Miner compensation tied to real economic output.
The subnet charges a 10% fee on LP fees generated by managed vaults. The remaining 90% goes to vault owners.
Bittensor dedicates 41% of alpha emissions to subnet miners. SN98 implements a dynamic miner burn mechanism to ensure miner rewards remain aligned with the real economic output of the subnet.
This incentive alignment ensures miners have direct economic exposure to subnet performance — their compensation is explicitly tied to on-chain revenue.
Emissions are dynamically adjusted based on subnet revenue and the USD price of the alpha token to keep miner rewards tightly aligned with real economic output.
SN98 uses a Winner-Takes-All (WTA) compensation model. Miners deploy miner vaults to prove their strategy. Validators evaluate performance and select the best miners. Selected miners' strategies are then applied to protocol vaults. Miners earn alpha proportional to the fees generated by protocol vaults — not their own miner vaults.
In practice, a miner's job consists of:
Jobs generate revenue. An xTAO vault generates revenue in xTAO and USDC, while a BID vault generates revenue in BID / wBID.
<aside> 📊 Miner compensation is tied to protocol vault revenue — miners prove themselves in miner vaults, but earn from protocol vaults only when selected by validators.
