Fees

There are staking and unstaking fees on Bittensor.

  • Root subnet: no staking or unstaking fees
  • Fee is a percentage (that can be adjusted by the subnet owner.
    • Fee is taken as tao when staking
    • Fee is taken as alpha when unstaking

If you utilize multiple staking actions using taostats, they will be sent to the chain in a batch. Batch calls on chain have a small fee. Taostats does not collect this fee, it is paid to the chain.
