How Chain Glance works.
Add a wallet address, we sync everything from the blockchain, you get a complete portfolio with tax-ready exports. No private keys, no manual data entry.
Read-only access. No wallet signature required.
Step 1 · Connect
Add a wallet in under a minute.
Paste a public address, use WalletConnect, or sign in with email, Google, Apple, or Coinbase. We never ask for private keys, seed phrases, or wallet signatures.
- Public address only. Never private keys
- MetaMask, Coinbase, Phantom, Ledger, Trezor, and 700+ more
- Multi-address support (1 on Free, 45 on Personal, 500 on Trader)
Step 2 · Sync
We pull the on-chain data automatically.
No CSV imports, no manual entry. Chain Glance queries blockchain nodes, DEX events, DeFi protocols, and price oracles, then organizes everything in your dashboard within minutes.
- Token balances across every chain a wallet touches
- DeFi positions: liquidity pools, staking, lending, yield
- NFT holdings with real-time floor prices
- Complete transaction history with gas fees
Step 3 · Categorize
Every transaction labeled automatically.
Raw blockchain data is messy. Chain Glance detects DEX swaps, deposits, claims, NFT mints, bridges, gas, and more, then matches each to the correct USD value at the time of the trade.
- DEX swaps, bridges, transfers, deposits, claims, NFT trades
- Historical price matching (USD value at time of transaction)
- Gas fees recorded for every transaction
- Manual override for edge cases
Step 4 · Visualize & Export
Dashboard, charts, and tax-ready CSV.
Open your dashboard for a complete portfolio view by chain, by asset, by transaction. Export to Bitcoin.Tax with their built-in Chain Glance importer, or download CSV for any tax tool that supports it.
- Total value, asset allocation, performance over time
- Per-position DeFi detail with APY/APR
- Bitcoin.Tax one-click import
- Custom date ranges and wallet filters
Why this approach
Built on the blockchain's public ledger.
Every transaction, token transfer, and smart contract interaction on a public blockchain is permanently recorded and accessible to anyone. Chain Glance reads that public data with just your wallet address, the same information visible on any block explorer like Etherscan or Solscan.
We never ask for private keys, seed phrases, passwords, or wallet signatures. We can't move, spend, or access your funds. We can only view what's already public.
That read-only architecture means you keep total control of your assets while getting a complete picture of what you own across every chain.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does setup take?
Usually less than 2 minutes per wallet. Enter your public address, and Chain Glance immediately begins syncing. Adding 5 wallets takes about 10 minutes total.
Will I see real-time prices?
Yes. Market prices update every 60 seconds from CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap. Trader tier refreshes balances every 5 minutes; Personal every 15; Free every 60.
Can I edit transactions before exporting for taxes?
Yes. You can review and adjust transaction labels or add notes before generating tax exports. Chain Glance's automatic categorization is highly accurate, but you maintain full control.
How do you handle DEX swaps from Uniswap and other DEXes?
Chain Glance detects DEX swaps automatically by parsing smart contract event logs that identify the tokens exchanged, amounts, and prices.
What about bridged tokens?
Bridge transactions are tracked correctly across chains. Chain Glance maintains accurate records when assets move between blockchains and doesn't double-count.
Do you track gas fees?
Yes. All gas fees are automatically recorded for every transaction and can be included in tax exports. In many jurisdictions, gas fees are deductible or reduce capital gains.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. You can disconnect wallets and delete all associated data at any time from your account settings. Removed data is permanently deleted from our systems.
How accurate is the automatic categorization?
Chain Glance categorizes transactions by analyzing smart contract interactions, token flows, and protocol patterns. Common transaction types (DEX swaps, transfers, staking, deposits, claims) are detected reliably. Edge cases and unusual DeFi strategies may need a manual review or label adjustment before tax filing.
