Design Against Weight Copyers

Each subnet should utilize the following features to remove the possibility of weight copying:

• Commit-reveal

  • A commit-reveal ensures no nodes are copying other nodes, and proves they did the work.

• Randomized score multipliers

  • Have a random seed stored in the DHT per epoch that will differ the scores epoch to epoch.

    • This should be done at the start of the epoch by the elected validator node by a specific point in the epoch, with the ability for anyone to fulfill the obligation if not fulfilled by the elected validator.

• Require 100% accuracy to attest

  • All nodes require 100% accuracy to attest when comparing to the elected validators' consensus data. This eliminates ambiguity between each node, necessitating a deterministic scoring mechanism.

• Deterministic Task Verification

  • Each node's tasks, work, or produced commodities should be deterministically qualified and quantified.

    • This is likely to be designed with the use of a commit-reveal scheme and non-identical task outputs.
