Swarm redesigns emissions with king-of-hill mechanic
Share
Swarm is overhauling its miner incentive structure to combat fine-tuning abuse and reward legitimate work. A proposed "king of the hill" model will cap top-5 historical performers and scale emissions based on proportional improvement (e.g., 0.20→0.25 gains more than 0.80→0.85). The subnet is also preparing to reduce burn and improve output quality as protocol rewards for low-effort subnets decline.
- •King-of-hill emissions: top 5 historical miners share rewards
- •Proportional scaling: marginal improvements weighted more than incremental gains
- •Burn reduction planned to improve speed and output quality
- •Targeted at eliminating miner fine-tuning and spurious emission capture
