Cacheon mainnet launches with evaluation issues

Cacheon (SN14) went live on mainnet on May 19 with continuous evaluation rounds every 10 minutes. The team identified and paused evaluations to fix multiple issues: spam submissions (miners resubmitting slightly different models), an exploit by one miner, and weight assignment bugs preventing emission distribution. Anti-spam fees and registration pauses are being implemented. UID 105 is current leader, UID 1 runner-up; both will receive full missed emissions by end of day.

• •Identified exploit and spam submissions; pausing evals to patch holes
• •Introducing per-submission fee to prevent evaluation spam
