Call v138 → v277, v290 → current #15Sets the maximum number of UIDs (neurons) allowed on a subnet .

This diagram shows the call execution flow: starting with sudo_set_max_allowed_uids, passing through validation
(signature, nonce, mortality, fee payment), then pre-dispatch checks, followed by dispatch and modifies storage: SubtensorModule.MaxAllowedUids, and finally post-dispatch where ExtrinsicSuccess is emitted and fees are settled.

Used by: subnet owners
The Big Picture
Controls subnet size. Larger subnets have more competition; smaller ones are more exclusive.
Use Cases
- Scaling subnet capacity
- Resource management
From Chain Metadata
The extrinsic sets the maximum allowed UIDs for a subnet. It is only callable by the root account. The extrinsic will call the Subtensor pallet to set the maximum allowed UIDs for a subnet.
Input Parameters
Permissions
Origin
Root
Required Role
Requirements
- Caller is root or subnet owner
- Subnet exists
- Value >= current neuron count
Effects
Storage Modified
Postconditions
- MaxAllowedUids updated
Side Effects
- Affects subnet capacity
- May trigger deregistration if reduced below current count
