These are each miner's normalized incentive from the chain's Incentive vector — the only race score Bittensor stores. It is a share of the validators' consensus weight: all rows sum to 1, so uid #56's 0.802 on Minos means it holds 80.2% of the validated weight — and since emission follows incentive exactly, it also takes ~80% of the miner-side payout. There is no absolute score (an “87/100”) on chain; numbers like that live in each subnet's own off-chain platform. Uids absent from the list received zero validated weight this epoch.

Absolute submission scores (an “87/100”) are computed by validators off chain and never published — subtensor no longer even stores a pre-normalization Scores vector, so the incentive shares above are the only race score that exists on chain.

What scores mean

and what they can't

Incentive is the score the validator network converged on for each uid this epoch — it's what pays: emission follows it. It is normalized on chain to sum to 1, so it reads as a share of validated weight. Hidden per-validator test sets (e.g. a private eval split) are computed off chain and never published — the chain no longer even stores a pre-normalization Scores vector — so taonets shows exactly what the chain shows, no reconstruction.

Watching https://github.com/macrocosm-os/apex — head bccf1b0 committed 2d ago.

Release v4.4.6 (#966)

The head commit is the atomic “did the race move” probe: any push to the default branch — new tasks, benchmark changes, scoring edits — lands here within minutes of the next watch pass.

No repo changes detected since taonets started watching this race (head committed 2d ago).

The chain does not store past Incentive vectors — history begins when taonets started watching, and every epoch since is archived from live reads only.

Best-case frame: every key wins every epoch. Your real edge depends on the model you bring — check the scoreboard and winner history above, and the repo watch before committing.

Scoring rules live in the project's own docs — read the repo . Taonets reports the chain's validated scores and repo history; it does not paraphrase scoring rules it hasn't parsed. Watch the repo watch above before committing a key.
