🛠️ DevLog – SessionPayment Integration & Network Treasury Logic We're working on two major upgrades to make Cortensor's payout system more efficient and sustainable. Right now, SessionPayment works through a loosely connected setup - Oracle and Session events trigger payouts. We're exploring a direct, contract-level integration between Session and SessionPayment for faster, cleaner, and more reliable transactions. 🔹 At the same time, we’re adding a payout split: - X% goes to node operators. - Y% goes to the network treasury wallet - funds here can later be burned or used for other network purposes. 🔹 Focus areas: - Tighter Session ↔ SessionPayment contract integration which including Session module refactoring. - Built-in node vs. network treasury payout split. These changes are the first step toward a streamlined payout flow and a long-term, sustainable revenue model for the network. #Cortensor #AI #DePIN #DevLog #Payment

🛠️ DevLog: NodePool Stress Test & Planning NodeVersion Module This week's stress tests focused on one of the most important pipelines in Cortensor: the User Task Flow end-to-end (E2E) - covering everything from task submission, node selection, execution, to final response. 🔹 Test Setup We lowered the minimal score threshold in NodePool to pull all node types - including ephemeral - into rotation. A single Router Node simulated heavy traffic across multiple sessions with varied redundancy, pushing the system under real-world load conditions. 🔹 Results • User Task Flow E2E held up well - task queuing, assignment, and response logic worked as expected. • NodePool dynamically allocated/released nodes in real time. • Ephemeral nodes performed reliably under pressure. • Session pipeline (ack → precommit → commit) remained responsive. 🔹 Why It Matters This validates the core flow for user-requested inference sessions - a critical milestone as we move toward supporting public apps and external usage. 🔹 Key Insight We identified that many bugs surfaced from outdated node versions. A significant number of operators were running older builds due to tooling behavior. 🔹 Next Steps We're now drafting a NodeVersion module to enforce and track binary versions across the network - ensuring alignment and preventing drift that could affect reliability. 📌 It's a major step forward to see Router Node, NodePool, Ephemeral Nodes, and the entire User Task pipeline scale together reliably. 📊 Dashboard: dashboard-devnet5.cortensor.… #Cortensor #AI #DePIN #DevLog #Scaling

🛠️ DevLog – Miner TX Queue Oracle V3 Fix Incoming We've added TX queue support for Miner Nodes in user task mode to handle high-throughput inference without nonce conflicts. - Enabled via .env: ENABLE_TX_QUEUE_MODE=1 - Now under test to ensure miner-side stability during session task loads 🔍 During stress tests (thanks @Will429910), we found Oracle V3 session timer was failing under heavy load due to similar concurrency issues. Next: Add TX queue logic to Oracle V3 session timer - bringing parity with Router and Miner nodes under pressure. #Cortensor #DevLog #TXQueue #UserTask #MinerNode #OracleV3 #AIInfra #DePIN

🛠️ DevLog – Upcoming: TX Queue for Miner Nodes Following our recent concurrency fixes, we’re preparing to add a TX queue mode to Miner Nodes as well. 🔹 Why While inference requests are now processed through an internal queue, blockchain transactions (e.g., commits, proofs) can still conflict - especially when triggered in parallel across threads. 🔹 What’s Next We'll introduce a transaction queue similar to the Router Node's implementation to serialize on-chain calls made by miners. This will ensure smoother coordination between: - Inference execution (queued, multi-threaded) - Blockchain events (commit, precommit, etc.) This should reduce TX collisions and edge-case failures under heavy user task load. #Cortensor #DevLog #Concurrency #MinerNode #TXQueue #DePIN #AIInfra

🛠️ DevLog: Node Pool ↔ Miner V4 Flow Updates Over the past 24h, we’ve resolved several key issues between the Node Pool and Miner V4, including improved event handling and better edge case coverage. ✅ Latest Miner V4 Binary Now Live 🔗 github.com/cortensor/install… We’re now running full end-to-end tests across the flow: 1. Cognitive Module (Network Task) selects and tests nodes 2. Node Pool evaluates and selects high-score nodes 3. Ephemeral node pool is populated 4. Nodes are assigned to user sessions or tasks 5. Upon task completion, nodes are released 6. Cognitive Module re-tests and re-evaluates nodes for the next cycle This cycle ensures reliable, score-based node selection and proper session/task routing as we scale toward Phase #4. Let’s scale decentralized AI — one node at a time. #Cortensor #DevNet5 #MinerV4 #DePIN #DecentralizedAI #NodePool #DevLog

🧪 Dev Preview: Session UI Web3 Task Flow (Early Demo) Here’s a first look at Cortensor’s Session UI interacting with the Session & Session Queue Modules — showing how user tasks flow through our decentralized AI pipeline. 🎥 What’s in the Demo (~3:30 min): 🔹 Wallet Connect → View & Manage Sessions 🔹 Create Session with a prepared Ephemeral Node 🔹 Submit task via Web3 SDK 🔹 Miner picks up & processes the task 🔹 Result returned and visualized in real time 🔹 Update Session: Add dedicated nodes on the fly 🔹 Task flow and status tracking through the UI 💡 Still early — but this is the first step in wiring real smart contracts into the UI. Next up: REST API integration via Router for Web2-style flows. Let’s make decentralized AI interactive, seamless, and powerful. #Cortensor #DevPreview #Web3 #SessionModule #DePIN #AI #TaskFlow
