The taostats staking app gives a number of ways to stake tao and alpha

The Taostats Staking App is part of the taostats dashboard. There are a few options to stake here:

📘

Connect your wallet to ensure you can stake

Simple staking makes it easy to perform one or two stake transactions at a time. You can buy/sell existing stake positions, or add a new one.

Existing positions

Manual

The Manual staking page lists all of your current stakes, with sliders.

Unlike the balance page, these sliders run independently, and lowering the stake of one subnet does not increase the value of the others.

Balance

📘

Undelegating & Unstaking - negative stake is removing stake from that validator.

Moving the slider to the left will reduce the amount of tao being staked. Moving to the right will add more tao to be staked.

Slippage

Taostats per-stake slider row with a Max Slippage tolerance field and info icon controlling the amount of TAO staked

Set the Max Slippage you are comfortable with having on any Stake event.

Stakes

This screenshot is from testnet, so the validator name is "Unknown."

Moving the sliders will change the staking for all subnets. The Lock prevents a stake from changing.

Example

In the screenshot the amount of stake from SN1 drops from 25 tao to 12 tao. The other subnet's stake grows proportionally. Note that SN19 has 1.55% slippage, which is over the Max Slippage value, and appears in red.

Fees

Every staking and unstaking action on the chain costs has a fee. This fee is different on each subnet Get Subnets has this parameter.

Multiple transactions

If there are multiple actions - this fee is assessed for each action.

All of the actions are run inside a batch command, which is also assessed a fee on chain:

Once the change has been made, the final fee can be seen in the Extrinsic:

These are chain fees. Taostats does not charge for staking or unstaking.
