# Challenges on BASE

> Challenges are where miners compete. BASE validators run subnet infrastructure; each challenge owns its miner path.

BASE is a multi-challenge Bittensor subnet (netuid 100). **Validators run BASE** (master, weights, join, wallet as validator). **Miners compete inside challenges**. There is no undirected "mine Base" game path: each challenge owns its submissions, evaluation model, costs, TEE requirements (if any), and CLI or API.

Every challenge exposes the same minimal weight contract to the subnet:

```text theme={"dark"}
GET /health
GET /version
GET /internal/v1/get_weights
```

The internal weight endpoint is authenticated with a per-challenge shared token mounted by the master. Public traffic reaches a challenge through `/challenges/{slug}/...`.
