The most interesting finding is the gap between claims and verified burns: 16 claims on the register, but only 5 subnets burning, totaling 23.6 TAO. It matters because claimed buybacks and measured token destruction are different evidence for allocators. From October 9 to October 16, REAX gained +501.3% while Attune fell -35.3%, showing sharp dispersion across subnets. The top 10 held 49.3% of market capitalization. If this pattern continued, TAO holders allocating across subnets would face widely divergent outcomes, while burn claims would remain a weak substitute for direct chain evidence.
Indexed AlphaBurned and AlphaRecycled outcomes this week: 2,690 α ≈ 23.6τ across 5 subnets. Actual emitted alpha amounts; TAO values use panel prices.

Where the 16 published buyback claims stand. 9 show on-chain evidence in the last 30 days and 7 show nothing the method can see. Unverified, not false: alpha bought and held, or bought from an unpublished wallet, leaves no trace here.

AlphaBurned and AlphaRecycled event outcomes, by UTC day, over
the last 90 panel days. Each subnet's alpha is valued at the panel's latest price for that subnet, so
the height is comparable across days at today's prices, not the price on the day.The five largest subnets hold 33.8% of subnet market cap and the ten largest 49.3%. Over the last 90 days the top-5 share moved +5.3% (from 28.5% on 2026-07-09) and the top-10 share +6.9%.
The median subnet's root proportion is 0.155, -0.017 against 0.172 on 2026-07-09. Root proportion is the share of a subnet's stake weight that comes from root (netuid 0) rather than its own alpha; as it falls, the subnet's own token carries more of its validation.
Market-cap change over the week, excluding subnets under 2,000τ where a large percentage move carries no information.

One snapshot per day, unbroken since dTAO opened, plus a direct chain read of owner wallets for the buyback figures. Nothing here is estimated, modelled or sourced from a disclosure. It is what the chain showed. Where a figure has a known limit, the limit is stated next to it rather than in a footnote.
