The Big Picture

Every proxy relationship is stored here. When you add_proxy, an entry is created. When you remove_proxy, it's deleted. Query this to see all proxies for any account.

Why This Matters

Want to know who can act on behalf of an account? This storage tells you every proxy delegate, their type, and any delay requirements.

Example Scenario

Query Proxies(your_account) returns ([{delegate: 5Abc..., proxy_type: Staking, delay: 0}], 1000000000). You have one staking proxy with no delay, and 1 TAO deposit locked.

Use Cases

Display proxies in wallet UI
Verify proxy relationships before execution
Build proxy relationship graphs
Audit account security setup

From Chain Metadata

The set of account proxies. Maps the account which has delegated to the accounts which are being delegated to, together with the amount held on deposit.
