This article explains about DeFi tokens in DeFi transactions.
1. What is a DeFi token?
The system references the smart contracts associated with DeFi and determines the underlying coins.
When the system detects a coin in DeFi which is not supported in Cryptact or the coin is supported but Cryptact is missing the price for it, it treats it as a DeFi token and auto-processes the DeFi transaction as "Identified".
▼For your reference: the DeFi Transactions tab
However, because no prices are available for DeFi tokens, even though they are "Identified" in the DeFi Transactions tab, they are "Invalid" in the Transactions tab and are excluded from the PNL calculation.
▼For your reference: the Transactions tab
When you click the relevant transaction, the following message appears.
You can check if a coin is supported or not from here.
If a coin is not supported, searching for the coin name will display "●● is not currently supported" as below.
2. How to fix invalid transactions
