Subnet Registration
In September 2025, subnet registration and deregistration were added back to the chain.
Subnet Registration
Section titled “Subnet Registration”Subnet registration is currently possible. The cost to register a subnet is:
Current subnet registration cost
A portion of the registration cost is paid into the subnet’s liquidity pool (with a matching amount of alpha minted to hold the price); the remainder is recycled.
The registering owner does not receive a matching alpha allocation. The earlier “alpha-to-owner” mechanic — where the subnet owner was minted alpha equal to the lock cost at registration — has been removed. Owners now participate in their subnet’s economics through the dTao market like any other holder.
Once a subnet is registered, there is a 4 day window before the next registration can occur.
Registered subnets
If the current maximum number of subnets has been reached, the lowest-ranking subnet will be deregistered.
Immunity
Section titled “Immunity”New subnets have 4 months of immunity.
Deregistration
Section titled “Deregistration”For how a subnet is chosen for deregistration and how alpha holders are paid out, see Subnet Deregistration.
