Feature toggle for Liquid Alpha mechanics.
Current Value
falseRelevant for: validatorssubnet ownersstakersdevelopers
The Big Picture
Liquid Alpha is an advanced emission mechanism that makes stake more dynamic. This flag enables or disables the feature network-wide. When off, traditional stake-weighted emissions apply. When on, alpha mechanics add responsiveness to network conditions.
Why This Matters
Check this flag to know which emission model is active. Liquid Alpha changes optimal staking strategies - you need to know which rules apply.
Example
If LiquidAlphaOn is true, your emissions depend on both stake and dynamic alpha factors. If false, emissions are purely stake-weighted. Your strategy differs significantly.
Common Questions
- How does Liquid Alpha change my strategy?
- With Liquid Alpha, active participation matters more. Passive staking is less optimal. Dynamic factors like recent performance influence your share.
- Can subnets individually enable/disable this?
- This is a network-wide flag. All subnets use the same setting. Individual subnet parameters may modify how alpha is calculated within that subnet.

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 LiquidAlphaOn constant
