Introducing the Swiss Subnet: A Secure and Compliant Blockchain Infrastructure Leveraging the Internet Computer Protocol

Hi @BANG, thanks for your questions. I can answer the Subnet Rental Canister (SRC) and ICP related questions:

  1. The exchange rate for these 820 TC/day is fixed by the time the proposal was created. When the proposal was created, that meant 41075.50372445 ICP. This means that over the course of 6 months, all of these ICP will be burnt.

  2. If an error happens during proposal execution, that will lead to a failed proposal execution. It would require to recreate the proposal. However, given that we use unbounded calls to the external canisters involved here (without a timeout), the responses are essentially guaranteed. The same holds for the future conversions, and there we will retry every day and check if there are ICP to be converted.

  3. This will be changed to a push-based mechanism where the NNS would notify the SRC on subnet creation. We will implement this until there is a proposal out to form the swiss subnet on the node level.

  4. The nodes used for the Swiss subnet will have the same requirements as all other nodes on the ICP, so the same risks apply as for other nodes.

  5. Note that the SRC runs on the NNS subnet, not on the swiss subnet, to avoid these concerns.

  6. These are only logs from the SRC itself, not for canisters on the swiss subnet. GDPR/FADP compliance needs to be ensured by the individual apps running on the swiss subnet.

  7. We run this job every day, but only every 30 days a customer is “billed”. Together with the monitoring solutions we can timely react if something continues to go wrong.

  8. This would be a question for the @Swiss_Subnet team, what I can say is that this is independent of the SRC.

  9. For @Swiss_Subnet

  10. Again for @Swiss_Subnet. Regarding ICP demand; since the subnet is payed for in ICP, which will be burnt, this is one natural way to decrease ICP supply.
