The Big Picture

StakeLocked is the on-chain trail of the conviction system. Every lock_stake call emits one of these. Aggregating them tells you who's committing for the long term and on which subnets.

Use Cases

  • Confirm a lock_stake transaction settled
  • Build dashboards of locked stake per validator or per subnet
  • Track conviction-building activity over time

How to Use This Event

  • Indexers track this to compute per-validator locked alpha
  • Dashboards filter by netuid to show subnet conviction trends

From Chain Metadata

Stake has been locked to a hotkey on a subnet.

Postconditions
