Cathedral Addresses Mass Submission Abuse, New Mechanism Coming
Share
A single coldkey controlling 14 hotkeys was observed mass-submitting identical, pre-generated responses without LLM invocation, creating artificial load and degrading other validators' queue processing. The team confirmed the vulnerable pathway is deprecated and stated a new mechanism launching soon will eliminate this attack surface.
- •One actor controlled 14 hotkeys, submitted static responses repeatedly in minutes
- •Identical outputs across hotkeys created artificial load, skewed validator queue
- •Other participants experienced degraded submission processing frequency and stability
- •Team confirmed vulnerable pathway deprecated; new release eliminates attack surface
