Just browsing my wallet again, and it’s another pile of on-chain transaction records—my head hurts. Anyway, for someone like me who keeps trying new chains everywhere and farming L2 incentives, the biggest fear when doing tax filing at year-end is this: on-chain records are scattered here and there, so they don’t match up at all.

My improvised solution: after every action, I immediately jot it down in Notion—date, operation, amount, and gas fees (this one is mandatory; I’m in the “cheapskate to the extreme” stage), plus the wallet address. Simple and brutal. Not perfect, but at least when I reconcile my accounts at year-end, I’ll have something roughly to refer to.
Sigh, some new L1s have been rolling out incentives lately, and old users are all complaining about “mine, withdraw, and sell.” But honestly, once those rewards are withdrawn, how do you calculate the cost basis? I can barely remember how much gas I paid back then… Forget it—I’ll just keep honest records like a ledger.
