Taostats governance

Taostats Governance lets the Bittensor community raise proposals and vote with weight drawn from real on-chain holdings — with no gas, no fees, and nothing written on-chain. It is available at governance.taostats.io.

📘

Completely free, completely off-chain. Voting and raising proposals cost nothing. You sign a one-time message to prove you own your coldkey, but never an on-chain transaction — no gas, no funds move. Governance here is an off-chain signal, weighted by your verified on-chain balances.

How it works

1. Sign in. Sign in with Taostats and sign a one-time message to prove you own your coldkey. This is off-chain — no transaction, no gas, nothing moves.
2. Pick an option. Open a proposal, choose your option, and cast your vote. One vote per coldkey.
3. Weighted by holdings. Your weight is read from your on-chain balances. Subnet polls use your 30-day average alpha in that subnet; root polls use your 30-day average TAO-equivalent across all holdings.
4. Frozen & fair. Your weight is locked in at your first vote. You can change your option (once per epoch), but the weight stays fixed. Averaging over 30 days stops last-minute stake-loading from buying votes.

The details

• One vote per coldkey. Multiple hotkeys under one coldkey still count as a single vote, weighted by the coldkey's aggregate holdings.
• Who can propose. Anyone holding at least 1 TAO-equivalent in a poll's scope can raise a proposal in it.
• Conviction weighting (optional). A proposal can count locked (convicted) alpha more heavily, or restrict eligibility to convicted alpha only. Every poll shows its exact rule under "How this poll is weighted."
• Transparent. Every vote, its weight, and the full audit log are public. Shared links never include your coldkey or hotkey.

Why the 30-day average? Reading a rolling 30-day balance rather than a live snapshot prevents anyone from loading stake immediately before a vote to inflate their weight, then unwinding it afterwards. Governance weight reflects sustained holdings, not a momentary position.
