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
The registration cost is added to the subnet’s liquidity pool, and an equal amount of alpha is minted to match the price.
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.
