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.

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.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.

bittensor.commands.network.HYPERPARAMS#

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.

class bittensor.commands.network.SubnetHyperparamsCommand#

Executes the ‘hyperparameters’ command to view the current hyperparameters of a specific subnet on the Bittensor network. This command is useful for users who wish to understand the configuration and operational parameters of a particular subnet.

Usage: Upon invocation, the command fetches and displays a list of all hyperparameters for the specified subnet. These include settings like tempo, emission rates, and other critical network parameters that define the subnet’s behavior.

Example usage: >>> btcli subnets hyperparameters –netuid 1

Subnet Hyperparameters - NETUID: 1 - finney HYPERPARAMETER VALUE rho 10 kappa 32767 immunity_period 7200 min_allowed_weights 8 max_weight_limit 455 tempo 99 min_difficulty 1000000000000000000 max_difficulty 1000000000000000000 weights_version 2013 weights_rate_limit 100 adjustment_interval 112 activity_cutoff 5000 registration_allowed True target_regs_per_interval 2 min_burn 1000000000 max_burn 100000000000 bonds_moving_avg 900000 max_regs_per_block 1

Note: The user must specify the subnet identifier (netuid) for which they want to view the hyperparameters. This command is read-only and does not modify the network state or configurations.

class bittensor.commands.network.SubnetGetHyperparamsCommand#

Executes the ‘get’ command to retrieve the hyperparameters of a specific subnet on the Bittensor network. This command is similar to the ‘hyperparameters’ command but may be used in different contexts within the CLI.

Usage: The command connects to the Bittensor network, queries the specified subnet, and returns a detailed list of all its hyperparameters. This includes crucial operational parameters that determine the subnet’s performance and interaction within the network.

Example usage: >>> btcli sudo get –netuid 1

Note: Users need to provide the netuid of the subnet whose hyperparameters they wish to view. This command is designed for informational purposes and does not alter any network settings or configurations.
