# SubtokenDisabled (/docs/errors/chain/SubtokenDisabled)

The subnet's alpha token is not yet enabled, so staking, swapping, and trading on it are blocked; `SubtokenEnabled` is false until the owner makes the `start_call` after registration. Check `SubtokenEnabled` for the netuid involved.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule`, `Swap` pallets; it classifies to the semantic code [`subtoken_disabled`](/docs/errors/subtoken-disabled).

## Remediation [#remediation]

The subnet is not active yet; wait for start\_call

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