unstake-all-alpha

Unstake all alpha from a hotkey across subnets (moves it to root).

Sells every alpha position the signing coldkey holds on this hotkey and restakes the proceeds as TAO on the root network (netuid 0), instead of releasing them to the free balance. Subnets where subtoken trading is disabled or where the position fails validation are silently skipped. Use it to consolidate onto root while keeping funds staked; use unstake_all to exit to free balance instead. Each pool swap happens at the current price with no limit protection, so large positions can incur slippage.

Signer	Pallet	Wraps
`coldkey`	SubtensorModule	`SubtensorModule.unstake_all_alpha`

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`hotkey_ss58`	string	yes	Hotkey whose alpha stake is moved to root.

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 unstake-all-alpha \
  --hotkey <ss58|name> --dry-run
btcli tx unstake-all-alpha \
  --hotkey <ss58|name> -w my_coldkey

Python

import bittensor as sub
from bittensor.wallet import Wallet

wallet = Wallet(name="my_coldkey", hotkey="my_hotkey")
intent = sub.UnstakeAllAlpha(hotkey_ss58="5F...")

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("unstake_all_alpha", {...}, wallet)
