Using TaoScope

The subnet list defaults to ordering by market cap. Beyond search and status filters, a set of miner discovery presets re-sorts the list on values read from the chain: open UID slots, lowest registration cost, largest miner pool, and highest average per miner.

The root network, netuid 0, is excluded from these views. It has no miners and no alpha token, so subnet metrics do not apply to it.

Each subnet page is organised into four bands.

Market data

Alpha price, market cap, pool liquidity, and volume, with price history. Values can be toggled between TAO and USD.

Mine on this subnet

Registration and reward parameters read from the chain: the recycled-TAO burn, UID slots used against the ceiling, free slots, immunity period, tempo, the subnet's daily emission, and the miner pool derived from it. Alongside these sits the measured reward distribution — the top miner's share, the median earning miner's share, and top-ten concentration — taken from the subnet metagraph.

Miner leaderboard and registration cost history

Miners ranked by incentive, with the daily TAO each is currently earning, plus a chart of the registration costs TaoScope has observed over time.

Links and identity

Repository, Discord, and website links come from the subnet's on-chain identity. These are the authoritative source for what the subnet actually does and what it requires.

The validator list covers stake, take, nominator counts, and returns. Individual validator pages add stake history and per-subnet activity. Definitions for every field are in the metrics glossary.

The comparison tool puts up to four subnets or validators side by side and highlights the best value in each row. Subnet comparisons have two modes:

• Staker view — price, market cap, liquidity, emission, and other market metrics.
• Miner view — registration cost, miner pool, active miners, free UID slots, slot utilisation, and immunity period.

Selections are encoded in the URL, so a comparison can be bookmarked or shared.

Connecting a browser wallet such as Polkadot.js, Talisman, or SubWallet displays balances and delegations that are already public on chain. Connecting is optional — every other page works without it.

From the wallet and validator pages you can also stake and unstake. TaoScope prepares the transaction, then your extension shows you the details and asks you to sign. Review the amount and destination in that prompt before approving: it is the transaction that will actually be submitted.

Subnet watchlists and registration-cost alerts are stored in your own browser using local storage. They are not sent to our servers, and they do not follow you to another device.
