Subnet framework

The Opentensor Foundation has a Subnet Framework . It is old - expect to need many updates:
namoray (creator of Subnet 19) has created Fiber

Subnet incentive mechanisms

mogmachine gave a talk on September 2024 on Incentive mechanism creation.

Here is @mogmachine's whole talk at the Google Toronto office

mog is the product visionary behind @taostats, the most critical product for the entire Bittensor community

In this talk, mog deep dives into Incentive Mechanism Design, which underlies everything happening in… pic.twitter.com/g96nFeQKob

Namoray gave spoke on the Bittensor Guru podcast on his vision of subnets in Episode 37 (Video below), episode 20 is also a good introduction to subnet creation.

Rhef (Subnet 12) has created his subnet guide

Subnet Identity

Your Subnet's name, Discord, GitHub Repo and website. Update these on the chain using btcli btcli s get-identity. you will be prompted to add all of the fields, and then the values stored on chain. Taostats will update on the next epoch with your new values.

Running a Validator

All Subnet owners have a neuron that cannot be deregistered. This is intended to be run as a validator:

Validators provide access to the subnet commodity. With a validator, SN owners now have access to their commodity.
Mining incentive to this hotkey is burned. SN owner cannot run a miner on this hotkey (and receive alpha).

Setting up a validator

Make sure your validator is setting weights
Work with other valis to ensure they are running teh subnet code, and your vali is in consensus.
