class bittensor.commands.network.RegisterSubnetworkCommand

Executes the register_subnetwork command to register a new subnetwork on the Bittensor network.

This command facilitates the creation and registration of a subnetwork, which involves interaction with the user’s wallet and the Bittensor subtensor. It ensures that the user has the necessary credentials and configurations to successfully register a new subnetwork.

Usage:

Upon invocation, the command performs several key steps to register a subnetwork:

1. It copies the user’s current configuration settings.

2. It accesses the user’s wallet using the provided configuration.

3. It initializes the Bittensor subtensor object with the user’s configuration.

4. It then calls the register_subnetwork function of the subtensor object, passing the user’s wallet and a prompt setting based on the user’s configuration.

If the user’s configuration does not specify a wallet name and no_prompt is not set, the command will prompt the user to enter a wallet name. This name is then used in the registration process.

The command structure includes:

• Copying the user’s configuration.

• Accessing and preparing the user’s wallet.

• Initializing the Bittensor subtensor.

• Registering the subnetwork with the necessary credentials.

Example usage:

btcli subnets create

Note

This command is intended for advanced users of the Bittensor network who wish to contribute by adding new subnetworks. It requires a clear understanding of the network’s functioning and the roles of subnetworks. Users should ensure that they have secured their wallet and are aware of the implications of adding a new subnetwork to the Bittensor ecosystem.

View hyperparameters of a subnetwork.

Parameters:

• cli (bittensor.cli) –

• subtensor (bittensor.subtensor) –

static add_args(parser)

Parameters:

parser (argparse.ArgumentParser) –

static check_config(config)

Parameters:

class bittensor.commands.network.SubnetListCommand

Executes the list command to list all subnets and their detailed information on the Bittensor network.

This command is designed to provide users with comprehensive information about each subnet within the network, including its unique identifier (netuid), the number of neurons, maximum neuron capacity, emission rate, tempo, recycle register cost (burn), proof of work (PoW) difficulty, and the name or SS58 address of the subnet owner.

Usage:

Upon invocation, the command performs the following actions:

1. It initializes the Bittensor subtensor object with the user’s configuration.

2. It retrieves a list of all subnets in the network along with their detailed information.

3. The command compiles this data into a table format, displaying key information about each subnet.

In addition to the basic subnet details, the command also fetches delegate information to provide the name of the subnet owner where available. If the owner’s name is not available, the owner’s SS58 address is displayed.

The command structure includes:

• Initializing the Bittensor subtensor and retrieving subnet information.

• Calculating the total number of neurons across all subnets.

• Constructing a table that includes columns for NETUID, N (current neurons), MAX_N (maximum neurons), EMISSION, TEMPO, BURN, POW (proof of work difficulty), and SUDO (owner’s name or SS58 address).

• Displaying the table with a footer that summarizes the total number of subnets and neurons.

Example usage:

btcli subnets list

Note

This command is particularly useful for users seeking an overview of the Bittensor network’s structure and the distribution of its resources and ownership information for each subnet.

static _run(cli, subtensor)

List all subnet netuids in the network.

Parameters:

• cli (bittensor.cli) –

• subtensor (bittensor.subtensor) –

static add_args(parser)

Parameters:

parser (argparse.ArgumentParser) –

static check_config(config)

Parameters:

config (bittensor.config) –

static run(cli)

List all subnet netuids in the network.

Parameters:

cli (bittensor.cli) –

class bittensor.commands.network.SubnetLockCostCommand

Executes the lock_cost command to view the locking cost required for creating a new subnetwork on the Bittensor network.

This command is designed to provide users with the current cost of registering a new subnetwork, which is a critical piece of information for anyone considering expanding the network’s infrastructure.

The current implementation anneals the cost of creating a subnet over a period of two days. If the cost is unappealing currently, check back in a day or two to see if it has reached an amenble level.

Usage:

Upon invocation, the command performs the following operations:

1. It copies the user’s current Bittensor configuration.

2. It initializes the Bittensor subtensor object with this configuration.

3. It then retrieves the subnet lock cost using the get_subnet_burn_cost() method from the subtensor object.

4. The cost is displayed to the user in a readable format, indicating the amount of Tao required to lock for registering a new subnetwork.

In case of any errors during the process (e.g., network issues, configuration problems), the command will catch these exceptions and inform the user that it failed to retrieve the lock cost, along with the specific error encountered.

The command structure includes:

• Copying and using the user’s configuration for Bittensor.

• Retrieving the current subnet lock cost from the Bittensor network.

• Displaying the cost in a user-friendly manner.

Example usage:

btcli subnets lock_cost

Note

This command is particularly useful for users who are planning to contribute to the Bittensor network by adding new subnetworks. Understanding the lock cost is essential for these users to make informed decisions about their potential contributions and investments in the network.

class bittensor.commands.network.SubnetSudoCommand

Executes the set command to set hyperparameters for a specific subnet on the Bittensor network.

This command allows subnet owners to modify various hyperparameters of theirs subnet, such as its tempo, emission rates, and other network-specific settings.

Usage:

The command first prompts the user to enter the hyperparameter they wish to change and its new value. It then uses the user’s wallet and configuration settings to authenticate and send the hyperparameter update to the specified subnet.

Example usage:

btcli sudo set --netuid 1 --param 'tempo' --value '0.5'

Note

This command requires the user to specify the subnet identifier (netuid) and both the hyperparameter and its new value. It is intended for advanced users who are familiar with the network’s functioning and the impact of changing these parameters.
