Become a subnet validator node
Stake → Validate → Secure
Run a subnet validator node to validate and secure incentivized & decentralized AI subnets.
Hypertensor subnets require an economic stake before becoming a subnet validator as part of its Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism under the Subnet Consensus Protocol (SCP), a collection of consensus mechanisms that ensures the security and integrity of the network of subnets.
On each epoch, validators are randomly elected for each subnet by blockchain validators to submit consensus data. Other non-elected nodes become attestors and optionally attest the elected nodes consensus data based on its accuracy of its own data.
Overwatch Nodes verify the decentralization of each subnet to ensure there are no centralized AI.
What is Hypertensor?
Hypertensor is a decentralized, blockchain-based platform that enables the creation of decentralized AI applications (DAIapps) and AI agents through subnets, the deployment of smart contracts using the native currency Tensor (TENSOR), to power deAI, transactions, and computational services.
Subnets
A Hypertensor subnet is an decentralized & incentivized intelligence AI application with full-stack customizability that act as L2s. These subnets can be launched by anyone, and nodes of these subnets validate each other in real time. Consensus then settles on-chain to keep subnets secure, and for emissions.
Blockchain ↔ AI
The Hypertensor blockchain is a consensus layer for keeping decentralized AI models secure and incentivized. This keeps Hypertensor subnets secure for everyone while validators earn themselves TENSOR in the process.
Byzantine Fault Tolerant and Censorship Resistant
Control and decision-making within subnets are distributed across a network of participants rather than concentrating it on a single central authority. Therefore, AI models, AI agents, and general AI applications are unable to be censored by anyone and there are no single points of failure.
Smart Contracts
Hypertensor employs smart contracts, enabling subnets to deploy an unlimited range of use cases. Subnets can leverage smart contracts for immutable consensus, internal governance, enhanced security, automation, custom incentive mechanisms, cross-subnet collaboration, and more. This creates a foundation for innovation without boundaries. Smart contracts are also used as a defi layer for the enhancement of the Hypertensor AI economy.
Overwatch Nodes
Overwatch Nodes ⸺ Verifiably Decentralized
Overwatch Nodes are staked participants in the network that overwatch the network of subnets, ensuring they are decentralized, and by benchmarking them.
Each Overwatch Node is a long term trusted node based on its tracked historical subnet validator node performance.
