Common Causes

The 3 Most Common Causes of "Balance Mismatch"

Blockpit compares calculated and on-chain balance. If they don't match, the dashboard shows a warning. These are the scenarios TX-Partner sees most frequently.

01_EXCHANGE_IMPORTS

Incomplete Exchange Imports

The API import or CSV export doesn't cover the entire period. Transactions from before 2020 or 2021 are often completely missing because many exchanges only provide limited history.

02_USER_EDITS

Manual User Interventions

Existing transactions weren't correctly merged. A common mistake: instead of merging existing transactions into the transfer, manual entries are made – leading to duplicate entries.

03_DEFI_ISSUES

DeFi Transactions Not Recognized

DeFi activities like bridges, swaps, or staking are often not correctly recognized. Blockpit sees the balance but not how it arrived – leading to mismatches.

Why This Matters

Incomplete Crypto Accounting = Incorrect Tax Report

Crypto tax tools calculate based on imported transactions. If the crypto accounting – the transaction history in the tool – has gaps, every tax calculation based on it will be incorrect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What We Get Asked Most

Blockpit compares the calculated balance (from imported transactions) with the synced balance (from the blockchain). If these don't match, the warning appears in the dashboard.
Yes. Automatic balancing with cost basis €0 means: every subsequent sale is calculated as 100% profit. The missing transaction must be correctly imported for the cost basis to be accurate.
