The Big Picture

Childkeys allow stake delegation hierarchies. This burn cost prevents spam creation of childkey relationships. The burned TAO is removed from circulation.

Use Cases

  • Calculate cost of setting childkeys
  • Plan childkey hierarchy expenses
  • Build childkey management tools

From Chain Metadata

ITEM --> CK burn

Purpose & Usage

Purpose

Cost in RAO to create childkey relationships.

Common Query Patterns

  • Single value query

Stored Value

Value in RAO (÷10⁹ for TAO)

RAO -> TAO (/ 10^9)

Code Examples

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 CKBurn storage (no keys - plain value)
const result = await api.query
  [stringCamelCase("SubtensorModule")]
  [stringCamelCase("CKBurn")]();
console.log("CKBurn:", result.toHuman());
