Queries

pending-children

Proposed child hotkeys of a parent still in cooldown, and when they apply.

set_children normally does not take effect immediately: the proposal is parked here until cooldown_block, then promoted to the finalized set that the children read returns. On subnets whose subtoken is not yet enabled the cooldown is skipped and children apply immediately, so nothing lingers here. children is (proportion, child_ss58) pairs with u64-normalized proportions, matching the children read.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`hotkey_ss58`	string	Parent hotkey whose pending children to list.
`netuid`	integer	Subnet to query.

CLI

btcli query pending-children --hotkey <ss58|name> --netuid <integer> --json

Python

Namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

import bittensor as bt

sub = bt.Subtensor()
result = sub.delegation.pending_children(hotkey_ss58="5F...", netuid=1)

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

result = sub.read("pending_children", hotkey_ss58="5F...", netuid=1)

Async is the same surface awaited: async with bt.Subtensor() as client:.
