Your principal and your basket
Your root TAO stake is separate from accrued basket rewards. Root dividends accumulate as subnet alpha inside a validator’s basket instead of being sold automatically. Beta shares track your entitlement to that basket.

Recommended root validators
Every basket in the root directory is assessed, without a size or display-name cutoff. Compare rewards with capital downside, concentration and liquidity—not yield alone.
Loads separately on request. Completed daily history is shared and cached; the first full preparation can take a few minutes. Holdings stay on their existing refresh cycle. Switching preferences makes no additional requests.
How these recommendations work
Returns 30% · smaller capital drawdown 20% · lower volatility 15% · lower concentration 20% · smaller liquidity quote gap 15%.
All candidates need the same 30-day range ending yesterday UTC: 31 consecutive completed daily observations with a consistent fund-life identifier, valid staker total return and positive basket share prices. An active root permit must be confirmed. Metagraph, basket and fee/root-stake snapshots must be no more than two hours old. At least two qualifying candidates are required.
Return uses the staker total-return accumulator. Capital drawdown and daily-return standard deviation use realizable value per basket share, so accrued rewards cannot hide losses in the underlying basket. These daily-close measures miss intraday moves.
Holdings concentration uses the sum of squared allocation shares, rather than simply counting tokens. Liquidity compares whole-basket realizable value with its spot mark; it is not an individual exit-fee estimate. Each factor is ranked relative to the qualifying group; tied factors receive equal credit. A high score is not an absolute safety grade.
The universe is every basket returned by the root directory, preserving its child-only exclusion. A name, large NAV or top-eight position is not required. Positive reported root stake, a positive realizable basket value and a valid take are required before history lookup. Empty, historical or incomplete records remain accounted for in the exclusions. Completed history is cached separately from refreshed holdings and fees. Current root permits are checked against the dated SN0 metagraph. This does not independently verify operator security, service quality or insurance. Historical outcomes do not establish future returns or future risk.
TaoStats history methodology ↗These are root reward baskets, not personal wallets. A retained basket does not prove a current root validator seat. Returns below cover the stated period and are not annualized APY. Values are in TAO; each row keeps its source time. Shared hourly source cache; opening holdings does not make another request.

Root Reborn, explained
Holdings tell the story
Basket holdings are escrowed reward positions, not the validator’s personal wallet or all delegated subnet stake. Holdings show actual exposure at the snapshot; a proposed strategy does not prove an allocation.
Claiming and value
A claim realizes accrued basket entitlement into TAO staked on root. Pool depth and fees affect proceeds. Unstaking principal and claiming rewards are distinct actions; this page only shows public data.
Basket returns can fall when alpha loses value. Compare the same period, holdings and valuation basis; historical returns are not guaranteed. Current take is shown separately and may differ from fees applied during a past window.
