Subnet takeover watch

A hotkey whose matured conviction reaches 18% of a subnet's eligible α can claim ownership of that subnet. Taosis already answered this one subnet at a time; this is the whole network at once, ranked by how far along the largest non-owner lock is.

The threshold comes from the chain's own code, not a published article (the 10% figure quoted elsewhere is wrong at the source). Eligible α is α staked out minus protocol-owned and burned α. What conviction locks are · read from the chain Sep 5, 2026, 05:26 UTC · 3 subnets left out because their α supply could not be read — excluded, not ranked as safe.

A high percentage is not a prediction. Conviction matures over time and decays if the lock is not perpetual, so a position near the line can fall back on its own — and the owner's own lock, which usually dwarfs everything else, is excluded here because an owner cannot take over their own subnet.
