Minimum alpha value for Liquid Alpha .

The Big Picture
The alpha floor ensures dynamic stake always has some influence on emissions. Even at minimum alpha, dynamic factors affect distribution. This prevents subnets from becoming entirely static stake dominated, maintaining some responsiveness to real-time conditions.
Why This Matters
The alpha floor guarantees dynamic stake matters. Even at minimum, your active participation affects emissions, not just your staked balance.
Example
With AlphaLow of 0.1, at least 10% of emissions are influenced by dynamic factors even in the most static scenario. Active, performant participants always have an advantage over passive stakers.
Common Questions
- What if I just want to stake and not participate?
- You can, but dynamic participants will always capture some premium. The floor ensures pure passive staking isn't maximally efficient.
- How do AlphaLow and AlphaHigh interact?
- They define the range. Alpha moves within [AlphaLow, AlphaHigh] based on network conditions. The bounds prevent extreme scenarios.
