Create Wallets & Register a Subnet
This page assumes that you have already completed the steps to Deploy a Bittensor-Rao Chain on your local machine, or are running on raonet.
Creating Wallets, Hotkeys and obtaining tao
Ok - now we have everything up and running to play with dtao. You'll want a few test wallets with a few hotkeys each. If you are familiar with bittensor, you already know the commands needed:
btcli w new_coldkey
btcli w new_hotkey
Follow the steps to create a coldkey (or two) and add a few hotkeys to each coldkey.
You'll need some tao in your coldkeys. Since it is a local network, there is a faucet:
btcli w faucet --subtensor.network local --wallet.name <your wallet name>
This will add 3,000 tao to your wallet. Repeat as needed across your coldkeys.
When making btcli commands, the default is to connect to the finney network (production chain)
To test your local chain, add:
--subtensor.network local
The bittensor version for raonet defaults to
--subtensor.network raonet
Register a subnet
To begin, you'll need to register a subnet or two:
btcli s create --subtensor.network local --wallet.name <walletname?
Add stake to a subnet
Use btcli s show
to find a validator on the subnet that you wish to stake to:
btcli st add --subtensor.network local --netuid 1 --wallet.name <walletname>
Enter staking hotkey name or ss58_address (default): <the hotkey>
Slippage is the amount of the tao that you will immediately lost by completing the transfer. Smaller transfers (as a percentage of tao staked to the subnet) have lower slippage.

Choosing a different hotkey will stake on that other hotkey.
