Types of Subnet

The Skynet protocol includes various subnet types tailored to specific DePIN resource or asset requirements:

  • Public Subnet: These subnets are accessible to the public and cater to applications that do not require high-security measures or authorization before use. Users or enterprises utilizing this subnet do not need permission; it is permissionless.

  • Private Subnet: Reserved and restricted, private subnets provide resources for applications requiring heightened security and privacy. Only whitelisted enterprises or entities can access these private subnets. The enterprise or entity is responsible for configuring automated failover between different private subnets.

  • Sovereign Subnet: Sovereign subnets are inaccessible to any parties other than the entity that established them, as they are dedicated solely to the use of the creating entity. For example, an enterprise-scale AI company might utilize Skynet for its own AI training and inference
