swap-stake

Swap stake on one hotkey between two subnets.

Moves part of a position from the origin subnet to the destination subnet while staying on the same hotkey: the alpha is swapped to TAO in the origin pool and then to alpha in the destination pool, so both legs can incur slippage. By default the call is slippage-protected: it fails (SlippageTooHigh) instead of filling once the origin/destination price ratio falls more than rate_tolerance (5%) below the ratio at submission — raise the tolerance or set slippage_protection to False to execute at any price. The two netuids must differ (SameNetuid). Use move_stake when the hotkey should change too, and remove_stake plus add_stake only if you want to control each leg separately.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`hotkey_ss58`	string	yes	Hotkey the stake is held on (the validator backing the position).
`origin_netuid`	integer	yes	Subnet the stake currently sits on.
`dest_netuid`	integer	yes	Subnet the stake ends up on. When it differs from the origin, the position is swapped through both subnet pools, which can incur slippage on each leg.
`amount_alpha`	number \| `"all"`	yes	How much of the origin position to swap across (an explicit amount; `all` is not accepted).
`slippage_protection`	boolean	no	Bound the price the swap may execute at (on by default): the call fails (`SlippageTooHigh`) instead of filling once the pool price moves more than `rate_tolerance` from the price at submission. Disable to execute at any price.
`rate_tolerance`	number	no	Maximum price move slippage protection accepts, as a fraction (0.05 = 5%). Ignored when slippage protection is disabled.

Address parameters (--hotkey, --coldkey, --dest, ...) accept a raw ss58 address, an address-book or proxy-book name, or a local wallet/hotkey name.

CLI

Preview with --dry-run (shows fee, effects, and policy result without submitting), then submit:

btcli tx swap-stake \
  --hotkey <ss58|name> \
  --origin-netuid <int> \
  --dest-netuid <int> \
  --amount-alpha <amount|all> --dry-run
btcli tx swap-stake \
  --hotkey <ss58|name> \
  --origin-netuid <int> \
  --dest-netuid <int> \
  --amount-alpha <amount|all> -w my_coldkey

Python

import bittensor as sub
from bittensor.wallet import Wallet

wallet = Wallet(name="my_coldkey", hotkey="my_hotkey")
intent = sub.SwapStake(hotkey_ss58="5F...", origin_netuid=0, dest_netuid=0, amount_alpha=1.0)

async with sub.Client("finney") as client:
    plan = await client.plan(intent, wallet)   # fee, effects, policy — no submission
    result = await client.execute(intent, wallet)
    if not result.success:
        print(result.error.code, result.error.remediation)

Or build it by op name, as an agent would:

await client.execute_tool("swap_stake", {...}, wallet)
