Subnet 119: Satori
Satori is Bittensor Subnet 119. The live Finney identity lists its subnet name as Satori, its GitHub repository as Satori119/Satori, and its description as a project that constructs a persistent “Second Life” in Japan by combining AI companionship with digital residency and physical experiences.
At the time of review, the GitHub repository named in the on-chain identity was not publicly available, and the identity did not publish a subnet URL. This article therefore limits its claims to live identity data and avoids implementation-specific statements that are not source-backed.
What Satori Provides
Satori presents itself as a digital-residency and AI-companionship subnet. Its on-chain description frames the subnet around persistent virtual identity, emotionally oriented AI interaction, and a bridge from virtual relationships to real-world experiences in Japan.
Because the public code or README source could not be inspected, the current public source set supports an identity-level overview rather than a technical description of a validated scoring mechanism or product interface.
Miner and Validator Roles
The available public identity does not describe subnet-specific miner tasks, validator prompts, or scoring rules. In Bittensor terms, miners generally perform the work requested by a subnet’s incentive mechanism, while validators evaluate miner outputs and submit weights that flow through Yuma Consensus.
For Satori, those implementation details should be confirmed from a public repository or operator documentation before adding more specific claims. The general relationship between miners, validators, and subnet incentives is covered in Mining and validating.
On-Chain Identity
Readers can reproduce the live identity fields with the Bittensor CLI command documented in the
btcli reference:
btcli subnets get-identity --netuid 119 --network finney.
That Finney identity reports the subnet name as Satori, the GitHub repo as Satori119/Satori, no subnet URL, and a description centered on AI companionship, digital residency, and physical experiences in Japan.
Relationship to Yuma Consensus
Subnet 119 is registered on Bittensor and uses Yuma Consensus to convert validator weight vectors into the emission shares distributed to miners and validators within the subnet each tempo. The Yuma Consensus documentation describes how validator weight submissions are aggregated into consensus weights for each miner registered on the subnet.
The GitHub repository listed in Satori’s on-chain identity was not publicly accessible at the time this article was updated, and no public source describes how validators score miners on Subnet 119. The Emission documentation describes how consensus weights determine each participant’s share of the subnet’s accumulated emission each tempo.
Development Stage Context
The Introduction to Bittensor describes subnet development as moving from localnet to testnet and then mainnet. For Satori (SN119), that sequence applies to the standard Bittensor lifecycle: localnet for isolated development, testnet for shared non-production testing, and mainnet for live operation with real emissions.
On mainnet, Satori (SN119) is registered as the live production subnet at netuid 119. The Bittensor Networks reference separates mainnet, testnet, and localnet. Participation examples or emission outcomes from one environment should not be read as representing production subnet performance in another environment.
Netuid 119 Identifies the Subnet On-Chain
Bittensor assigns every subnet a unique numeric identifier called a netuid, and Subnet 119 is the subnet registered at netuid 119 (Glossary: Netuid). The Understanding Subnets reference explains that each subnet runs its own incentive mechanism while sharing the same underlying Subtensor chain, so the netuid is the stable handle that distinguishes Satori from every other subnet.
For a reader, this means “Subnet 119” and “netuid 119” refer to the same on-chain slot. A claim about Satori should be tied to that netuid rather than to the registered name alone, because the name field can be changed on-chain while the netuid stays fixed.
Reader Boundary
Subnet 119 Satori should not be read as generic Bittensor subnet documentation, a real-world residency or immigration service, or a guarantee about any AI companion’s behavior. It names one subnet presented on-chain as a Japan-focused digital residency and AI companionship project on netuid 119 (Understanding Subnets, Glossary: Netuid).
