The Subnet Wall
FAQ
FAQ
Boosts, payments, and wall impact.
A practical guide to visibility boosts, payment match states, lifecycle states, and permanent wall placements.
What is The Subnet Wall?
The Subnet Wall is a visibility layer for Bittensor subnets. It shows boosted subnets, public support signals, activity, and wall impact in one place.
It is not a ranking of subnet quality and does not represent investment merit, expected performance, or endorsement.
What does a boost buy?
A boost buys visibility and a public support signal for a selected subnet. Bigger boosts can create stronger visual weight on the wall while the boost is active.
The Subnet Wall may operate a temporary alpha position in the selected subnet as part of the product model, but the booster is buying visibility, not ownership.
Does the booster own the alpha position?
No. Any temporary alpha position is operated by The Subnet Wall. The booster does not own that position and does not receive yield, redemption rights, investment rights, or control over it.
The boost should be understood as a visibility purchase and support signal.
What happens after payment?
A boost starts as Pending. After the payment amount is matched or manually reviewed, it can become Verified. When the boost is placed on the wall, it can become Active.
Active placement follows the selected plan duration. After that duration, the boost can become Expired while remaining visible in activity history.
What do Pending, Verified, Active, and Expired mean?
Pending means the boost was created but has no wall impact. Verified means the payment has been accepted or reviewed. Active means the boost currently affects wall visibility. Expired means the active placement has ended.
Wall impact is tied to the boost lifecycle, not just the payment state.
What if the payment amount is slightly different?
Payments are checked with a small tolerance. A payment can be marked matched when the received amount is close enough to the expected amount.
The current mock uses payment match states: missing, matched, underpaid, and overpaid.
What if payment is underpaid or overpaid?
Underpaid or overpaid boosts may require manual review. The boost should not be treated as automatically verified just because a payment-like amount was recorded.
In the admin mock, manual override is possible for testing, but it should be treated as an operational review action.
What are the first 5 permanent slots?
The first 5 boost purchases receive permanent wall placement. This means the subnet keeps a permanent placement marker on the wall.
It does not mean a permanent active boost. Active visibility still follows the selected plan duration.
Can anyone boost any subnet?
The product is designed so supporters can boost subnets they care about. A Community Boost can come from a supporter, observer, holder, builder, or other participant.
Official Boosts should represent a team or project-controlled signal and may require additional review before being treated as official.
Community Boost vs Official Boost
Community Boost means the support signal comes from someone backing or highlighting a subnet. Official Boost means it is presented as coming from the subnet team or an authorized project source.
Both are visibility products. Neither should be read as a guarantee of subnet quality or future results.
Is this a ranking of subnet quality?
No. The wall shows boosted visibility and support signals. It is not a quality ranking, due diligence report, financial recommendation, or performance forecast.
Users should evaluate subnets independently and treat boosts as paid visibility.
