the finalized SN36 re-registration, no other completed subnet-owner change or new registration was verified in the reporting window.

SN36 re-registers for 501.15 TAO as market breadth falls to 31%

At block 8,884,359, SN36 changed from owner 5GLGT…LUxc to 5DCjv…JxpZ in a 501.15 TAO registration. At the cutoff scan, only 31% of subnet markets were higher; the newly reset SN36 market showed the largest 24-hour move at about +279.7%, while Instant was down about 24.5%. The SN36 move follows a slot reset and should not be read like an uninterrupted incumbent-market return.

TAO rebounds while 42 subnet markets remain at near-full miner burn

TaoStats showed TAO near $207.58 at the morning scan, up about 8.3% over 24 hours with market capitalization near $2.35 billion. SubnetRadar counted 42 of 128 reporting subnets at or above 90% miner burn, so the root-token rebound did not translate into broad alpha-market participation.

2026-08-19 edition →SN15 · OROverifiedNot rated

A single wallet directs 2,497 TAO into ORO

At block 8,874,218, one wallet bought into SN15 with 2,497 TAO. SubnetRadar identified it as ORO's largest single-day purchase and said it more than doubled the subnet's staked TAO at the time. The transaction is verified on-chain; the buyer's intent and future actions are unknown.

2026-08-19 edition →SN25 · URverifiedNot rated

UR replaces Mainframe and publishes its privacy-network stack

SN25 now identifies as UR and has published a reference implementation for a decentralized privacy and VPN network. The team says its existing URnetwork product has 350,000 monthly active users and more than 80,000 residential IP providers, while subnet testnet and full production operation remain ahead. The product metrics are team-reported and were not independently audited.

Protected-PCIe attestation blocks some engy miner provisioning

Multiple miners reported a GPU-not-genuine attestation error even with confidential-compute settings in place. The team traced the blocker to standalone attestation not supporting Protected PCIe systems and said a fix is coming, but no delivery time was given by cutoff.

2026-08-19 edition →SN118 · DittoverifiedNot rated

Ditto v12 tightens benchmark rules after a top-five review

Ditto deployed v12 and reviewed the five leading agents after continued benchmark-exploitation concerns. Four entries failed the team's fairness review, one remained, and a retest mechanism that had been disabled accidentally was restored. Questions about retroactive enforcement remain unresolved.

Network conviction eases 0.8% over 24 hours

SubnetRadar showed 29.54 million alpha locked across 123 subnets, with 25.41 million perpetual and 4.13 million decaying. The dashboard recorded eight conviction events over seven days; today's visible events were below the 50,000-alpha Unlock Watch threshold. Decaying positions release continuously rather than as guaranteed one-day cliffs.

Eight hotkey swaps, with no coldkey swap or owner change in the daily window

The on-chain activity index counted eight finalized hotkey-swap events during the rolling 24-hour window, including a subnet-scoped SN120 rotation at block 8,879,116. It counted zero coldkey swaps and zero subnet-owner changes. Key rotations are operational events and do not, by themselves, prove a sale or change of project control.

2026-08-18 edition →SN44 · ScoreverifiedNot rated

Score corrects image dimensions used by its polygon scorer

Score replaced placeholder one-by-one image dimensions with dimensions read from the real frame when available, adding tests around the adaptive intersection-over-union path. The fix addresses a concrete scoring-input defect; its effect on live rankings was not independently measured by cutoff.

2026-08-18 edition →SN51 · lium.ioverifiedNot rated

Lium verifies GPU persistence after applying power caps

Lium now reads back both the applied GPU power limit and persistence mode after changing a cap. It warns when persistence is off because the cap can revert after a driver unload, while avoiding false warnings when the field is unavailable. This extends yesterday’s hardware-truth work with a new operational safeguard.

2026-08-18 edition →SN55 · NIOMEverifiedNot rated

NIOME clarifies its 720-block task cadence and pool separation

The team said one scoring interval lasts 720 blocks, roughly 2.4 hours, and miners should expect new tasks at that cadence. It also recommended keeping cas9 and cas12a work in separate pools to avoid skewed result distribution. These are new operating clarifications, distinct from yesterday’s consistency-score dispute.

2026-08-18 edition →SN62 · RidgesverifiedNot rated

Ridges adds narrowly scoped Kubernetes capabilities for verifier cleanup

Ridges added DAC_OVERRIDE, FOWNER and CHOWN to the root verifier container so it can reset agent-owned worktrees, while documenting that a non-root agent process does not retain those capabilities. Tests now pin the intended capability set. This changes verifier execution plumbing, not miner rewards.
