serve-axon-tls

Publish this hotkey's axon endpoint with a neuron certificate.

Same as serve_axon plus a compact neuron certificate stored on chain: one algorithm byte followed by up to 64 bytes of public key — not an X.509 TLS certificate blob (anything else fails to decode). The chain only publishes the key for peers to fetch; there is no chain-side TLS handshake, and running any TLS endpoint is up to the caller. Signed by the hotkey, which must be registered on the subnet. Use plain serve_axon when peers do not need a published key.

Signer	Pallet	Wraps
`hotkey`	SubtensorModule	`SubtensorModule.serve_axon_tls`

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`netuid`	integer	yes	Subnet on which to publish the endpoint.
`ip`	string	yes	Public IPv4 or IPv6 address of the endpoint, in standard dotted or colon notation.
`port`	integer	yes	TCP port the endpoint listens on.
`certificate`	string	yes	Neuron certificate as 0x-prefixed hex: 1 algorithm byte followed by up to 64 bytes of public key. Not an X.509 certificate; other formats fail to decode on chain.
`protocol`	integer	no	Application protocol tag stored alongside the endpoint; its meaning is subnet-defined.
`version`	integer	no	Version number of the serving neuron's software, stored with the endpoint.

Address parameters (--hotkey, --coldkey, --dest, ...) accept a raw ss58 address, an address-book or proxy-book name, or a local wallet/hotkey name.

CLI

Preview with --dry-run (shows fee, effects, and policy result without submitting), then submit:

btcli tx serve-axon-tls \
  --netuid <int> \
  --ip <value> \
  --port <int> \
  --certificate <value> --dry-run
btcli tx serve-axon-tls \
  --netuid <int> \
  --ip <value> \
  --port <int> \
  --certificate <value> -w my_coldkey

Python

import bittensor as sub
from bittensor.wallet import Wallet

wallet = Wallet(name="my_coldkey", hotkey="my_hotkey")
intent = sub.ServeAxonTls(netuid=1, ip="...", port=0, certificate="...")

async with sub.Client("finney") as client:
    plan = await client.plan(intent, wallet)   # fee, effects, policy — no submission
    result = await client.execute(intent, wallet)
    if not result.success:
        print(result.error.code, result.error.remediation)

Or build it by op name, as an agent would:

await client.execute_tool("serve_axon_tls", {...}, wallet)
