Challenges we ran into
-
Parsing Transactions from Multiple Wallets
Each wallet (e.g., Metamask, Coinbase) and chain has its own data structure and quirks. -
Standardizing Different Token Types
Normalizing native tokens, ERC-20s, NFTs, and LP tokens across chains was complex and error-prone. -
Identifying Taxable Events Correctly
Mapping blockchain events to tax categories (buy/sell/stake/airdrop/etc.) required deep domain understanding. -
Real-Time Token Valuation
Fetching historical prices for every transaction timestamp to calculate gains was technically intensive. -
User-Friendly UI for Complex Data
Presenting detailed tax data in a way that's understandable for non-tech users was a UX challenge.
6.Integrating IPFS via Pinata
Ensuring reliable upload, retrieval, and pinning of tax reports on IPFS took careful handling of APIs.
