Subnet Creator's Guide to BTCLI
Subnet creators define and manage new subnets, specifying parameters like burn cost, hyperparameters, or other chain-level configurations. This role inherently requires a coldkey with sufficient balance/permissions to create or update subnets.
This page discusses btcli stuff specifically for Subnet Creators. For general coverage of BTCLI and permissions stuff, see: Bittensor CLI: Permissions Guide
See also: Coldkey and Hotkey Workstation Security.
Subnet Creator Requirements
To create a new subnet, you need a coldkey with sufficient TAO to pay the burn cost for creating a subnet
To modify a subnet, you need the coldkey associated with ownership of the subnet
btcli commands for subnet creators
monitor subnet
Permissionless, use btcli subnet show or btcli view dashboard.
create subnet
Requires coldkey with sufficient TAO.
btcli subnet create
configure subnet
Configure your subnet's hyperparameters with btcli sudo set. Requires the coldkey the created the subnet.
Key rotation
If you suspect your coldkey may have been leaked, you can request to swap it out of your wallet, using an extrinsic blockchain transaction. This operation has a 5 day waiting period, during which your coldkey will be locked. The cost of this coldkey swap transaction is 0.1 TAO.
