Was deep in the weeds doing some accounting with @rotkiapp and couldn’t figure out why my ETH balances weren’t adding up

Dug into the history and boom! Pages of 2016 DAO whitehat activity. Turns out I was tracking the address I used back then to whitehat attack the DAO. Using mostly some really kind whale's money.

The whitehat hack flowed tons of ETH through attack contracts + the DAO itself. A nightmare for accounting since it looks like you're endlessly bleeding ETH. And ETH given to you from random whale addresses which you end up giving back later. Mixing that with own funds was not smart.

In the end, I had to ignore that address entirely to get sane numbers.

🐦 rotki lets you go that deep.
And damn what a flashback!

Ethereum staking rewards can be messy especially if you’re not building blocks locally.

Most tools trust relayers to tell you the MEV payout.
@rotkiapp doesn’t.

We only trust onchain data. Every single payment you actually receive, even multiple crazy MEV transfers, gets accounted for properly.

Use rotki. It's local. It's accurate. It makes sense.

🐦 Address poisoning is a really sneaky attack that works in confusing you for some UIs but not on @rotkiapp's watch!

As seen in the screenshot we have multiple layers of protection to figure out a transaction is address poisoning:

1. @ensdomains address name resolution. rotki.eth vs 0x953 ... 1306
2. token icon/price for the valid assets
3. Mark asset or transaction as spam. It will disappear from history

With the above tools under your belt you can use rotki to both track your history but also importantly protect yourself.

Use rotki, stay safe!

So I ended up voting for the @ensdomains service providers program.

I owe it to the people who delegated to me and trust me and also to all the projects that took their time to write so many interesting proposals.

All your projects are interesting and I appreciate the effort it took to write the proposals. I don't believe all projects are relevant to the SP program or equally important for the DAO and that is reflected on my voting.

For a detailed breakdown read here:

I have spent the past few weeks reading the @ensdomains service providers proposals and now need to vote on them.

I started thinking about whether I should abstain.

I have nothing to gain and lots to lose by pissing people off by not voting for their projects. Many of whom are also people I know.

Only reason to vote is to not let all that work I put in reading their proposals to waste.

But I really wish we had hidden ballots. I really hate how this has devolved into a game of politics.

Saturday. Made pancakes with my kid, run with the @BerlinBraves and then sat at my computer to keep building this stubborn little app that refuses to phone home

No VC.
No user tracking.

Is the new Pope an ETH maxi or what is happening?

From next @rotkiapp release you will finally be able to send your crypto onchain without actually leaving the app!

A big upgrade you guys have been asking for is finally coming to rotki!

Every time an Ethereum hard fork rolls out smoothly, I’m in awe. So many EIPs, engineering work and yet not even a single hiccup.

It’s a testament to the tireless, global effort of Ethereum core devs. They make hard forks boring, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Thank you.

So how do you consolidate/update to an accumulating validator if your withdrawal address is a @safe?

The launchpad seems to have no @WalletConnect option.

It's quite interesting that to this day 1.15% of all validators still have BLS credentials, which means they have never withdrawn any ETH they gained from staking.

Happy ethereum hard fork day!

Onchain chaos is real. After years of DeFi, NFTs, and trades, who remembers where the focus was?

That’s why we built event analysis in @rotkiapp premium:

Get insights like how much gas was spent, or protocols used per address

Use rotki premium. Unlock your onchain life manager

I’ve got a bunch of @ensdomains names. Keeping track of their expiry dates? Total nightmare.

That’s why @rotkiapp we built a personalized in-app calendar. It scans your history and sets smart reminders for stuff like ENS renewals, CRV unlocks etc.

I use it daily. You should too.

🐦 Use rotki, buy premium and support us in building the portfolio manager that makes your life easer while protecting your privacy.

Into NFTs? Like seeing all your digital art in one place?

@rotkiapp has a beautiful, filterable NFT gallery. Can filter by address, collection, and more and see your entire holdings in a single page.

Use rotki, your comprehensible onchain life manager!

My buddy @yabirgb did some weekend wizardry again. 🧙‍♂️

He realized we could shrink @rotkiapp's DB by ~13% just by refactoring how we store EVM log topics. Essentially moving them to a separate table and indexing them instead of repeating them. Elegant, efficient, and deeply thoughtful work.

This is the kind of engineering care that goes into every rotki release. We craft a bettr tool for you, release by release.

🐦 If you appreciate the privacy-first, local-first portfolio management rotki offers, spread the word and consider supporting us by going premium. That’s how bootstrapped projects like ours thrives and eventually wins!

I often use @aave like an onchain savings account. So I need to know exactly what’s going on: when I earn, how much, and from what.

That’s why I use @rotkiapp.

It shows everything. Deposits, withdrawals, interest earned etc.

Understand and own your data with rotki!

I wanted this feature in @rotkiapp for so long and now it’s almost here.

From the next release, you’ll be able to send ETH and tokens directly from inside the app. No more switching wallets, apps, tabs

rotki will be the place to not only track but also interact with the chain!
