Create a Subnet

Learn how to create a record for a Subnet on the P-Chain by issuing a CreateSubnetTx transaction with the Builder Tooling.

Now that you have Core wallet set up and some AVAX on the P-Chain you can create a Subnet. You will do this by issuing a CreateSubnetTx transaction. This will create a Subnet that is uniquely identified by the transaction hash of the CreateSubnetTx transaction.

The CreateSubnetTx transaction only has a single parameter: The owner of the Subnet. The owner can add blockchains to the Subnet and convert it to an L1. With the conversion to an L1 the owner will loose it's privileges. Therefore, the owner is only relevant during the creation time and does not have to be secured by a mulit-sig if a immediate conversion to an L1 is planned. We will just use your P-Chain address as the owner.
