how the crown works
Miners publish a codec as a salted on-chain commitment, then reveal repo|rev. The artifact that wins is the exact artifact anyone can reproduce.
Validators stream fresh, unseen text through each revealed codec. A single unfaithful round-trip byte disqualifies the run before ratio is even scored.
The best qualifying ratio is crowned champion and receives the full miner emission. There is no partial credit — beat the champion or earn nothing.
When no challenger beats the bar, emission is directed to UID 0 — the subnet owner's address, acting as the burn sink — instead of being paid out — idle windows don't pay.
