Q1: How do I stake TAO in this subnet?
To stake TAO and participate in our subnet, follow these steps:
- Obtain whitelist access (if required) and register your wallet address
- Send TAO to the designated staking contract or wallet
- Use the Stake feature on our platform’s interface to enter the amount and confirm the transaction
- Once the transaction is confirmed, your staking status will be reflected on the dashboard
Q2: What is an Active Key and why do I need it?
An Active Key (also called a hotkey) is a registered identity used to interact with our subnet. It is required for:
- Running mining or validation services
- Receiving and executing subnet tasks
- Earning TAO rewards based on performance and uptime
Without an Active Key, you cannot connect to or earn from the subnet.
Q3: I have staked TAO. Why is my Active Key not working yet?
Staking TAO is just the first step. For your Active Key to become operational, make sure:
- You have successfully completed the registration process
- You meet the minimum stake requirement for miners or validators
- You have downloaded and started the official miner/validator node client
- Your node is online and synced with the subnet
