Track Your Portfolio on Zerion: Step by Step Guide.

Okay, so picture this: you fire up Zerion, super excited to see your crypto empire in one spot, but you jump straight to connecting your main wallet without checking if it's on the right chain. Boom. Half your stuff doesn't show up. Ethereum looks empty, Solana's missing, and you're like, "What the hell?" Happens all the time. In my experience, that's the fastest way to frustration.

The right way? Chill for a sec. Hit app.zerion.io first. Or grab the mobile app - iOS or Android, doesn't matter. It'll ask you to pick networks right off the bat. Why does this matter? Zerion pulls from 40+ chains like Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon. Miss that, and you're blind to your full portfolio. Sound familiar?

Getting Your Wallet In There - Super Quick

  1. Go to app.zerion.io in your browser. Or open the app on your phone.
  2. Top right, hit that Connect Wallet button. Boom, options pop up.
  3. Pick MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, Coinbase - whatever you're using. WalletConnect works for most.
  4. Or, easier? Just paste your public address in the search bar. No connection needed. Read only, totally safe. Never share private keys, duh.
  5. Confirm. Watch it load. Tokens, NFTs, DeFi positions - all across chains. Takes like 10 seconds.

Now you're in. See that total balance up top? That's your net worth, USD equivalent, 24h change. Hover the pie chart for breakdowns. Pretty much instant gratification.

Adding Multiple Wallets (The Pro Move)

Don't stop at one. I usually track three: my daily driver, hardware wallet, and a burner for experiments. Here's how.

  • Click the wallet icon top left. Switch or add new.
  • Paste another address. Or scan QR if it's Zerion's own wallet.
  • Mark it with the eye icon - that's "watch wallet." Switch anytime.
  • Mobile app aggregates 'em all. Three wallets? Shows total like $10k easy.

The thing is, this lets you spy on whales too. Paste Toly.sol from Solana's co founder. See his moves, get notified. Copy trading without the risk.

Your Dashboard - Where the Magic Happens

First time I saw it, I was hooked. Clean as hell. Total balance front and center. Price charts for portfolio performance, PnL - profit and loss, realized and unrealized. Shows your average cost basis too. Like, "Hey, you bought ETH at $2,500 avg, now it's up 20%."

Scroll down. Assets list: tokens, staked stuff, liquidity pools. SPL tokens on Solana? Covered. Meme coins? Yep. Stablecoins like USDC, USDT? Perfect. NFTs with floor prices. DeFi positions from Compound, Uniswap - all visualized, colorful breakdowns.

Customize it. Sort by balance, PnL, 24h change. Hide dust. Refresh pulls fresh data. Gas fees? Zerion doesn't charge any for tracking - it's free. Swaps might hit you with 0.3% or network gas, like ~0.000005 ETH on Ethereum, tiny on Solana.

Digging into History and Transactions

History tab. Better than Etherscan, honestly. Pretty timeline of everything - swaps, transfers, stakes. Filter by token, protocol, type. Search addresses. Export CSV for taxes? One click. Partners with TokenTax if you need pro help.

Potential issue: long history loads slow first time. Solution? Just wait 20 seconds or filter early. Mobile? Push notifications for new txns. No more refreshing like a maniac.

Explore Tab - Finding New Opportunities

Okay, this one's underrated. Top liquidity pools, yield farms, best DeFi rates. Trending tokens by market cap. Sets - like curated baskets. Click in, see APYs. For Solana, spots meme coins and stables quick.

I use it daily. "What's hot on Base?" Boom, list. Why bother? Spots rotations before they moon. But don't FOMO - check your PnL first.

Mobile App - Track on the Go, No BS

Download Zerion app. Step one: import web wallet via QR or paste address. Add read only ones. Track Bankless templates like stable.zerion.eth - 60% stables, 40% pools. Or defimax for high risk DeFi bets.

  1. Open app. Hit + for new wallet.
  2. Scan QR from web or paste.
  3. Add watchlists: multisigs, traders.
  4. Notifications: price alerts, txn confirms, whale moves.
  5. Explore trending pools right there.

Pro tip: buy SOL or ETH direct in app. No exchange hassle. Gas? Minimal, like 0.00001 SOL per txn.

Solana Specifics - Because It's Blazing Fast

SpeedSub second updatesNo lag like old trackers

ExportsCSV for taxesFull txn history
Multi chainSOL + ETH + 40 othersOne app, no jumping

Solana's my side hustle chain. Zerion nails it - tracks LP positions, stakes. Paste address, done. Better than web explorers for real performance views.

Issue? Rare long tail tokens glitch. Fix: refresh or check Solscan manually, then re add.

DeFi and NFTs - Don't Sleep on This

Zerion shines here. DeFi: lending on Compound (rates like 1.6% on DAI), borrowing from Maker. Liquidity on Uniswap, Bancor - one txn adds. Shows risks too, like impermanent loss.

NFTs: collections with valuations, floors. Track your apes or punks. PnL on flips.

In my experience, stacking protocols gets messy fast. Zerion un messes it. Aggregates savings, rewards, pools. See how Compound + Uniswap stack for passive income.

Customizing and Alerts - Make It Yours

  • Dashboard tweaks: Pin favorites, hide chains.
  • Watchlists: Friends' wallets, team multisigs.
  • Alerts: "Notify if ETH drops 5%," "Ping on whale buy."
  • Performance: 7d, 30d, all time charts.

What's next? Set a price alert on your biggest holding. Sleep better.

Troubleshooting - When Shit Hits the Fan

Wallet not loading? Check internet, VPN off. Chains not syncing? Toggle networks in settings. Balances wrong? Wait for refresh - orcs sometimes lag 1min on high traffic.

Mobile sync issues? Re scan QR. Still busted? Clear cache, restart app. Gas for swaps high? Wait for L2 like Base - fees ~$0.01.

Taxes stressing you? Export CSV, done. No 1099 needed - it's your data.

Advanced Tricks I Swear By

Track competitors. Paste their addresses, watch trades. API for devs - pull data to your sheets.

Multi wallet aggregate: three bags? Total PnL across 'em. I run HODL wallet + trade wallet + NFT flipper. One view.

Yield hunt: Explore tab → top pools → filter >10% APY. But yeah, DYOR on risks.

Honestly, after a week, you'll ditch other trackers. It's that sticky.

Daily Routine - How I Use It
