Portfolio tracking
A portfolio record can help organize what you hold and where the numbers came from. It cannot predict future value, remove market risk, or replace records required for tax or legal purposes.
General information only · Verify current details with primary sources and providers.
Build a useful record
Capture the details behind the balance.
A snapshot is easier to review when it is tied to a date, a source, and the transactions that changed it.
- 01
Record the asset name, network, and any identifier needed to distinguish similarly named tokens.
- 02
Track units, transaction dates, transfers, fees, and the source and time of any displayed valuation.
- 03
Note where the record came from and when you last checked it against your exchange or wallet history.
Review carefully
Separate recorded facts from estimates.
Imported history can be incomplete, assets can use different networks, and quoted prices may not reflect what could be received in a transaction.
- 01
Reconcile deposits, withdrawals, and transfers so the same movement is not counted twice.
- 02
Label missing, estimated, or unverified values instead of treating them as confirmed.
- 03
Keep private keys, recovery phrases, passwords, and authentication codes out of tracking files.
Keep the frame clear
Crypto asset values can fall substantially, and a record of past balances does not indicate what a future balance will be. This page does not recommend assets, amounts, or portfolio changes.
