The sigmoid steepness parameter cannot be negative.

Encountered by: subnet owners

Why This Error Exists

Sigmoid steepness affects consensus weight distribution curves. Negative values would invert the curve, which is mathematically invalid for the consensus mechanism.

From Chain Metadata

Only root can set negative sigmoid steepness values

What This Means

The sigmoid steepness parameter cannot be negative.

Common Causes

  • Providing a negative value for sigmoid steepness
  • Integer overflow resulting in negative interpretation

How to Fix

  • Use a positive value for sigmoid steepness
  • Check for integer overflow in parameter calculation
