Hyperparameters
owner_cut_enabled
Per-subnet toggle for the subnet owner's 18% share of alpha emission.
Controls whether the subnet owner receives their cut of the subnet's alpha emission. Owners care because it is their revenue; stakers and miners care because whatever the owner does not take is redistributed to them.
How it works
The cut percentage itself is a global, root-set value (SubnetOwnerCut,
11796/65535 ≈ 18%). This flag only decides, per subnet, whether the deduction
happens at all. It defaults to true.
Every block, when the chain accrues the subnet's alpha_out, it multiplies it
by the cut percentage, subtracts that from the amount destined for
participants, and accumulates it in a pending bucket. At the next epoch the
pending cut is staked directly to the subnet owner's hotkey and coldkey, while
the remainder goes through Yuma Consensus to miners, validators, and stakers
(see the per-tempo split).
When the flag is off, no deduction happens: the full alpha_out flows to
participants and the owner receives nothing — the forgone cut is not stashed
or paid retroactively. Blocks are settled as they accrue, so flipping the flag
mid-tempo affects only the blocks after the change.
alpha_out accrued over one tempo, divided at the epoch. Owner cut is 18% (SubnetOwnerCut) when owner_cut_enabled; the remainder splits 50/50 between miners and validators + stakers (root proportion omitted for clarity). Focused on owner_cut_enabled: flip the highlighted toggle off and the owner segment vanishes — the full alpha_out flows to miners and validators, and the forgone cut is never stashed or paid retroactively.
