Note: If you've just synced a wallet or exchange, there might be a short delay before the data appears on the Dashboard or Performance pages. Please bear with us as it processes.
Synced wallets vs non-sync wallets
There are two types of wallets you can add to CoinTracker:
- A synced wallet is either an exchange integration added via an API Key / OAUTH or as a blockchain wallet such as an xPub, ENS, or public address.
- Values in synced wallets are automatically updated as we fetch data from the blockchain and our exchange partners to maintain the accuracy of your portfolio and transaction history.
- A non-sync wallet, is either an imported wallet created by uploading a CSV file or a manual transaction added to the ‘Other transactions’ wallet.
- On the other hand, values in non-synced wallets can only be updated when you manually make alterations, such as adding or editing transactions either manually or via CSV.
What happens when you make manual edits to a synced wallet? Non-sync wallets?
Manual edits made to synced wallets update a users calculated wallet value and are reflected on your tax documents and in the Tax Center pages. However, these edits are not reflected in the Dashboard, Performance, or wallet page.
Manual edits to non-sync wallets are reflected on the Dashboard, Performance and Wallet pages. These edits update a users calculated wallet value which is included in the portfolio value calculations.
