How Auto Validators works
Keep full control of your subnet picks while Stakao handles validator selection.
You choose the subnets and how to split your TAO between them. Stakao does not change those picks.
Stakao chooses the validators. It looks for validators with strong recent delegator yield, among established validators. Root has its own ranking.
Auto Validators and Smart DCA do not use the risk engine, so they have no stop-loss or profit lock. You decide when to sell, and you can unstake at any time.

What you need to start
- A Bittensor wallet extension: Talisman, SubWallet, Nova Wallet or Polkadot.js. To activate a strategy, your wallet needs at least 2 TAO, with at least 0.1 TAO free for fees.
