This repo contains all the necessary files and functions to define zktensor subnet incentive mechanisms. You can run this project in three ways,
on Bittensor's main-network (real TAO, to be released), Bittensor's test-network (fake TAO), or with your own staging-network. This repo includes instructions for doing all three.

Installation

This repository requires python3.8 or higher. To install, simply clone this repository and install the requirements.

Install Bittensor

$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opentensor/bittensor/master/scripts/install.sh)"

Install Dependencies

git clone https://github.com/zktensor/zktensor_subnet.git
cd zktensor_subnet
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Prerequisites

Install pm2

npm i -g pm2

Install make

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install make
cp Makefile.example Makefile

Miner

Miners contribute to the execution layer in the current version.
They receive public inputs of the specified model in the deployment layer, generate output and zk proof and return the result.
Right now, Only a single ZkSqrtRegressionModel is deployed in the deployment layer, miners will be asked to generate proof for the public inputs from the validators. This will not require that much computing power right now.

Hardware requirements

Minimum requirement:

  • RAM: 4GB
  • Network: 1GB
  • Storage: 50GB
  • VRAM: 4GB

Recommended requirement:

  • RAM: 16GB
  • Network: 1GB
  • Storage: 300GB
  • VRAM: 8GB

Running Miner

My personal preference to run is using Makefile.
Visit Makefile in root folder and edit it based on your settings


.PHONY: run-miner
run-miner:
	cd neurons && \
	pm2 start --name miner miner.py --interpreter python3 -- \
	--netuid {net_uid} \
	--axon.port 8091 \
	--subtensor.network finney \
	--wallet.name {your_miner_key_name} \
	--wallet.hotkey {your_miner_hotkey_name} \
	--subtensor.chain_endpoint wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443 \
	--logging.debug

And just run the following in terminal

make run-miner

Or you can just run this in terminal

	cd neurons && \
	pm2 start --name miner miner.py --interpreter python3 -- \
	--netuid {net_uid} \
	--axon.port 8091 \
	--subtensor.network finney \
	--wallet.name {your_miner_key_name} \
	--wallet.hotkey {your_miner_hotkey_name} \
	--subtensor.chain_endpoint wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443 \
	--logging.debug

Validator

Validators send public inputs of the specified model(which is deployed in deployment layer) to the miners, and verify the output and proof returned from the miners, update weights based on the verificaton results.

Hardware requirements

Minimum requirement:

  • RAM: 4GB
  • Network: 1GB
  • Storage: 50GB

Recommended requirement:

  • RAM: 16GB
  • Network: 1GB
  • Storage: 300GB

Running Validator

visit Makefile in root folder and edit based on your settings

cd neurons
# To run the validator
.PHONY: run-validator
run-validator:
	cd neurons && \
	pm2 start validator.py --name validator --interpreter python3 -- \
	--netuid {net_uid} \
	--subtensor.network finney \
	--wallet.name {validater_key_name} \
	--wallet.hotkey {validator_hot_key_name} \
	--subtensor.chain_endpoint wss://entrypont-finney.opentensor.ai:443 \
	--logging.debug

And just run the following in the terminal

make run-validator

You can make your own custom Makefile command and uset it based on your activity
