Smarter Staking,
Powered by Core Alpha
Staking just got a strategy. Meet Core Alpha — the engine behind Crucible’s Smart TAO Allocator. It compounds your ROOT rewards and keeps your stake working across the top 20 subnets.
Stake to root. Earn alpha yield.
Rewards typically appear on your dashboard within a few days. For the quickest allocation, we recommend allocating ~10T.

Frequently Asked Questions

Crucible unlocks smarter rewards through dynamic allocation and automated optimization.
Crucible has gone through an audit by Vahalla Partners.
It’s also a non-custodial wallet, meaning you control your private keys and assets — not us or anyone else. Your funds stay in your hands, always.
The Smart Allocator is currently powered by one strategy: Core Alpha.
It auto-deploys your ROOT earnings (not your principal) into the top 20 subnets via a proxy wallet. This rebalancing against ROOT happens daily.
We have even built a simulator on our site that shows how Core Alpha would’ve performed for you. By using real past data, we compare how that same data would have performed allocated solely to ROOT. This gives you a true look at what could have been.
Yes! You can find it here.
There are no hidden fees within Crucible.
There are standard transfer / transaction fees associated.
For the Smart Allocator there is a on-chain deposit fee ~.1T to create a proxy wallet. This will be returned to you once you close your proxy wallet.
We use Polkadot proxy accounts to help allocate on your behalf. This allows us to delegate without transferring control from the underlying account. For more information on how proxies work, check out the link from Polkdadot here.
It’s all Core Alpha, all the time (for now). It tracks the top 20 subnets and routes your rewards through a proxy wallet, which allocates those rewards.
*The daily allocation is based on how much TAO is allocated. For allocations to be seen in a couple of days, it is recommended to use ~10T.
Any amount of TAO is fine. However, our Smart Allocator works best when ~10+T is used to see allocations of your rewards within a couple of days.
Smart allocator brings exposure to the top subnets. Overtime, as the root proportion drops, so will the root dividends. Staking using core alpha will ensure your returns are based in alpha and not affected by the drop in root proportion.
No, at this time we do not unstake for you.
At this time, Crucible does not support custom strategies. You can allocate subnets manually if you don’t want to use the Core Alpha allocation.
No, at this time the validator is the Crucible Labs validator. If you want to chose a different validator, you must manually stake.
100% We’d be sad to see you go, but you can pull out if you aren’t getting what you thought. When you do close the allocator functionality with us, you will receive your deposit back from on-chain proxy wallet creation.
You will be able to check your wallet and see how your earnings are performing.
You can decide your comfort zone for slippage. Markets move fast — and between clicking confirm and execution, the price can shift.
After downloading the Chrome extension, you’ll be prompted to either create a new wallet. Select “Create” to set up a new wallet. You’ll then receive a 12-word recovery phrase (mnemonic) — be sure to save this securely, as it’s essential for recovering your wallet. Next, you’ll be asked to choose a wallet name and set a password. Once that’s complete, your wallet will be ready to use!
You sure can! There is a drop down menu where you can select which wallet you want to use.
When you enter an address to transfer/receive, you will be given an opportunity to check a box to save the wallet address locally in your wallet.
Please save this in a secure location, written on a piece of paper. We cannot recover your phrase for you.
