v431 Upgrade Release

High7.5

◆ Description

Bittensor releases v431 with new SDK security primitives, Rust-based tooling, and full release of Conviction for stake-lock subnet ownership.

◆ Why it matters

The v431 upgrade activates Conviction, the stake-lock mechanism governing subnet ownership, turning a previously scoped economic primitive into live infrastructure for Bittensor's subnet market. SDK security primitives and Rust tooling improve the developer surface but are operational rather than thesis-shifting. For traders, the concrete shift is the durability of subnet ownership economics now that Conviction is fully released.
