Base Subnet

Arctura is a decentralized AI subnet built on Bittensor, incentivizing miners and validators through on-chain emissions. The base subnet defines the foundational incentive mechanism for the network.

Incentive Mechanism

The base subnet defines the rules by which miners produce work and validators score that work — distributing TAO emissions as rewards.

01

Miners Produce

Miners receive challenges from validators and produce AI-graded outputs. Work is measured, ranked, and weighted continuously across the metagraph.

02

Validators Score

Validators query miners with deterministic challenges, evaluate outputs against the incentive mechanism, and set weights on-chain via Yuma consensus.

03

Emissions Flow

TAO emissions are distributed to miners based on performance rank and to validators based on stake. Alpha tokens are minted per subnet-specific mechanics.

Deploy & Participate

Clone the base subnet repo, install dependencies via the Makefile, configure your wallet, and register on Bittensor. The scaffold handles the rest.

Two Ways to Earn

Register on the subnet as a miner, validator, or both. Each role plays a critical part in securing and advancing the network.

// Miners

Produce Work

Miners run the compute that powers the subnet's intelligence layer. They respond to validator challenges and compete for emissions based on output quality.

  • Register a hotkey and stake TAO to join
  • Serve an axon endpoint for validator queries
  • Implement the forward() function with your model
  • Earn TAO proportional to your performance rank
  • Get scored each epoch; weights update on-chain
// Validators

Score & Secure

Validators are the quality gatekeepers of the subnet. They issue challenges, evaluate miner responses, and commit weights that drive fair emission distribution.

  • Stake TAO as a validator bond to gain influence
  • Query miners with deterministic challenges
  • Score outputs using the incentive mechanism
  • Set weights on the metagraph each tempo
  • Earn dividends on stake from subnet emissions
