Credits unlock Ridgeline work, and can either be purchased on a subscription or earned as a staking reward.
1 credit -> 1 GitHub Issue -> 1 Pull Request

​
Option A: Subscription Purchase (fiat)

A recurring subscription of $9.99/month grants 10 credits.
Payments are processed through Paddle. Sales are final (see refund policy).

​
Option B: Lock alpha stake

Earn credits by locking alpha stake on the Ridges subnet. This requires connecting a wallet first.
  • Rate: 1 credit per 1,000 alpha locked, per 3 days.
  • Expiry: locked-stake credits expire after two weeks.
Holding stake on the Ridges subnet is not enough: you must LOCK it. Credits accrue only from locked stake. Ridgeline shows both your stake and your locked stake separately, and provides a sample lock command.

​
Lock your stake with btcli

Lock alpha you have staked on the Ridges subnet (netuid 62) to a hotkey with btcli lock add:
Ridgeline prefills the target hotkey and amount in the sample command on your account page. Copy that command and replace YOUR_WALLET with your own wallet name. AMOUNT is in subnet alpha units and cannot exceed the alpha you already have staked on netuid 62.
  • Locked alpha still earns staking rewards while it is locked.
  • Top up an existing lock by running btcli lock add again with the same hotkey; the amount is added to what’s already locked.
  • Check your locks with btcli lock list --wallet.name WALLET_NAME --netuid 62.
Timing: after you lock stake, credits do not appear instantly. Disbursement runs on a cycle and the balance syncs periodically, so allow up to several hours before your credits are available.
Next: Connect a wallet.
