taostats has been the official Bittensor block explorer since 2022. The most widely used platform in the ecosystem for staking, portfolio tracking, tax reports, subnet discovery, and validator analytics. Home to the leading Bittensor API and the deepest historical on-chain data you'll find anywhere.
taostats is funded by public delegation. Support us by delegating stake to the taostats.io validator

Standard OAuth authentication powered by on-chain identity and permissions.
Use wallets as identities.
Use on-chain state as access control.
Works with any OAuth2 or OIDC library
THE PROBLEM
Custom auth gets rebuilt for every subnet
OAuth doesn't understand miners or stake
Off-the-shelf tools can't authenticate
Can't login with a browser wallet
Wallet = Identity
Chain State = Permissions
OAuth = Access Token
SOLUTION
Taostats Auth Gateway connects Bittensor identity to the existing OAuth ecosystem.
Taostats Auth Gateway connects Bittensor identity to the existing OAuth ecosystem.
1 / App requests login
2 / Redirect to taostats Auth
3 / Wallet signs authentication
4 / On-chain verification
5 / JWT token issued
6 / Application grants access
On-chain scopes are re-verified at every token refresh. If a miner deregisters, their access lapses automatically at the next epoch. No manual revocation.
Scope

Permissions follow the chain automatically.
Headless Miner Auth
CLI authentication using Device Code Flow (RFC 8628)
Validator Dashboards
Gate access to subnet validators. Access auto-revokes when deregistered.
Token Gated Content
Different content at different holder thresholds.
Subnet Owner Portals
Verify subnet ownership automatically, no allowlist required.
Authorization Code + PKCE
Standard web application login
Device Code Flow
CLI and headless authentication
OpenID Connect
