By utilizing a combination of both, we can ensure that all transactions are accurately recorded and imported into your crypto accounting platform. Once the APIs and wallet addresses are connected to the platform, transactions will continue to be imported automatically in the future.

In some cases, we may also require snapshots of wallet balances at period end and centralized exchange statements. This helps us to match token balances at specific period end dates and ensure the accuracy of your records.
