Understanding Hetu Subnets
Overview
Hetu subnets are specialized, autonomous communities within the Hetu network, each focused on producing specific types of digital commodities. Each subnet operates as an independent economy with its own rules, participants, and reward mechanisms.
What is a Subnet?
A subnet is:
Autonomous Community: Self-governing ecosystem with specialized focus
Economic Unit: Independent economy with custom incentive mechanisms
Innovation Platform: Space for experimenting with new digital commodity markets
Value Generator: Produces specific digital commodities for the broader network
Subnet Components
Miners: Produce the subnet's target digital commodities
Validators: Evaluate and rank miner outputs for quality
Incentive Mechanism: Rules governing reward distribution
Governance Structure: Decision-making processes for subnet evolution
Creating Your Own Subnet
Prerequisites
Clear vision for a specific digital commodity or service
Understanding of target market demand and competition
Technical capability to implement subnet protocols
Community of potential participants (miners and validators)
Basic Steps
Concept Development: Define your subnet's purpose, target commodity, and value proposition
Technical Design: Specify how miners will work and validators will evaluate outputs
Economic Modeling: Design sustainable token economics and incentive structures
Implementation: Develop smart contracts and necessary software components
Registration: Register your subnet with the Hetu network
Launch: Begin operations with initial community of participants
Success Factors
Clear Value Proposition: Solve a real problem or meet genuine market demand
Fair Incentives: Ensure all participants benefit from subnet success
Technical Reliability: Build robust, secure, and scalable systems
Active Community: Foster engaged participation and governance
Types of Subnets
Compute Subnets: AI inference, model training, scientific computing
Data Subnets: Storage networks, content delivery, data processing
Specialized Subnets: Domain-specific services like financial prediction or research
Mining
Miners produce valuable digital commodities and computational resources for the Hetu network. They are the backbone of the ecosystem, generating the actual value that drives the network's economy.
Types of Mining
Compute Mining: AI inference, model training, general computing
Storage Mining: Data storage, content delivery, backup services
Specialized Mining: Protein folding, financial prediction, custom services
How to Become a Miner
Prerequisites
Suitable hardware (GPU, CPU, or storage depending on subnet type)
Stable internet connection with adequate bandwidth
Understanding of your chosen subnet's requirements
Basic Steps
Choose Focus: Select mining type and target subnet based on your resources
Setup Hardware: Prepare and optimize your mining equipment
Install Software: Install Hetu CLI and subnet-specific mining software
Register Neuron: Register your miner neuron on the network
Start Mining: Begin accepting tasks and producing digital commodities
Mining Rewards
Base rewards for completed mining tasks
Quality bonuses for high-quality outputs
Efficiency incentives for fast and reliable service
Subnet-specific multipliers and bonuses
Validator
Validators evaluate the quality and accuracy of miners' work in the Hetu network. They help maintain network integrity while earning rewards for honest and accurate assessments.
How to Become a Validator
Prerequisites
Sufficient Hetu tokens for staking requirements
Reliable hardware with stable internet connection
Technical knowledge of the target subnet's validation criteria
Basic Steps
Setup Environment: Install Hetu CLI and configure your wallet
Register Neuron: Register your validator neuron on the network
Choose Subnet: Select which subnet(s) you want to validate for
Stake Tokens: Lock the required stake amount for your chosen subnet
Start Validating: Begin evaluating miner submissions and earn rewards
Validator Rewards
Base rewards for participating in validation
Performance bonuses for high-accuracy validation
Delegation income from stakers
Subnet-specific incentives
