# HotKeyNotRegisteredInSubNet (/docs/errors/chain/HotKeyNotRegisteredInSubNet)

The hotkey holds no UID on the given netuid, so weight setting, commits, or UID lookups fail there. Check the `Uids` storage for the (netuid, hotkey) pair or `btcli query uid --netuid <n>`; confirm the netuid argument and register the hotkey if needed.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`not_registered`](/docs/errors/not-registered).

## Remediation [#remediation]

Register the hotkey on this subnet first with `btcli subnets register`

The same explanation is available in the terminal: `btcli explain HotKeyNotRegisteredInSubNet`.
