My current conclusion is pretty cautious: I’d rather do less hassle and keep my transaction records first, or I’ll really go crazy by the end of the year… Honestly, I’m not afraid of taxes, I’m afraid of not matching my accounts.

Right now, I’m doing two things: First, every time I make a large swap or move assets on-chain, I take a screenshot and add a note (what I did, why I did it); second, at the end of the month, I export both the exchange transaction history and on-chain records and upload them to the cloud drive, don’t rely on the platform to always be able to check. Especially recently with that kind of “yield stacking” staking, lots of transactions in and out, it looks pretty satisfying, but if I have to explain the source later, I get a headache.

Anyway, my self-imposed rhythm is: I can piece together the positions, but don’t go all out on transaction records. For now, that’s it. If one day I really get asked, at least I can piece the puzzle back into the original picture.
