Effective 6 August 2026
No purchase is necessary. The League awards software licences, never money. Entering means accepting these rules and the Tensor Archive Terms, EULA and Privacy Notice.
The League is operated by ExcursionPass Inc., the Delaware corporation that operates Tensor Archive. It is open to natural persons who are at least 18 and the age of majority where they live, can lawfully receive US software, and are not employees, contractors or household members of the operator. It is void where prohibited.
No purchase, paid plan, vote, like, follow or public post is required. Each seven-day round shows its exact UTC start and end. Rankings may update continuously, but winners are finalized only after the cutoff and a live round never changes duration.
A participant authorizes a public Hugging Face identity and submits one fresh, locally measured entry from a new verified Tensor Archive installation. Signing in alone does not enrol a device. Each person, identity, installation and device key may represent only that participant.
The first accepted entry creates persistent enrolment. At every new weekly round, an eligible installation obtains a fresh challenge and submits newly measured metrics with a fresh signature and nonce when it is online. Retries are idempotent. Participants may revoke future entry at any time without removing existing results.
Every weekly round awards three distinct eligible collectors: the most verified physical bytes reclaimed, the best verified savings percentage on at least 10 GB of Tensor Archive-managed model data, and the most verified time connected to T2T during that round. Purchased Pro owners remain ranked but pass a software prize to the next eligible collector.
Network time accumulates only between consecutive, signed heartbeats for the verified identity, installation and current entry while the local T2T peer listener is actually operative. At most ten minutes is credited per interval. Replays, invalid signatures, out-of-order timestamps, offline time and merely leaving an unrelated process open add nothing.
Each prize is decided only by its stated metric. If two or more eligible collectors are tied exactly at the winning value, the operator performs a random draw only among those tied collectors and persists that result once. A finalized result is not redrawn after a retry or service restart.
The three winners in a round must be different people. A historical winner of any League prize remains honestly visible in the Hall of Fame but is excluded from every future entry and award. A licence cannot be transferred, sold or exchanged for cash.
Each winner receives one perpetual Tensor Archive Local Pro software licence for the version awarded, including one year of updates and up to three active installations under the EULA. Delivery is device-bound and does not create a Stripe order. The winner is responsible for any tax or reporting duty imposed by their jurisdiction.
Only a public Hugging Face username and picture plus aggregate verified storage, savings and round T2T seconds appear in rankings. Device identifiers, signatures and individual heartbeat records remain private. Model contents, names, paths, weights and individual file hashes are never published or collected for the League.
Round entries, winners and the public Hall of Fame are retained while needed to operate and audit the League and enforce the one-win rule. Short-lived challenges and proof nonces expire quickly; individual heartbeat bodies are not stored. Aggregate and security records follow the Tensor Archive Privacy Notice and applicable legal retention duties.
Tensor Archive may request a second scan and reject or disqualify fabricated, replayed, automated, manipulated, unlawfully obtained or cross-device evidence. Attempts to evade identity, installation, signature, referral or one-win controls may result in exclusion. Participants confirm they may lawfully possess the measured models.
To withdraw before a cutoff or dispute a result, email hello@tensorarchive.ai with the public Hugging Face username and round. Existing public history may be retained when needed for audit and abuse prevention. Delaware law governs; before filing a claim, the parties allow 30 days for good-faith resolution, subject to mandatory local rights.
