# NewHotKeyIsSameWithOld (/docs/errors/chain/NewHotKeyIsSameWithOld)

Swap\_hotkey was called with `new_hotkey` equal to the current hotkey, so there is nothing to swap. Check the extrinsic arguments and supply a different destination hotkey.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).

Declared at [`pallets/subtensor/src/macros/errors.rs#L65`](/code/pallets/subtensor/src/macros/errors.rs#L65).
