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.

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.
