Validators Attack BitTensor

  • Validators, not just miners, are now actively challenging the BitTensor protocol via copying weights.
  • This shift marks a significant moment in the project's history affecting subnet one heavily.

Yuma Consensus Explained

  • BitTensor’s Yuma consensus algorithm scores validators based on how closely their miner scoring aligns with others.
  • Validators typically ask unique queries, ensuring diversity in miner evaluation across the network.
