# Into: Chunking

Subnet 40 carries a claimed on-chain identity, Chunking by VectorChat, but as of today its declared code repository and product site are both unreachable, so the current specifics cannot be confirmed from a primary source here.

### What is Chunking?

Subnet 40's registered on-chain identity is "Chunking," and the current slot owner (coldkey 5F9Qvc...RfN6w) declares the repository github.com/VectorChat/chunking_subnet. As of 2026-06-08, that repository returns a 404 and the associated product site (chunking.com) is unreachable, so there is no readable repository, documentation, or live product surface available right now to confirm what the subnet builds or how its miners and validators operate. This may reflect a move to private development, a site migration, or temporary downtime, so we are not inferring the mechanism from third-party descriptions.

On neutral on-chain market state: the alpha token trades at about 0.00323 TAO, for a market cap near 17,059 TAO, with roughly 6,912 TAO of depth in the pool. The current emission share is 0%, which under Bittensor's flow-based (Taoflow) emission model means recent net staking flows into the subnet have not been positive; the trailing 7 day net flow reads about negative 113 TAO. These are market readings only, not a characterization of the team or its development.

### Risk Factors

- **Limited verifiable documentation right now:** the on-chain declared repository and product site are both unreachable as of this writing, so the mechanism and product status cannot be sourced and verified.
- **Deregistration:** the subnet's emission share is 0% and it is well past its 4 month immunity window. Under automatic deregistration, the non immune subnet with the lowest EMA price is removed when a new subnet registers.

We'll revisit Chunking with a full writeup once its repository or documentation is reachable again.
