TAO DELEGATED TO ROOT

TAO HELD IN BASKETS

MEDIAN ROOT APR, 7D EST.

MEDIAN ALLOCATOR RETURN, 7D

ALLOCATIONS SINCE ARCHIVE START

VALIDATOR TRADES SINCE START

DELEGATE TO ROOTYour TAO stays TAO and can be withdrawn at face value. Only the yield you earn is held in the validator's basket, so only the yield moves with subnet prices.

ALLOCATE INTO A BASKETYour whole amount buys shares of the validator's basket of subnet alpha. It rises and falls with those subnets and with the validator's trading. More upside, and your principal is at risk.

HOW TO DELEGATE, ALLOCATE, CLAIM AND EXIT WITH BTCLI

Which one should I use?

Delegate to root if you want to keep your principal in TAO and earn yield. This is the right default for most people.

Allocate only if you actively want exposure to a basket of subnet alpha, managed by that validator, and accept that the whole amount can fall.

Delegate to root

btcli stake add --hotkey <VALIDATOR_HOTKEY> --netuid 0 --amount-tao <TAO>

btcli root subscribe --hotkey <HOTKEY> --amount <TAO> does the same thing. Despite the name, it is a root delegation, not an allocation.

Allocate into a basket

btcli tx stake-into-basket --hotkey <VALIDATOR_HOTKEY> --amount-tao <TAO>

Not in the stable btcli releases yet (11.0.2, 11.1.0). It exists only in the 11.3.0 pre-releases.

Check your position

btcli root list

Shows principal and accrued yield per validator.

btcli root show --hotkey <VALIDATOR_HOTKEY>

Shows what that validator's basket holds.

Claim yield

btcli root claim --hotkey <VALIDATOR_HOTKEY>

Sells your basket share and adds the proceeds to your root stake on that validator.

Exit

btcli stake remove --hotkey <VALIDATOR_HOTKEY> --netuid 0 --amount <TAO|all>

An allocation is not root stake. To exit one, claim first (which lands the proceeds as root stake), then remove stake. Commands move real funds: check the hotkey before you run them.

Every APR here is an estimate: the return over that window, scaled to a year. Short windows mostly reflect price movement, not validator skill, and nothing on this page is a ranking until 30 days of history exist. A blank cell means the data does not cover that window yet, never zero; hover it for the reason.

Root delegator APR comes from the runtime's own staker return accumulator (BasketTwr) and is already net of the validator's take. Allocator return is the change in the basket's flow-neutral share price, which is where a validator's trading shows up. Baskets under 1 TAO show no allocator return: at that size the share price is not a return. Every window uses the same start and end block for every validator.

Disclosure. FlowSniper delegates by default to tao.bot. We have no commercial relationship with tao.bot and do not own or operate it, or any validator shown here.
