The Big Picture
Rank is the result of Yuma Consensus processing all validator weights. It represents how the network collectively values each neuron's contribution. Higher rank = better performance according to consensus = more emissions.
Why This Matters
Where does your miner stand compared to others? Rank tells you. It's the output of consensus - the network's collective judgment on how well each neuron is performing.
Example Scenario
Query Rank(netuid=1, uid=47) returns 0.0823 (as normalized u16, this would be ~5390). Your neuron holds ~8.23% of the rank distribution on this subnet. Compare to others to gauge position.
Common Questions
- What's a good rank?
- Relative to other neurons on the subnet. Sum of all ranks = 1.0 (normalized). If there are 256 neurons, average rank is ~0.0039. Above that is good.
- How is rank calculated?
- Yuma Consensus processes the weight matrix. Neurons receiving high weights from high-stake validators get higher rank.
Use Cases
- Check your neuron's ranking on a subnet
- Build leaderboards showing top-performing neurons
- Analyze rank distribution and competition
- Debug why certain neurons outperform others
Purpose & Usage
Purpose
Track neuron ranking from consensus.
Common Query Patterns
- Query by netuid-uid
- Rank all neurons on subnet
