Hotkeys
Hotkeys are part of your Bittensor wallet, and are used to perform actions on the chain in a secure fashion. Coldkeys can have multiple hotkeys. Each hotkey can be used to:
- Register a miner or validator on a subnet. (You can use the same hotkey on multiple subnets, but you cannot reuse the same hotkey on a single subnet).
- Use a validator's hotkey to stake tao.
In both of these cases, staking rewards are added to the hotkey wallet.
All tao added to a hotkey remains in your wallet, and can be easily transferred back to the coldkey.
