Soma Shifts Evaluation Costs to Miners
Share
Starting the next competition round, Soma moves evaluation costs from validators to miners to prevent spam submissions and ensure only differentiated solutions compete. The change incentivizes miners to invest in quality work rather than volume. Team is finalizing the evaluation model (considering qwen3-coder or gpt-4o-mini) and will share implementation details soon.
- •Evaluation costs now borne by miners, not validators
- •Prevents spam and copy-paste submissions across slots
