stakeholder-emissions-alpha

Stakeholders may stake on a validator in a subnet.

Staking on a subnet converts tao into subnet Alpha Tokens. This will cause there to the Slippage
For every block, a percentage of emissions will be rewarded to each alpha stakeholder.

Where we are — step 6b of the emission flow
How we got here:

TAO emission — TAO split across subnets.

Alpha emission — each subnet mints alpha_in + alpha_out.

Split alpha_out among participants — owner / miners / validators.

Parent / child hotkeys — aggregate each validator's dividends.

Root vs alpha split — divide dividends into root and alpha.

This page (step 6b): distribute the alpha share to stakeholders.

Emission in Alpha

Step 1: From the total dividends in alpha - deduct the validator's take, and award to their hotkey.

Step 2: With the remaining alpha, award every hotkey a weighted average (based on the amount of alpha stake)

What's next

This is the final step of the emission flow — the alpha share has reached stakeholders as compounding subnet-alpha stake. To learn how to hold, add to, or unwind that position, see Staking in dTao and Price Impact and Slippage. See also the parallel path, Stakeholder emissions: root.
