I tried once, planning to fill in my transaction records at the end of the year, but I ended up staying up until 2 a.m. still trying to figure out "where exactly this came from"… To be honest, everything on the blockchain is transparent, but if you don’t keep your own record, it becomes overwhelmingly transparent. Now I have a simple method: every time I make a large trade, cross-chain transfer, or move in or out of DeFi, I take a screenshot + note “why I did this step,” then put the address and tx hash into a spreadsheet, so I don’t have to rely on memory later.

Recently, when I was staking and sharing security benefits, I got criticized for “nested DeFi,” which I can understand. The longer the process, the harder it becomes to explain “where the money went, and why it increased or decreased”… Anyway, I now prefer to go through a couple of extra steps to ensure my records match. I would take things very seriously if something went wrong, but normally I just do my homework first to avoid freaking out during tax season.
