Senator's Guide to BTCLI
Governance participants (senate members, sudo-level accounts) can propose changes, cast votes, or execute privileged commands that affect the entire network. They must have a coldkey with the relevant governance role (senate membership or sudo privileges).

Key rotation
If you suspect your coldkey may have been leaked, you can request to swap it out of your wallet, using an extrinsic blockchain transaction. This operation has a 5 day waiting period, during which your coldkey will be locked. The cost of this coldkey swap transaction is 0.1 TAO.
