Proxies

Storage Map v149 → v411 Changed in v411

The set of account proxies. Maps accounts to their proxy delegates and deposit amounts.

Queried by: stakersvalidatorsdeveloperswalletsanalytics

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.

Purpose & Usage

Purpose

Track all proxy relationships for an account - who can act on your behalf.

Common Query Patterns

Query by account to see all proxies
Check if an account has a specific proxy registered

Query Keys

#	Name	Type	Description
1	delegator account raw: key1	[u8; 32] [32]	Account that has delegated proxy authority (AccountId32 as 32-byte array).

Stored Value

(BoundedVec, u64)

.0
proxy_definitions — Bounded list of ProxyDefinition entries: each is (delegate AccountId, proxy_type, delay). The delegate accounts the delegator has authorized and on what call subset.
.1
deposit — Native-currency deposit (u64 in RAO units on subtensor) held against this proxy configuration. Returned to the delegator when proxies are removed.

Code Examples

import { createClient, Binary } from "polkadot-api";
import { getWsProvider } from "polkadot-api/ws";
import { sub } from "@polkadot-api/descriptors"; // generated by: npx papi add sub -w wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443

const client = createClient(getWsProvider("wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443"));
const api = client.getTypedApi(sub);

// Query Proxies storage
const key1 = "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000";

const result = await api.query.Proxy.Proxies.getValue(key1);
console.log("Proxies:", result);
