Yeah, me too. Last year I spent hours digging through wallet apps, sweating over every swap and send. Total nightmare. But exporting your wallet history? It's a game changer. Gets you a clean CSV file with all your sends, receives, fees - everything for taxes, audits, or just seeing where your SOL vanished. Why bother? Taxes eat you alive if you're not ready, and honestly, it's smart to track gains before Uncle Sam knocks.
In my experience, most folks use hot wallets like Exodus, Trust, or MetaMask. No built in export? No sweat - block explorers got your back. And fees? Super low, like 0.000005 ETH gas or zilch on explorers. Let's break it down by wallet. I'll walk you through the easy ones first.
Okay, picture this: you're on your phone, wallet fat with BTC and some meme coins. Exodus makes exporting dead simple. I do it quarterly. Here's how on mobile.
Desktop? Even quicker. Click History, pick portfolio and assets, then menu dropdown: Export All Transactions or specifics. File spits out in an "exodus exports" folder on your desktop. Double click to open in Excel. The thing is, light networks like some L2s only show sends - full history? Hit the block explorer. Sound familiar if you're bridging a ton?
Pro tip: Update permissions on older Android. Otherwise, it glitches. And swaps? They show separate - perfect for tax software.
Now, if you're rocking Blockchain's DeFi Wallet, it's web exclusive. No app nonsense. I usually log in on desktop for this.
Left panel: pick your coin, say Bitcoin. See a Download button right of search? Click it. Dropdown for wallets, set start/end dates - like Jan 1 to now. Hit Generate Report. Wait for green, then Download Report. CSV lands with on chain txns only. Fees? Whatever network gas was, noted per tx.
What's next? Open in Sheets. Columns for date, amount, tx hash. Taxes love it. Issue? Only on chain shows - DeFi swaps might need Etherscan chase.
App users complain sometimes. Switch to web. Cleaner anyway.
Your buddy's on Crypto.com? Tell 'em this. Accounts page, top right History icon - clock with bucks. Export top right.
Exchange separate: Log in, Wallet tab, dates, export all. I pulled mine last week - 0.1% fees on trades show clear. Problem? Big ranges timeout. Split into chunks. Why 3-year cap? Keeps files manageable, under 10k txns easy.
Trust? Annoying, no built in CSV. But BscScan or Etherscan saves the day. I do this monthly for my BNB stuff.
Full history forever on chain. Spam txns? Filter 'em. In my experience, Trust + explorer = flawless taxes.
MetaMask doesn't store history. Blockchain does. Etherscan classic.
etherscan.io, paste ETH address. More top right, Export CSV. Dates, tx types (normal, ERC20, internal). Free. Limits? 5k txns maybe, paginate for more.
Want multi chain? Zerion.io. Search address/ENS, History tab, Export CSV. 38+ EVM chains, spam filter, token prices included. Premium $99/year for unlimited - worth it if you're degen. Pulled 200k txns once, no sweat.
| Method | Chains | Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Etherscan | ETH + tokens | Free | Quick ETH pulls |
| Zerion | 38+ EVM | $99/yr | Multi chain beasts |
| Blockchair | BTC/BCH | Free PDF | Bitcoin maxis |
See? Pick your poison. Blockchair for BTC: address in, Wallet statement, dates, PDF/CSV. Clean gains/losses calc.
Edge app users, gear icon per wallet. Export Transactions, date range, CSV or QBO. Email it. Accurate? Mostly, but double check fees - network gas like 0.00001 BTC.
I export to Google Sheets, sort by date. Boom, ready for Koinly or whatever.
Some wallets ghost you. Use APIs or services, but honestly, explorers first. CoinTracker template? Grab their CSV format - columns like Date, Received Qty, Sent Qty, Fee.
Example buy:
| Date | Rec Qty | Rec Curr | Sent Qty | Sent Curr | Fee Amt | Fee Curr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01/15/2026 14:30:00 | 0.5 | ETH | 1000 | USDC | 0.0005 | ETH |
Transfers: Blank sent for receives. UTC times. Upload to tax tools.
Issues? Huge files crash Excel - split CSVs. UTC confusion? Convert with online tools. Spam? Filter by value > $1.
Koinly, CoinTracker eat CSVs raw. Paste address or upload file. Auto matches 95%. Fees auto pull from chain.
| Desktop | Mobile | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Faster big exports | Quick peeks |
| File Size | Handles 100k+ tx | Cap ~10k |
| Ease | Drag drop | Share to PC |
Desktop wins for volume. Mobile for on the go.
Look, exporting once a month? Habit. Fees negligible - 0.3% on CEX swaps max, chain gas pennies. Got multiple wallets? Consolidate in Sheets: copy paste, unique tx hashes prevent dupes.
BTC.com wallet? Blockchair.com. Address, select BTC/BCH, Download Wallet statement, dates, generate PDF/CSV. Gains calc built in. Perfect for HODLers.
Why PDF? Tax pros love printable. CSV for crunching.
CSV timestamps UTC - adjust for your timezone in Sheets formula: =A2 + (your offset)/24. Swaps count as send+receive - tax tools fix cost basis.
Non EVM like SOL? Solscan.io, same drill: address search, export. Free, ~0.000005 SOL view fee if any.
