Transaction Categories
This article helps you understand the transaction categories shown in the product, review synced results, and make any necessary manual corrections before generating reports. Categories describe how a transaction is presented in the app; if a result does not match your actual records, you can adjust it directly in the transaction list.
1. What Transaction Categories Help You Do
- Quickly tell whether a transaction is an incoming transfer, outgoing transfer, trade, fee, or another type
- Filter and review records by category in the transaction list
- Compare category codes with what you see in the UI and exports
- Review confusing transactions before generating reports
- Manually correct records when the automatic result does not look right
2. Where You Can View and Change Categories
- After a sync completes, the system automatically assigns a category to each transaction.
- You can view the current result in the transaction list category column.
- If the result does not match your records, you can manually choose a more appropriate category in the transaction list.
- After a manual change, the record shows a
Manual badge, which means the current result overrides the automatic classification.
- If you want to restore the automatic result, use
Reset Manual and review the record again.

6. What To Do If a Category Looks Wrong
- Open the transaction list and check whether the current automatic category matches your records.
- Prioritize review of swap-like activity, cross-chain transfers, transfers between your own wallets, and
spam-related records.
- If the result looks wrong, choose a more appropriate category in the category column.
- After editing, confirm that the record shows the
Manual badge.
- If you want to undo these manual results, use
Reset Manual to restore automatic classification and review again.
It is usually worth paying extra attention to:
- swap or conversion activity, which often appears as
trade, buy, or sell
- cross-chain records such as
bridge_in and bridge_out
- movement between wallets you control, such as
transfer
- suspicious airdrops, dust assets, or spam tokens, such as
spam
7. Notes and Boundaries
- This article explains how categories are shown and used in the product. It is not personal tax, accounting, or legal advice.
- Category results depend on the transaction data that was synced. If on-chain or exchange data is incomplete, you may need to adjust the result manually.
- English category codes are kept in this document so you can compare them with the UI, exports, or API fields.
- Before generating reports, it is a good idea to finish reviewing categories, especially for large transactions, cross-chain activity, and frequent swaps.
