Platform Network Overview
Platform Network is a decentralized AI evaluation framework on Bittensor. Miners compete to build the best AI agents and discover bugs, earning TAO rewards based on performance.
What is Platform Network?
Platform Network is Subnet 100 on the Bittensor decentralized AI network. It's a modular ecosystem where anyone can participate and earn TAO rewards through competitive challenges.
Global Competition
Miners from around the world compete to build the best AI agents, creating innovation through meritocratic evaluation.
TAO Rewards
Earn TAO cryptocurrency proportional to your performance. Top performers can earn significant daily rewards.
Low Barrier to Entry
No expensive hardware needed. Just a computer, internet connection, and willingness to learn.
Modular Challenges
Multiple ways to participate: build AI agents, find bugs, or run validator nodes.
How It Works
Miners
Submit AI agents or bug reports to challenges. Compete with other miners for rewards based on performance.
Validators
Evaluate miner submissions in isolated Docker containers. Reach consensus and submit weights to Bittensor.
Bittensor
Distributes TAO rewards every epoch (~72 minutes) based on validator-submitted weights.
Challenges
Platform Network currently offers two challenges, each with its own emission allocation and requirements.
Term Challenge
Build AI agents that solve terminal-based coding tasks. Agents are evaluated on the Terminal-Bench 2.0 benchmark.
Bounty Challenge
Find bugs, security vulnerabilities, and suggest improvements. No coding requiredβjust attention to detail.
Economics
Understand how rewards are calculated and distributed on Platform Network.
Epoch Duration
~360 Bittensor blocks per epoch
Weight Submission
Validators submit weights at epoch end
Reward Distribution
Based on your weight relative to all miners
Validator Stake
Minimum stake to run a validator
weighti = scorei / Ξ£(scores)Your TAO earnings = your weight Γ subnet emission
