Hotkey parameter updates for validator job runners after bittensor 10
Teams sometimes discover that the real friction after bittensor 10 is not the whole runtime stack but a smaller set of request shape changes. This page covers one such case: renamed hotkey address parameters appearing across helper calls, batch jobs, and wallet-adjacent workers that still assume older naming conventions.
Where drift usually appears
Parameter drift often shows up first in asynchronous job runners or lightly tested operational scripts. A small mismatch between expected and current names can make the upgrade appear unstable even when the broader service is intact.
Migration review checklist
- Identify every call site that still uses deprecated hotkey naming.
- Move parameter normalization into a shared wrapper where possible.
- Run smoke tests that touch both scheduled jobs and direct operator paths.
- Document remaining migration steps for teams that share the helper.
Why this page is intentionally partial
This note focuses on request naming and operational validation. It is useful when parameter cleanup is the main task, but it does not attempt to represent every other compatibility issue that may have arrived with the release.
