🌀 Introducing COR/ETH on Base (Uniswap) We've launched an initial COR pair on Uniswap (Base), with liquidity bridged from the original Ethereum issuance via the Native Base Bridge. 📌 Status: still testing - we're testing internally first before adding more liquidity so it's…

📢 NodeOps & Devs Update - Full Migration Phase Both Testnet-0 and Testnet-1 are running smoothly after the initial migration wave. We're now moving to complete the migration and begin early app testing. 🔹 Current (migrated so far) - Testnet-0: 48 active nodes - Testnet-1: 26…

🛠️ DevLog - NodePool/Data Refactor: E2E Validation & Next Refactoring Plan (DevNet6) We now have end-to-end functionality across refactored modules - not perfect, but the basic flow works. 🔹 Status - NodePoolData is fully integrated as the primary data source for NodePool. -…

📣 Hackathon #3 - Recap & Launch Window Following Hackathon #2, Hackathon #3 is now finalized and ready to kick off soon. Docs are now live - only a few final adjustments remain before launch. 🔹 Timeline - Hackathon #3 launches ~1 week after Testnet Phase #1 begins. - Follows…

Phase #6 Update – EarlyBird6 Role The EarlyBird6 role has now been assigned to all eligible node operators from Phase #6! This role is our way of recognizing your early support and contribution to Cortensor’s decentralized AI infrastructure. On Discord, roles also come with…

🛰️ RPC Redundancy & Load Balancing (Arb Sepolia + COR L3) We've expanded RPC resilience and begun testing across environments - this is part of our Testnet preparation. 🔹 Topology - 2 user-facing load balancers fronting 3 RPC endpoints (2 backup + 1 community). -…

🗓️ Weekly Recap – Phase #6 Rewards & Testnet Migration This week centered on completing Phase #6 reward distribution, migrating to Testnet-0/1, and kicking off groundwork for validation, payments, and SLA-driven node selection. 🔹 Phase #6 Rewards & Hackathon #2 - Wrapped Top…

🛠️ DevLog – NodePool ⇄ NodePoolData Integration (Scaffolding, DevNet6) NodePoolData is now integrated into NodePool as its dedicated data source - this marks the first working scaffold for modular SLA filtering. Nothing has been tested yet; this is purely a foundational setup…

📘 Testnet Phase #1 & Hackathon #3 Docs The latest documentation for Testnet Phase #1 and Hackathon #3 is now live and nearly finalized - only minor adjustments remain before launch. 🔹 Testnet Phase #1 begins within 2 weeks, focusing on system integration and regression across…

⚙️ Cortensor Sprint Cycle - From Testnet to Mainnet Cortensor's roadmap now follows a clear, repeatable rhythm - a continuous sprint cycle that carries from Testnet into Mainnet and future versioned releases. 🔹 Cycle Duration: Each phase runs ~6 weeks - structured for focused…

🧩 Node Migration Update (DevNet7 → Testnet-0/1) Following the initial warm-up migrations, ~50 nodes have now successfully moved from DevNet7 to Testnet-0 and Testnet-1 environments. Both dashboards are stable and showing healthy activity (see network heatmaps). 🔹 Current…

Phase #6 Rewards - Distribution Complete Prize distribution for Top 140 nodes from Phase #6 is now fully complete. All eligible node operators have received their rewards. Thank you to everyone for your patience and continued participation - your contributions have helped us…

🛠️ DevLog - NodePool ⇄ NodePoolData Refactor (Phase 1, Rough Pass) We finished a very rough first pass of Phase 1 (core dataset isolation). This was a logical refactor only - no tests yet. It clarifies module boundaries for future SLA filters, but it also surfaced gas…

🧩 Testnet Recap & Phase #1 Countdown A friendly reminder - Testnet Phase #1 is scheduled to begin within 2 weeks. We're finalizing DevNet Phase #6 and closing out Hackathon #2, after which the first Testnet phase officially starts. 🔹 Current Prep Work - Finalizing DevNet…

🛠️ DevLog - NodePool ⇄ NodePoolData Refactor (2 Phases, WIP) We've begun a two-phase refactor to enable session-scoped SLA filters cleanly during Testnet. Current NodePool coupling limits extensibility; this work lays the foundation for richer SLA features. 🔹 Phase 1: Core…

🛠️ DevLog - Soft Reset Complete & Migration Monitoring (Testnet Prep) All soft resets on Testnet-0 and Testnet-1 with the latest feature set are complete - both networks look stable and functional after verification. 🔹 Status: - Testnet-0 and Testnet-1 passed post-reset checks…

🧩 Node Migration Update - Testnet Prep (DevNet7 → Testnet-0/1) We're continuing testnet preparation and expanding migration tests across networks. This isn't the main migration yet - just part of the warm-up phase to validate Testnet stability. 🔹 Test Distribution Targets: -…

🏆 Hackathon #2 - Qualified Entries First, huge thanks to everyone who participated. Hackathon #2 continued pushing the ecosystem forward - validating decentralized inference, surfacing agentic apps, and strengthening developer tooling. Rewards & Distribution: - Rewards will be…

🛠️ DevLog - Soft Reset & Module Verification (Testnet Prep) Performed soft resets on Testnet-0 and Testnet-1 to verify the latest modules end-to-end. Initial checks look healthy; we'll expand testing with broader node coverage. 🔹 Status - Testnet-0: soft reset completed;…

🛠️ DevLog - Validator v2/v3 GPU Migration (Testnet Prep) Both Testnet-0 and Testnet-1 validators were previously CPU-only. We've now completed migration of Validator v2 (PoI) and Validator v3 (PoUW) to GPU instances across all environments - DevNet7, Testnet-0, and Testnet-1.…
