Subnet

Subnets are distributed intelligence and customizable AI applications as sidelayers on the Hypertensor network that utilize the security of the Hypertensor blockchain.

Each subnet undergoes 2 phases to become activated:

Registration Phase

Once a subnet is registered, it begins its registration period that lasts for 1 week. Within the time, users can delegate stake to the subnet, and can activate subnet nodes under the subnet based on the initial coldkeys.

Enactment & Activation Phase

The enactment phase follows the registration phase and lasts for 3 days. By this time, the subnet must have the minimum required nodes activated. During this time, users can continue to delegate stake to the subnet.

In this phase, the subnet owner can activate the subnet to begin consensus and generate emissions. To activate, the subnet must have the minimum required nodes and the minimum required subnet delegate stake balance.
