### `200` — Latest global network parameters

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `data` | `object` | Yes | Latest global network parameters, shaped for HTTP JSON output. All fields are nullable per `docs/api_spec.md`; the `ValueQuery` storage items are always populated, while the three documented fields can be `null`. |
| `data.block_number` | `integer (int32)` | Yes | Block height at which this snapshot was taken. |
| `data.coldkey_swap_announcement_delay` | `integer (int32), nullable` | Yes | Coldkey swap announcement delay (blocks). |
| `data.coldkey_swap_reannouncement_delay` | `integer (int32), nullable` | Yes | Coldkey swap reannouncement delay (blocks). |
| `data.coldkey_swap_schedule_duration` | `integer (int32), nullable` | Yes | Coldkey swap schedule duration (blocks). Null on current runtimes — the backing storage was removed by a chain migration. |
| `data.dissolve_network_schedule_duration` | `integer (int32), nullable` | Yes | Network dissolve schedule duration (blocks). |
| `data.max_childkey_take` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Max childkey take (decimal, 0-1). |
| `data.max_delegate_take` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Max delegate take (decimal, 0-1). |
| `data.min_childkey_take` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Min childkey take (decimal, 0-1). |
| `data.min_delegate_take` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Min delegate take (decimal, 0-1). |
| `data.network_immunity_period` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Network immunity period (u64 as string). |
| `data.network_last_registered` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Last registered network block (u64 as string). Null only on the pre-migration standalone-storage window. |
| `data.network_lock_reduction_interval` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Lock reduction interval (u64 as string). |
| `data.network_min_lock_cost` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Min lock cost (RAO, u64 as string). |
| `data.network_rate_limit` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Network rate limit (u64 as string). |
| `data.nominator_min_required_stake` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Min nominator stake (RAO, u64 as string). |
| `data.pending_childkey_cooldown` | `integer (int64), nullable` | Yes | Childkey cooldown (blocks). |
| `data.senate_required_stake_percentage` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Senate required stake percentage (decimal, 0-1). Always null — the senate was removed from the chain (only an orphaned storage value remains) and the old-API contract is null. |
| `data.stake_threshold` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Stake threshold (RAO, u64 as string). |
| `data.subnet_moving_alpha` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Subnet moving alpha (raw I96F32 bits, as string). |
| `data.subnet_owner_cut` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Subnet owner cut (decimal, 0-1). |
| `data.timestamp` | `string` | Yes | ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 timestamp of the snapshot block. |
| `data.tx_childkey_take_rate_limit` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Childkey take rate limit (u64 as string). |
| `data.tx_delegate_take_rate_limit` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Delegate take rate limit (u64 as string). |
| `data.tx_rate_limit` | `string, nullable` | Yes | Transaction rate limit (u64 as string). |

### `404` — No network parameters snapshot recorded yet

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `message` | `string` | Yes | Plain-english message describing the failure from the caller's perspective. |
| `status_code` | `integer (int32)` | Yes | HTTP status code (mirrored in the response status line for convenience). |

### `500` — Internal server error

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `message` | `string` | Yes | Plain-english message describing the failure from the caller's perspective. |
| `status_code` | `integer (int32)` | Yes | HTTP status code (mirrored in the response status line for convenience). |
