Maximum alpha value for Liquid Alpha .
Current Value
58982The Big Picture
In Liquid Alpha mechanics, alpha determines how dynamic stake affects emission distribution. This constant caps the maximum alpha value, preventing extreme outcomes. High alpha shifts more emissions to dynamic stake; capping it ensures some emissions always flow to static stake.
Why This Matters
The alpha ceiling limits how much emissions can shift toward dynamic stake. Even at maximum alpha, some predictable emission flow remains, providing baseline stability.
Example
With AlphaHigh of 0.9, at most 90% of emissions are influenced by dynamic factors. The remaining 10% flows predictably regardless of network conditions. This provides a floor for consistent participants.
Common Questions
- What's the difference between high and low alpha?
- High alpha = more responsive to dynamic stake changes. Low alpha = more stable, predictable emissions. The bounds limit extremes.
- Can this value be changed?
- It's a runtime constant, so changes require runtime upgrades. Check current version for the actual ceiling.

import { ApiPromise, WsProvider } from "@polkadot/api";
import { stringCamelCase } from "@polkadot/util";
const provider = new WsProvider("wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443");
const api = await ApiPromise.create({ provider });
// Query AlphaHigh constant
const value = api.consts[stringCamelCase("SubtensorModule")][stringCamelCase("AlphaHigh")];
console.log("AlphaHigh:", value.toHuman());Type Information
