Into:RedTeam
Hackers competing to secure the internet.

A where the output is shipped as production bot-defense code for real internet companies, and a slice of the resulting client revenue gets recycled into weekly TAO buybacks. Innerworks runs the subnet, and the work is in active production.
What is RedTeam
RedTeam is a cybersecurity subnet run by Innerworks. Miners write code that solves concrete security challenges, the best submissions are deployed in real defensive products, and the team publishes weekly client buybacks of TAO funded by those products. The current focus is bot detection, device fingerprinting, and VPN detection.
The simple version: Imagine a continuous open competition for "build the best bot detector," where the winning solutions get plugged straight into the security stack of large web platforms. Whoever ships the most original useful code earns.
Centralized equivalent: Comparable to Cloudflare's bot management, DataDome, PerimeterX, or HUMAN Security, but the detection logic is written by an open miner pool against scored challenges rather than a single in-house team.
How it works:
- Miners submit code solutions to specific security challenges (currently including the FlowRadar VPN Detection challenge and a device-fingerprinting challenge). Submissions are checked against past entries for originality, scored daily, and the score decays over roughly 14 days so miners have to keep improving.
- Validators run the submissions against the challenge harness, score quality and uniqueness, and direct weights with a 50/50 split: half to challenge scores, half to alpha burn to manage subnet inflation.
