Subnet Precompile

This precompile allows you to interact with Bittensor subnets through EVM smart contracts, affording functionality for registering networks, viewing and setting network parameters, and querying network state.

This page:

• described the precompile's available functions on the precompile
• demonstrates the precompile's usage with example scripts.

The subnet precompile is available at address 0x803 (2051 in decimal).

permissions

Subnet operations have distinct requirements!

• Creating a subnet, i.e. registerNetwork, requires a coldkey with sufficient TAO to cover the current burn cost.

  See burn cost for subnet creation.

• Setting subnet hyperparameters requires the private key for the coldkey that owns the subnet (the one that created it, unless this has been transferred).

Available Functions

The subnet precompile provides comprehensive functionality for subnet management and configuration. All functions are categorized below:

Network Registration

registerNetwork

Create/register a new subnet, without setting identity information.

Parameters:

• hotkey (bytes32): The hotkey (32 bytes) that will own the network

Returns:

• None (payable function)

Description: Registers a new subnet on the Bittensor network. The caller becomes the subnet owner and can manage subnet parameters.

registerNetworkWithIdentity

Registers a new subnet with detailed identity information.

Parameters:

• hotkey (bytes32): The hotkey that will own the network
• subnetName (string): Name of the subnet (max 256 chars)
