Who should skip this?
Skip portfolio trackers if you only hold on one CEX, you were about to paste a seed phrase into a 'portfolio' site, or you needed tax software rather than a balance view. Connect a public address. Never a seed.
- You were asked to enter a seed phrase or private key
- Your only holdings are on a single custodial exchange
- You needed a tax-lot report, not a dashboard
What a DeFi portfolio tracker shows you
A DeFi portfolio tracker aggregates all your on-chain positions across every blockchain and protocol into a single dashboard. Instead of manually checking each protocol's website, you see: all token holdings (native assets, ERC-20s, NFTs), all DeFi positions (LP positions showing your share, lending positions showing supply and borrow amounts, staking positions showing accumulated rewards), and portfolio history (gains and losses over time).
The best trackers update in real time as on-chain data changes, giving you accurate current balances without manual calculation.
DeBank — Best for comprehensive DeFi tracking
DeBank is one of the most comprehensive DeFi portfolio trackers for EVM chains, covering about 70 EVM networks (73 in its chain list, September 2026) — but not Solana, Bitcoin or other non-EVM chains. Its 'DeFi Positions' breakdown is unmatched — it correctly identifies LP positions (showing your underlying token amounts, not just LP token value), lending positions (separating supply from collateral from borrow), and vesting schedules.
DeBank's 'Social' feature shows which DeFi positions top wallets hold, which many users find useful for monitoring known smart money. The free tier covers all core portfolio functions. DeBank Pro adds enhanced analytics and alerts.

Zerion — Best interface and mobile app
Zerion has the cleanest and most polished portfolio interface of any tracker. Its mobile app (iOS and Android) is excellent for checking your portfolio on the go. Zerion covers 60+ chains including Solana (66 as of September 2026) and says it detects positions across 4,500+ DeFi protocols; it now presents itself mainly as a self-custodial wallet, with a Premium tier that adds real PnL.
Zerion DNA (its NFT identity system) and wallet management features are unique additions. The interface is more beginner-friendly than DeBank, making it ideal for users who want a simple overview without deep protocol-level detail.
Zapper — Multi-chain with built-in DeFi actions
Zapper combines portfolio tracking with DeFi action integration — you can see your positions and also take actions (add/remove LP positions, claim rewards) directly from the Zapper interface. It supports most major EVM chains and protocols. Zapper has been operating since 2020 and is a trusted tool in the DeFi community.

Security note: read-only is safe
All portfolio trackers listed here work by querying public blockchain data using your wallet address. They cannot access your private keys or move your funds — your wallet address is public information visible to anyone on a block explorer. You do not need to connect your wallet or sign any transaction to track your portfolio.
However, be cautious if a portfolio tracker asks you to connect your wallet and sign a transaction or a signature request (as opposed to just entering your address). Some malicious sites posing as portfolio trackers request transaction approvals, or Permit/Permit2 signatures that grant token allowances off-chain, and use them to drain funds. Legitimate trackers only require a wallet address for read-only viewing.
- Bookmark official URLs: debank.com, zerion.io, zapper.xyz
- Never sign transactions or Permit-style signature requests from an unfamiliar portfolio dashboard
- Track multiple wallets to see your full picture across hot and cold wallets
- Set price alerts in Zerion or DeBank to notify you of significant portfolio value changes

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to connect my wallet to a portfolio tracker?
Entering your wallet address (without connecting) is completely safe — your address is public on the blockchain. Connecting your wallet to access additional features is generally safe on established platforms like DeBank and Zerion, provided the only thing you sign is a plain-text sign-in message (such as Sign-In with Ethereum), which just proves you own the address. Warning: not every signature is harmless — off-chain signatures such as ERC-2612 Permit or Uniswap Permit2 can authorise token allowances and transfers without any on-chain approval, and they are a favourite tool of wallet drainers on fake 'portfolio' sites. Never sign a typed-data request that mentions Permit, Permit2, spender, amount or deadline, and never approve token spending on a portfolio tracker.
Do portfolio trackers show unrealised gains and losses?
Yes — tools like DeBank and Zerion show your current portfolio value, your cost basis (if they can determine when you acquired positions), and your unrealised P&L. The accuracy depends on transaction history availability and whether the tracker can correctly identify your entry prices across all protocols and chains.
Can I track a hardware wallet or Gnosis Safe on portfolio trackers?
Yes. Hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor have standard Ethereum addresses visible on-chain. Enter the address into any portfolio tracker to see the full position. Gnosis Safe multisig wallets are also tracked — enter the Safe's contract address, which shows all tokens and DeFi positions held by the multisig.
Why does my DeFi portfolio value differ between DeBank and Zerion?
Differences arise from: different price data sources, whether they include pending/unclaimed rewards in the total, and whether they correctly identify and value complex positions (LP tokens, vesting, locked positions). DeBank is generally more accurate for complex DeFi positions. Significant discrepancies on simple token holdings usually trace to one platform missing a chain or using a stale price feed.
Is there a way to track DeFi positions for tax purposes?
Portfolio trackers are useful for viewing positions but not optimised for tax reporting. For DeFi tax, dedicated tools like Koinly, CoinTracker, or Waltio (UK/EU focus) are better (TaxBit closed its consumer product in 2023) — they import your full transaction history and calculate capital gains, income, and deductible fees. DeBank's history export can feed into some of these tools.
