Check subnet repos before miners run them.
SNCheck helps miners inspect Bittensor subnet repositories for wallet risk, unsafe install scripts, suspicious execution patterns, and upcoming repo trust signals.
Subnet repos move fast. Miners need a safer first check.
Bittensor miners often clone and run subnet repositories directly. Some repos may be unaudited, outdated, misconfigured, or unsafe to run on machines with wallet material. SNCheck gives miners an evidence-first review layer before execution.
Start with the CLI.
The CLI is the first real product — run it locally against any subnet repo or GitHub URL.
- ✓Scans local repos and GitHub URLs
- ✓Detects Bittensor wallet-path risk
- ✓Flags dangerous install patterns
- ✓Reports file, line, severity, and evidence
- ✓Supports JSON output for automation

Bittensor-aware checks.
SNCheck reserves high severity for code that actually does something dangerous with wallet material — plain references are treated as low-risk context.
Wallet risk
Detects wallet path, hotkey, coldkey, and mnemonic references — and flags code that reads or exfiltrates key material.
Install risk
Flags curl-to-shell, wget-to-shell, base64 execution, and risky setup scripts.
Python execution risk
Detects eval, exec, os.system, subprocess shell usage, and unsafe pickle loads.
Repo trust
Future verification for official subnet repositories and monitored commits.
From CLI to trust platform.
The CLI is step one. Over time, SNCheck grows into a public trust layer for subnet repositories.
