The signing account is not a member of the Senate. Only Senate members (top validators by stake ) can propose, vote on, or close Senate proposals.

Encountered by: validators

Why This Error Exists

The Senate is composed of the top validators by total stake. Membership is dynamic — as stake rankings change, Senate seats are reassigned automatically.

From Chain Metadata

Account is not a member

What This Means

The signing account is not a member of the Senate. Only Senate members (top validators by stake) can propose, vote on, or close Senate proposals.

Common Causes

  • Signing with an account that is not in the current Senate membership
  • You were previously a Senate member but lost your seat due to stake changes
  • Using the wrong account (e.g., coldkey instead of the registered validator hotkey)

How to Fix

  • Query Senate.Members to check the current membership list
  • Verify you are signing with the correct account
  • If you lost your seat, increase your stake to re-enter the top validators
