Consensus scores for neurons on a subnet .

Queried by: validatorsanalytics

The Big Picture

Consensus score measures how well a neuron's weights align with the network consensus. Validators with high consensus are in agreement with others. Low consensus suggests the validator is an outlier - either innovative or potentially malicious.

Why This Matters

Is this validator scoring like everyone else, or going against the grain? High consensus = mainstream views. Low consensus = outlier behavior (could be good or bad).

Example Scenario

Query Consensus(netuid=1, uid=5) returns 0.92. This validator is 92% aligned with network consensus - very mainstream. A score of 0.3 would indicate significant disagreement with other validators.

Common Questions

Is high consensus always good?: Usually, but not always. Very high consensus everywhere could mean validators are lazy/copying. Some healthy disagreement shows independent thinking.
How does this differ from trust?: Trust is about a neuron receiving consistent ratings. Consensus is about a validator giving ratings that align with others.

Use Cases

Measure validator's alignment with network consensus
Identify outlier validators with unusual scoring
Build consensus health monitoring tools
Research consensus mechanism dynamics
