Subnets

Hypertensor subnets are fully decentralized compute sidelayers that run in parallel to the Hypertensor blockchains' consensus mechanism.

A way to understand the architecture is to compare it to the Ethereum ecosystem. Each subnet is a layer 2 blockchain that consists of a mesh of nodes validating transactions and relaying them to Ethereum to settle.

In Hypertensor, each subnet is a mesh of nodes performing tasks related to artificial intelligence, which score and validate each other within the network.

Those scores are relayed to the Hypertensor blockchain by the randomly elected subnet validator (see Incentive Mechanism). Each other validator in the subnet can confirm the accuracy of the elected validator's consensus data by voting and reaching a consensus, thereby ensuring the security and integrity of the subnet.
