0. Install dependencies

yarn install

1. Copy secrets.example.ts to secrets.ts and insert private keys for the accounts that have adequate balance for deploying and calling the smart contracts.

2. Setup network:

npx hardhat run src/network-setup.ts

3. Build contracts:

npx hardhat compile

4. Deploy a contract (example):

npx hardhat run src/deploy.ts

1. Run the local BitTensor chain and wait until it builds and starts producing blocks

2. Send some testnet currency to your accounts in secrets.ts file:

npx hardhat run src/fill_accounts.ts

3. Run tests

npx hardhat test

1. yarn install
2. npx hardhat compile
3. Launch a local network with ./scripts/localnet.sh
4. Do preliminary setup 4.1

npx hardhat run src/fill_accounts.ts
npx hardhat run src/network-setup.ts

4.2 Set your subnetOwnerHotkey in src/deploy-subnet-manager.ts Important: It will become a neuron on the subnet with uid 0, so it is important to have the private key for it.

5. Run the deploy script. It will deploy the contract and perform self-diagnostics.

npx hardhat run src/deploy-subnet-manager.ts

6. Register validators

• Set netuid in src/register-validators.ts
• Fund validator coldkeys (Bob and Charlie for testing). Then execute

npx hardhat run src/register-validators.ts

7. Set registrator and developer hotkeys in smart contract

• Set contract address in setup-keys.ts
• Set public keys for validaotrs in setup-keys.ts and run

npx hardhat run src/setup-keys.ts

8. Wait until subnet owner emissions accumulate on the contract address and call distributeRewards in the contract

• The deploy script outputs the contract mirror address like this:

SS58 Mirror address of this contract: 5GBDecCfCQHfuaf16Gb9V13qwFiKJLGnfmoPm3EG2E2zj89x

This address will be the subnet owner coldkey. The subnet owner hotkey is set in step 4 (It is Dave for testing: 5CiPPseXPECbkjWCa6MnjNokrgYjMqmKndv2rSnekmSK2DjL) The hotkey can be monitored for subnet owner stake (which will be transferred by the distributeRewards method).

In order to distribute rewards:

• Fill the contract address in distribute-rewards.ts and run

npx hardhat run src/distribute-rewards.ts

9. Setting hyperparameters (developer only)

• Run

npx hardhat run src/set-hyperparameters.ts

• Verify Kappa using Polkadot AppsUI

• Change blockTime in deploy-subnet-manager.ts script
• Set subnet identity parameter in deploy-subnet-manager.ts script
