# delegated (/docs/query/delegated)

Each `stake` is denominated in the subnet's own currency: subnet alpha, or
TAO when netuid is 0.

**Category:** Delegation

## Parameters [#parameters]

| Parameter      | Type   | Description                        |
| -------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------- |
| `coldkey_ss58` | string | Coldkey whose nominations to list. |

## CLI [#cli]

```bash
btcli query delegated --coldkey <ss58|name> --json
```

## Python [#python]

Namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

```python
import bittensor as bt

sub = bt.Subtensor()
result = sub.delegation.delegated(coldkey_ss58="5F...")
```

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

```python
result = sub.read("delegated", coldkey_ss58="5F...")
```

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