Oro Validator Shifts to Top-50 Emission Distribution

Oro updated its validator to distribute miner emissions across the top 50% of race finishers instead of winner-takes-all, preventing well-performing miners from being deregistered due to zero emission during immunity periods. The change is live on-chain. Separately, the team acknowledged ongoing inference platform instability but ruled out mid-race re-evaluations, stating fixes are in testing and will ship this week.

• •Top 25% miner gets fixed share; ranks 2–K (floor N/2) split ~0.12–1.38% tail
• •Bottom 50% finishers receive zero weight; linear taper prevents gaming
• •Inference degradation (1 healthy, 2 busy, 10 degraded) not deemed external attack
• •No mid-race agent re-evaluation unless scoring hits zero due platform failure
