SN122 CookingTAO targets launch within the next week
SN122 CookingTAO’s official account says the subnet is targeting launch within the next week. Today’s channel brief describes final incentive-mechanism validation and miner-code submissions, with miner emissions intended to start at launch. The official statement establishes a near-term target, not a completed activation or guaranteed launch date.
A direct near-term launch target is worth tracking, but the operational milestone remains pending.
Bittensor runtime 466 caps staking scan fees after the maximum-fee issue
A staking-fee issue drew attention after Doug Sillars reported that failed transactions could pay the roughly 0.0465 TAO maximum estimate. The core fix caps the charged hotkey-scan allowance at four hotkeys while retaining full execution weight for block accounting, including supported wrapped calls and alpha-paid fees. The final merged 466 follow-up keeps the existing four-second native block budget: the proposed increase to twelve seconds was removed. Sillars subsequently reported the issue fixed with 466. The code is verified; this report did not independently query Finney’s active runtime or reproduce a live transaction fee.
A transaction-cost issue and its concrete repair affect users across subnets, so both the warning and subsequent fix deserve prominent coverage.
Emission watch: SN10 Pareton, SN58 and SN92 MicroTensor reach zero in the saved snapshot
At 10:42 AM ET, SN10 Pareton, SN58 (previously Greevils) and SN92 MicroTensor have zero observed network allocation, compared with positive values in yesterday’s saved snapshot. SN127 Astrid moves the other way, from zero to a very small 0.000067%. SN15 ORO retains a positive 3.51% allocation. These are observations of allocation to subnets, not a measurement of miner payments, owner intent or burn weights. They do not establish that Const or Arbos manually switched any subnet off.
The on/off allocation changes are relevant across the network, but their causes must not be inferred from the snapshot alone.
StonkFun reports $900,646 daily revenue and $541,460 in buybacks
StonkFun’s September 17 update reports $900,646 of revenue, $541,460 in buybacks and 2.52 million STONK burned. A separate announcement says cumulative rewards distributed to holders of its reward coins have reached $50 million. These are platform-wide, project-reported figures, not TAO-specific fees or TAO burned. StonkFun also announced USO-paired launches today. The TAO pairing introduced earlier this month remains context rather than a new launch.
A fresh dated revenue-and-buyback report merits coverage, while platform totals must not be presented as value accruing directly to TAO.
BaseStonk reports $35M in first-month volume and 1,530 token launches
BaseStonk’s one-month update reports more than $35 million in cumulative trading volume, 1,530 tokens launched and over $314,000 routed to creators. It also reports 114 million BSTONK burned through more than 42,000 automated buybacks. These are the platform’s own figures, not an independent audit. They cover the whole platform and do not isolate activity from SN80 OpenRoboto or other TAO-related pairs.
A first-month operating update gives useful context for a platform now offering a subnet-token launch pair.
Artificial Cat reports nearly 300 TAO distributed to holders
Artificial Cat’s account reports that cumulative distributions to holders are approaching 300 TAO. This is a community-token update, not a Bittensor subnet emission allocation. The amount is project-reported and the recipient transactions were not independently reconciled in this scan. Separately, TaoCats teased a possible Const-focused rebrand; no completed rebrand is confirmed.
A new reported distribution milestone is relevant to the community-token watch, with the scope and verification limits stated.
New Shizzy episode: Bittensor vs Big AI
The public video library now features “Bittensor vs Big AI | Can TAO Take On OpenAI & Anthropic?” The September 17 episode runs 25:20 and covers the decentralized-AI thesis alongside TAO and subnet updates. The existing members-video access remains available separately.
A new public episode gives readers a direct follow-up to the daily written news.
SN44 Score Studio launches with SN28 SayGM inference and a route to token burns
SN44 Score Studio is live, bringing data labeling, model training, evaluation and deployment into one computer-vision workspace. SN28 SayGM confirms that new users automatically receive an inference instance, with credits subsidized on the free plan. OpenTensor says funded custom-model bounties trigger SN44 buybacks and burns, while SN44 Score plans to use Studio profits for additional buybacks and burns. The significance is a usable product that brings customers to subnet infrastructure and links paid work to the token. The launch and public product site are verified; new revenue totals and completed Studio-funded burns have not been disclosed.
A public product launch, confirmed integration between two subnets and a stated commercial path to token demand deserve the lead position.
SN66 Conjectures publishes proofs for both parts of Erdős Problem 14
SN66 Conjectures reports that its miners have solved both parts of Erdős Problem 14, a question about integers that cannot be represented uniquely as the sum of two elements of a set. The project has published separate Lean source files and says its verifier accepted the result, which concerns a square-root lower bound. This is a new problem, distinct from the earlier Erdős 96 announcement. The independent Erdős Problems directory still labels #14 open, so wider mathematical acceptance remains to be established. SN66 alpha is up 23.7% against TAO over 24 hours at 10:56 AM ET.
A claimed solution to a decades-old research problem, accompanied by public formal-proof files and strong market attention, is major news; independent acceptance remains developing.
SN28 SayGM completes its first buyback and burn: 9,523 alpha
SN28 SayGM reports its first buyback and burn, valued by the team at approximately $43,000. Its public ledger records 9,523 alpha destroyed against 73,193 alpha emitted to miners during August 17–September 15: 13.0% coverage for the first cycle, with a linked transaction. The target is to increase that share toward 100% over successive monthly cycles; full emission offset has not been achieved. Separately, the new gmcli 0.4.18 release addresses registration and chain-read compatibility issues.
The first documented revenue-funded burn is a concrete token-economics milestone, and the ledger makes the current 13% coverage measurable.
SN80 OpenRoboto adds Aerodrome trading and BaseStonk launch pairs
Following yesterday’s Base launch, ForeverMoney now reports SN80 OpenRoboto live on Aerodrome. BaseStonk also confirms SN80 as a launch and dividends pair, allowing projects on that platform to pair tokens with SN80. These are additional trading and distribution routes for the bridged asset, using the previously announced Chainlink CCIP connection. The robotics competition itself remains on Bittensor. Liquidity in the individual SN80 pool has not been independently measured.
New trading venues and an actual launch-pair integration extend the reach of the subnet token beyond the Base bridge announcement already covered.
SN8 Vanta launches a promotion path to $1M simulated Pro accounts
SN8 Vanta has launched its Classic → Earn → Grow → Pro structure. Selected traders on eligible $50,000 or $100,000 Classic accounts can progress toward up to $1 million in simulated capital without an additional promotion fee. The chosen reward split carries forward, and the Grow stage doubles rewards. Promotion is discretionary and Pro has additional performance and risk requirements. The official product page and merged Pro-account implementation support the launch. These are simulated trading accounts, not a promise of $1 million in cash funding or guaranteed earnings.
A substantial new commercial product and progression system is backed by both a public offer and implementation.
SN41 Almanac records a $24,771 buyback and burn
SN41 Almanac’s September 16 ledger row records $24,771 used to buy 22,284.5 alpha, with that same alpha amount subsequently burned. September buybacks now total $40,689.01 and cumulative recorded buybacks reach $116,901.31. The ledger also distinguishes the September 8 purchase, which remains held, from the newly burned September 16 purchase. One accounting caveat matters: the site says its revenue display currently mirrors buyback dollars because it does not yet have a separate fee feed. Those figures are project-reported records, not an independent revenue audit.
A new dated purchase and burn provides concrete evidence of token demand, with the public ledger clarifying both the amount and the accounting limitation.
SN19 Blockmachine burns its reserve and changes its revenue policy
SN19 Blockmachine says it has burned its entire Protocol Stability Reserve, valued in the announcement at 67.7 TAO, or about $15,612. It also reports a fifth monthly buyback of approximately $4,000; the public ledger records 1,801.09 alpha purchased and a current reserve balance of zero. The team says future customer revenue will no longer be retained in a strategic reserve and that it is working toward offsetting 100% of miner emissions through burns. That is a target, not a claim that full coverage is already reached. The ledger’s older reserve-policy wording has not yet caught up with the announcement.
Destroying the existing reserve and changing how customer revenue will be used materially alters the subnet’s token policy.
SN14 Cacheon reports 1,242.8 tokens per second on GLM-5.3
SN14 Cacheon reports a new full-model inference result of 1,242.8 tokens per second. Its announcement calls this roughly 12.5% above an earlier benchmark, while explicitly noting that the test conditions differ, so the percentage is not a controlled like-for-like speedup. The team also discloses that it submits optimizations under the same stated rules as other miners and uses earned emissions for development and operations. A new repository release restores qualification and payout logic and adds distributed output-projection bundles. Proposed commercial collaborations remain prospective.
A quantified model-performance result and material reward/evaluation release warrant prominent coverage, with the benchmark comparison kept qualified.
SN15 ORO’s network allocation returns as qualifying agents face a new gate
SN15 ORO has a 3.54% network emission allocation in the 10:56 AM ET snapshot, compared with zero in yesterday’s saved snapshot. That is a return of network allocation, not proof that miners are receiving rewards. Separately, the September 17 channel brief says all agents scoring 1.0 in qualifying fell into prohibited Tier A or Tier B categories, were discarded, and would face another gate; fixable Tier B entries could be resubmitted. Those operational details remain attributed to the digest. SN15 alpha is down 8.4% against TAO over 24 hours.
A large return of network allocation and a reported reset of top qualifying submissions affect holders and miners; allocation and actual miner payments must be distinguished.
SN78 UMI opens first-round translation intake; reward activation remains separate
SN78 UMI’s published operating documents now say public intake for its first open translation-competition round is live. Submissions must bind the announced policy and remain valid through the evaluation window. An accepted_no_weight receipt establishes admission only: the documents explicitly say competition rewards have not yet replaced the registration bridge. Separately, the September 17 channel brief reports that ordinary miner registration has reopened at a 0.75 TAO minimum and the temporary admission freeze has lifted. The competition opening is documented; the fee and bridge reopening are digest-attributed.
Reopening participation and publishing live competition intake are material changes after the earlier halt, with payment activation clearly separated.
SN78 UMI schedules exploratory Convo talks and details congressional outreach
SN78 UMI says it will meet Convo next week to explore distribution and technology links for bitsign, its sign-language translation product. The post explicitly says no partnership has been finalized. A separate update describes discussions with the Office of Michigan’s 6th Congressional District about accessibility, healthcare, affordability and routes to deployment. These are business-development and policy conversations, not a government contract, Medicare coverage decision or completed Convo integration.
Named prospective distribution and institutional contacts are useful commercial context, while their exploratory status prevents overstating adoption.
SN92 MicroTensor adds contamination audits and a 10% compute allocation
SN92 MicroTensor’s published mechanism now reserves 10% of miner emissions for verified compute-pool availability. New validation code folds that allocation into the reward vector alongside declared penalties. The project also documents post-settlement contamination audits: a system scoring at least 0.85 on public-source tasks but only chance on an unpublished control set can be removed. Version 0.4.9 redistributes penalized shares equally among non-penalized UIDs. These are verified code and policy changes; the channel’s claim that 15 systems were removed in round 1,241 was not independently checked.
A new compute share, explicit reward penalties and a concrete anti-contamination standard materially change participation and payouts.
SN1 Apex updates the Humanoid Olympics competition interface
SN1 Apex’s September 17 channel brief reports an optional event_type input so policies can identify the event they are handling, plus a fix to a hurdle observation. The input is described as backward compatible. The brief also records a question about whether the update is live in the current round, so this edition does not assert a confirmed round-wide deployment.
A specific competition-interface update is useful to participants, with its live-round status kept clear.
