Live from the chain
Subnet pools
Reserves, spot alpha price and pool depth read directly off the Finney chain — the mechanism, shown live.
The instrument
The Observatory
An observation post. We watch what the network does — what changed, when it changed, and what else moved at the same moment — and publish what we can show. Every figure carries its source and its age. Where the cause of something is not knowable from the data, we say that instead of inventing a reason for it.
01
The TAO journey
Every price chart tells you what happened and then quietly implies why. This one tries to separate the two. Each marker is a day big enough to matter, and beside it sits Bitcoin's move on the same day — because the first question about any spike is whether anything happened at all, or whether the whole market moved and TAO simply moved further. Markers in red are days the market does not explain. That is a statement about arithmetic, not a claim that we know the cause.
02
Where the network stands
Reserves and spot price are read straight from Finney: the price is the pool ratio SubnetTAO ÷ SubnetAlphaIn, and depth is the TAO side of that pool. This table is rendered from the same snapshot file the written pieces cite — so the number you see here is the number a report can be held to.
Raw view — the pool table
The same snapshot as a table. Kept because a chart is a summary and a table is not: if you want to check one subnet rather than watch the network, this is the honest form for it.
| Subnet | Price (τ) | TAO in pool | Alpha in pool | Depth (τ) | Locked α | Emission |
|---|
Reading the latest snapshot…
Raw data: data/latest.json · the append-only log is in data/snapshots/. If the table above does not render, the numbers are one click away rather than hidden behind a failure.
Sourced feed
Network activity
Registration, lock-mode and emission changes, shown with the exact timestamp of the underlying source.
Historical
How things changed
Time-series built from archive-node reads, so long-range claims can be reproduced rather than believed.

Snapshots
The raw data behind each published report, exported with its query and a content hash. The log is already building, one row per six hours.
A note on freshness
Some third-party feeds republish on their own schedule and can lag by hours. Rather than pretend otherwise, this page states, on every figure, when the underlying source last changed — not merely when we last fetched it. Delayed data is still useful data, as long as nobody is told it is live. The snapshot above is taken every six hours; its age is computed in your browser each time you look, so a stale snapshot cannot quietly present itself as a fresh one.
