StartCallDelaySet

Event v372 → current #58

Emitted when start call delay is changed.

Useful for: subnet ownersdevelopersanalytics

The Big Picture

Some operations have built-in delays before they take effect - a safety measure that gives participants time to react. The start call delay controls how long certain operations wait before executing. Changes affect timing-sensitive workflows and coordination.

Why This Matters

If operations you trigger have delays, this parameter affects when they actually happen. Changes to the delay affect your planning and timing. Longer delays mean more waiting; shorter delays mean faster execution.

Example Scenario

Certain governance operations had 1-hour delays. To speed up execution, the delay is reduced to 30 minutes. StartCallDelaySet fires. Operations now take effect 30 minutes after initiation instead of 1 hour.

Common Questions

What operations are affected by this delay?: Depends on implementation. Typically governance, scheduled operations, or time-sensitive actions. Check which specific calls use this delay parameter.
Can the delay be zero?: Potentially, but rare. Some delays exist for security reasons - instant execution might be risky. Check if there's a minimum enforced delay.
Does this affect already-scheduled operations?: Usually not - they use the delay from when they were scheduled. New operations use the updated delay.

Use Cases

Track operational timing configuration
Plan operations around delay requirements
Monitor network configuration changes
Build timing-aware automation tools

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 });

// Subscribe to StartCallDelaySet events
api.query.system.events((events) => {
  events
    .filter(({ event }) =>
      event.section === stringCamelCase("SubtensorModule") &&
      event.method === "StartCallDelaySet"
