The Big Picture

The flow normalization exponent (p) affects how TAO flow values are scaled. Part of the economic formula determining subnet weight based on flow dynamics.

Use Cases

  • Understand flow normalization
  • Research subnet economics

ITEM --> Flow Normalization Exponent (p)

Purpose & Usage

Purpose

Control flow normalization in subnet economics.

Common Query Patterns

  • Single value query
Part of: TAO Flow

Stored Value

value (FixedU128)

Decoding the value

FixedU128 (Q64.64 fixed-point)

FixedU128 encodes as Q64.64: raw bits divided by 2^64 gives the rational. Magnitude > 0 means non-zero.

const fraction = Number(value as bigint) / 2 ** 64;

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 FlowNormExponent storage (no keys - plain value)
const result = await api.query.SubtensorModule.FlowNormExponent.getValue();
console.log("FlowNormExponent:", result);
