Blindproof
Bittensor testnet · netuid 575 · Phase T · 5 October 2026
Paid for the right bytes. Zero for the wrong ones.
Subnet 575 ran its first graded cycle on Bittensor’s public testnet. Two honest miners were credited on every job they ran. A lazy miner was never credited. The validator wrote its weights on chain.
Measured with mock inference and mock proofs — see scope of this record.
Who got credited
Each square is one job a miner was assigned. Filled means the validator verified the answer and credited it. Crossed means it was rejected and earned nothing.
Deterministic tier two miners per job, hashes must match; a third breaks ties
Proven tier one miner per job, paid only if its proof checks
| Deterministic tier | Proven tier | |
|---|---|---|
| Jobs settled | 12 / 12 | 12 / 12 |
| Wrong settlements | 0 | 0 |
| Median time to settle | 5.9 s | 31.6 s |
| Verification gate | Hash equality across two independent miners | Proof check on a single miner’s output |
On the chain
Every step that touched the chain, in order. Extrinsic IDs read block-index; each block link opens the public testnet explorer.

Scope of this record
A record is only as useful as its boundaries. This record is narrow on purpose.
What this record shows
- The payment gate works on a public chain. Honest answers were credited; a miner returning cheap guesses earned nothing in either tier.
- Both verification paths settle. Two-miner hash agreement and single-miner proof checks each settled 12 of 12 jobs.
- Weights follow verification. The validator’s on-chain weights went only to miners whose work checked out.
What this record does not show
- Real model inference. Miners called a mock inference server paced at a measured 32.8 tokens/s.
- Real cryptographic proofs. Proven-tier proofs were mock objects with deliberate forgery cases.
- Privacy. No masked execution runs on the testnet yet.
- Independent operators. The validator and all three miners are run by the Blindproof team.
- Earned incentive. Emissions were started after this run; the first non-zero incentive is pending.
- Fees, escrow, or recurring operation. One graded cycle; no customer fees; nothing on mainnet. Test TAO has no value.
