TaoMarketCap is the primary analytics and tooling platform for the Bittensor 
ecosystem. It provides subnet performance tracking, validator metrics, complete 
on-chain history, tokenomics data, and native TAO swap/send functionality - all 
in one place.

## Bittensor Network Context

Bittensor is a decentralized AI network where subnets are specialized task markets
competing for TAO emissions. Key actors: **miners** (produce work), **validators** 
(score miners, set weights), **nominators/stakers** (delegate stake to validators).
Core structures: subnets, metagraph, weights, emissions, Dynamic TAO (dTAO).

TaoMarketCap focus: discover subnets, compare validator performance, track on-chain 
activity, and execute TAO operations natively.

## Analytics

- [Subnets](/): Overview of all Bittensor subnets - emission patterns, incentive 
  distribution, recycled TAO metrics, and high-level network health data
- [Validators](/validators): Performance metrics for all network validators - vtrust 
  scores, stake weights, and daily reward distributions
- [Leaderboard](/leaderboard): Rankings of TaoMarketCap users by TAO swap volume and activity

## Blockchain Explorer

- [Blocks](/blockchain/blocks): Full historical record of all Bittensor blocks
- [Extrinsics](/blockchain/extrinsics): Complete log of all historical on-chain extrinsics
- [Swaps](/blockchain): Historical record of all TAO swap extrinsics on-chain
- [Staking](/blockchain/staking): Historical staking extrinsics for Bittensor subnet 0
- [Transfers](/blockchain/transfers): Complete history of all TAO transfer extrinsics
- [Accounts](/blockchain/accounts): All Bittensor coldkeys with historical account growth charts

## Tokenomics & Markets

- [Tokenomics](/blockchain/tokenomics): TAO supply mechanics - halving schedule, daily 
  emission rate, inflation, and circulating supply data
- [Exchanges](/blockchain/exchanges): All exchanges supporting TAO trading and liquidity pairs

## Native Tools

- [Swap](/swap): In-network TAO swap tool - move TAO between subnets and validators 
  directly on the Bittensor network
- [Send](/send): Native TAO transfer tool for sending TAO to any address in the network

## Route Parameters

- `{netUid}` - subnet ID (integer, e.g. `1`, `18`, `51`)
- `{hotkey}` - validator or miner SS58 address (e.g. `5F4tQyWr...`)
- `{coldkey}` - account SS58 address
- `{blockNumber}` - block height (integer, e.g. `4280000`)
- `{txIndex}` - extrinsic index within a block (integer, e.g. `2`)


## Subnet 0 (Root Network)

Subnet 0 is the root subnet of Bittensor - it governs TAO staking, senate 
governance, and neuron registration across the entire network.

- [Subnet 0 Overview](/subnets/0): Historical TAO price chart for the root subnet
- [Subnet 0 Staking](/subnets/0/staking): Historical staking extrinsics on subnet 0
- [Subnet 0 Stakers](/subnets/0/stakers): All coldkeys currently staking to subnet 0
- [Subnet 0 Senate](/subnets/0/senate): Bittensor senate members and governance data
- [Subnet 0 Registration](/subnets/0/registration): Neuron registration data on subnet 0


## Subnet Detail Routes

Each subnet (`{netUid}`) has its own analytics, on-chain history, and participant data.

- [Subnet Overview](/subnets/{netUid}): Historical subnet token price chart and native swap tool.  
  Example: `/subnets/51` - BitAgent subnet
- [Subnet Swaps](/subnets/{netUid}/swaps): Historical swap extrinsics on the subnet - 
  `add_stake`, `remove_stake`, and `move_stake` operations
- [Subnet Holders](/subnets/{netUid}/holders): All coldkeys holding stake on this subnet
- [Subnet Miners](/subnets/{netUid}/miners): All registered miner neurons - incentive scores, 
  performance metrics, stake, axon info, and alpha earned per day
- [Subnet Validators](/subnets/{netUid}/validators): All registered validator neurons - 
  vtrust, stake, performance, dominance, APY, and alpha per day.  
  Example: `/subnets/51/validators`
- [Subnet Weights](/subnets/{netUid}/weights): How validators assign weights to miners on this subnet
- [Subnet Tokenomics](/subnets/{netUid}/tokenomics): Circulating supply by type and daily 
  inflation charts over time

  sorted by registration date (marked as new or at-risk of deregistration), and 
  historical registrations per 24h chart
