I tried to create a new Canister on NNS app. When I process to convert ICP to cycles, it failed. It says “Error-,28582, No subnets in which to create a canister”, however, there were no step let me choose a subnet. So what should I do now? ![Screen Shot 2021-05-11 at 11.58.40 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/2X/c/c4fd818af19a44711a60497bb8d8ac853aad85c4.jpeg) ---

Hi Becky, we appreciate your readiness to get started, but we’re still configuring the application subnets. The [pinned post](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/important-updates-on-sodium-and-beta-mainnet/2817) gets into it, but TLDR Mercury should be up to full functionality next week ---

@flyq This is a great question, and one that’s outside my expertise. Could you create a new post about it so another team member can find your question more easily? ---

Same issue here! I am on dfx 0.7.0. Tried to deploy first app in IC today using this guide → [Network deployment :: Internet Computer](https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/quickstart/network-quickstart.html) But could not deploy because no subnets. @anon74414410 ---

Problem is solved! I just converted cycles. Check the post [here](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/general-availability-of-application-subnets/5171/2), the subnet application is available now. ![Screen Shot 2021-06-15 at 12.38.12 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/2X/d/df715a4caa0531450d83a3ceadecdd5cc561dbe5.png)
