TAO staking calculator
Root and subnet positions use different units. Root projections use TAO. Subnet projections use alpha, whose TAO value can change with price, liquidity, fees, and slippage.
Estimate a root TAO or subnet-alpha reward projection. Treat the result as a planning figure, not a promise of the TAO value received when unstaking.
- Compare subnet market context before staking decisions
- Review wallet exposure across root TAO and subnet alpha
- Use validator and subnet research alongside market data
Inputs and limitations
The calculator applies the selected APR to the entered amount and timeframe without compounding. Root uses the displayed planning rate. Subnet APRs come from live market data and can change. Neither result includes future alpha-price movement, liquidity changes, fees, or slippage.
Reading a subnet result
A higher alpha APR means more projected alpha units, not necessarily more TAO. Compare the subnet's market, liquidity, emissions, and exit conditions before treating the projected return as an investment outcome.
Does this page estimate live subnet staking returns?
Subnet APRs are refreshed from live subnet data. The root tab currently uses a fixed 7% planning rate, clearly marked as an estimate rather than a live protocol calculation.
Should staking decisions include subnet data?
Yes. In the dTAO era, subnet market behavior and wallet exposure can materially change the risk profile of a staking decision.
Does subnet APR guarantee more TAO?
No. Subnet APR estimates rewards in that subnet's alpha token. The amount of TAO you get back when unstaking can still be higher or lower depending on alpha price, liquidity, fees, and slippage.
