# root-basket-total-nav (/docs/query/root-basket-total-nav)

Sampling this over time yields the TAO/day flowing to root stakers.

**Category:** Staking

## Parameters [#parameters]

This read takes no parameters.

## CLI [#cli]

```bash
btcli query root-basket-total-nav --json
```

## Python [#python]

Namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

```python
import bittensor as bt

sub = bt.Subtensor()
result = sub.staking.root_basket_total_nav()
```

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

```python
result = sub.read("root_basket_total_nav")
```

Async is the same surface awaited: `async with bt.Subtensor() as client:`.
