First steps with our app made easy.
DeFi Overview app was created to provide introduction into world of decentralized finance. It opens world of different finacial tools, which were originally accessible only to few people, to everyone. It gives you lot of opportunities, but it demands some degree of responsibility from you too, to prevent losing all your funds.
As the times flew, the app was extended with more general crypto currency topics, like news aggregator, exchange overviews, portfolio tracking, address tracking, and many others.
The main goal was not changed. We still want to bring you the useful tool, which provides you the latest DeFi updates, interesting stats, but we also try to be simple knowledge aggregator for newcomers into crypto currency space. We tried to collect all useful information about crypto currencies, DeFi and show it at one place. Due to this, the app might look like too heavy. Even we tried to do our best, not all features might be obvious.
For that reason, we come up with this guide. You do not need to read it all, if you see topic which is interesting, just click on it in the table of content on the left. We hope it will help you to understand possibilities, which this app brings and it will be one of the useful tools for your DeFi and crypto currency adventure.
You are using the app at your own risk. It is in development and you should consider it as experimantal app.
Home section is the first screen you will see after running the application. It is divided into 3 sections: Watchlist, Coin List, Fees, and Investments. From thess screen you can track your favorite or most valued coins with their basic info.
Watchlist is customizable list for simple tracking of coins you are interested in and it shows basic stats and price info.
For first run you can find a few pre-seleted coins here. You can maintain the list - add or remove coins as you wish.
List is sorted by the market cap by default.
You have two options how to add coin into your watchlist. First is through Coin Detail screen. Second is selecting coins from Coin List. You can see both options described bellow. As first option we show how to use serch bar together with Coin Detail:
Second option is selecting coins directly from Coin List. You can use it in case when you are interested in coins with higher market cap, since the list is ordered by its value.
Process of removing coin from your watchlist is the same as adding. You can choose either to use Coin Detail
or the Coin List approach.
The only difference is that the deselected coin should change the star color from yellow to transaprent. As it is shown on
following pictures:
Coin List section brings overview of the curypto currency market. You can search for coins with search panel
by entering coin name or its symbol (i.e. "Bitcoin" or "BTC"). It has the same funcionality as on the
Watchlist screen.
Market stats are shown below the search panel, such as Total market cap or
Coin Dominance in total market cap (share on the market cap). It is horizontal list,
if you swipe to the left you can see whole top ten projects.
You can list crypto currenceies by value of their Market cap or trading Volume
in last 24 hours. Swipe left or right on the list to see desired sorting.
If you tap on any item from coin list, you can get to the Coin Detail. As described in
Watchlist - Add coin, you can edit yor watchlist from here by tapping on the star icon .
Each item from the list then show data as: rank in market cap, logo and name, date of last data update,
current price and price change in last 24h, volume in last 24h and current value of market cap.
Data is fetched from Coingecko.
We offer option to see recently most trending crypto currencies on Coingecko. To see them follow steps described on pictures bellow.
You can see sorted list by Market Capitalization of each crypto curreny or by its trading Volume in last 24 hours.
Fees screen has two sections. First is Network, which shows price of transaction fees on different networks. Second shows
what was the value of fees in last 24 hours by netwoks and Crypto projects.
Network fees shows what is expected price per gas unit or Byte in case of Bitcoin. You can switch between networks
by tapping on on the newtwork icon, which you want to see.
Crypto project shows how much users paid for usage of the network or the crypto project, such as DeFi applications, in last
24 hours.
If you want to see more details about fees spend by users for using any Crupto project from list, just tap on the project and you will
be redirecte to the screen with the Crypto project fee detail.
Data is fetched from ZapperFi, CryptoFees
and Bitcoiner.live.
Network fees are shown in price per unit. Ethereum and other EVM (Ethereum virtual machine)
related networks set their price per gas in gwei. Final price of yor transaction
is set by units of gas * price of gas unit in gwei.
Bitcoin network works differently, there is shown price per Byte.
Final price per transaction is defined by size of transaction in Bytes.
To change network fees info, tap on the on of the network icon. Ethereum network is selected by default with highlighted background. To
see info about another network, follow next steps:
Detail screen provide basic info about the Crypto project and about the fees it generated. It is divided into a few parts, where you can find info about the project such as:
Investment section brings overview of diferent investing products related to crypto currencies. It is divided into two parts: Derivatives and Indexes. Derivatives introduces crypto currency related products such as futures, or assset backed derivatives. Indexes part brings investing tools, which usually contains basket of multiple products related to crypto currency. Data is fetched from Coingecko.
Derivatives List brings you fresh data about crypto curreny derivatives products, collected from Coingecko.
This list provides overview of current state of derivatives products provided by different services and it is not customizable
in any way.
There is self explanatory legend on the top of the screen, which describes data shown per item.
As you can see, there is data as name of the product, name of the service which offers the product,
last time it was traded, etc.
If you want to know more info about derivatives products, please, visit the service/exchange directly. We do not privde more
data in the app for now.
Indexes List brings you fresh data about crypto curreny indexes products, collected from Coingecko.
This list provides overview of current value of index products provided by different services and it is not customizable
in any way.
There is self explanatory legend on the top of the screen, which describes data shown per item.
As you can see, there is data as name of the product, name of the service which offers the product,
last traded price, or type of the index.
If you want to know more info about listed indexes products, please, visit the service/exchange directly. We do not privde more
data in the app for now.
Coin Detail section tries to aggregate all usefull information about the coin on one place. It is common struggle for new users
to get valid information about crypto projects.
Unfortunatelly many people fall into the trap of different influencers and
promoted scams. We tried to filter these garbages and use relevant data sources such as Coingecko and Messari and put them together.
Coin Detail is divided into 5 sections: Graph, Info, Metrics,
Tickers and Rates. Each section has commont part, which is the price panel on the top
of the screen.
To move between different sections, just tap on the icon of the section (i.e. to visit
Metrics). If you want to return back to previous the screen, tap on the arrow in the top left corner.
Price panel contains market related data such as highes and lowest price in last 24 hours, current/last price, current value of market cap
and volume of trades on exchanges in last 24 hours.
You can minimize this panel, if you tap on it, to see only current price. if you Want to extend it, you need to click on the panel again.
Graph section is quite simple. It contains common price panel and menu as described above. You can
find horizontal list of time periods under the menu. You can slide from left to ride to see all time period options to track.
Selecting of time period will reload data and update price chart combined together with market cap chart. It will reload volume
bar chart below also.
If you want to see exact numbers in chart, just tap on the chart and slide with your fingers to the desired place. It will show
semi-transparent popup with detailed info, as shown on pictures below. It works for both charts, price and volume.
Info section gives you more detailed description of the crypto project you are exploring. Data is fetched from the
Messari.
The first panel you can notice is the zoom panel. You can set the scale of the font size to be smaller
or bigger .
The info itself is then divided into following parts:
Summary
Short description to get basic idea about the project.
Overview
Key parameters and main properties of the project.
Background
Detailed info about history and description of the project.
Resources
Links to related websites i.e. homepage, whitpaper or social networks.
Here in Metrics section we combine data provided from Messari and Coingecko. You can find here market data, data from blockchain, minig stats or develepment info. Metrics are divided into following blocks:
Tickers section shows list of markets throught different exchanges, which offer markets with given coin. Data is fetched from
Coingecko service.
It is a little bit different from
Opportunities in Exchange section, where we explore orderbooks
directly.
Tickers are sorted by reported volume by exchange. However some volumes might be faked due to
wash trading. Coingecko
tries to indicate suspicious activity and rank reliability given markets.
The colored dot in each item them shows how healthy/valid the market is.
means healthy, indicates some suspicious activity and
shows you should rather stay away.
Each ticker contains: the mentioned health indicator, logo and name of the exchange, date and time
when data was udpated. On the right side, you can find the market name, where the given asset is traded, last price
of executed exchange and reported volume of the given market in last 24 hours.
Rate section, as the name says, shows current exchange rates against other assets or currencies. Exhange rates are fetched from
Coingecko.
There are 2 text fields, where you can type any amount you would like to see converted into other asset value. It does not matter which
one you choose to fill. The value is automatically converted into second one immediately.
You can see exchange rate list under these text fields. There are other assets with the converted value into their units.
These assets are grouped into categories, which you can change by swiping to the left/right or by taping on the left
or on the right button.
If you would like to change default asset in the second text field (first is static and non-changable), just click on desired
asset (i.e. Silver - Troy Unce) from the list below the label 'Converted values'. When you tap on the asset, it will become
immediately the asset for the second text field.
DeFi section introduces projects participating in the field of Decentralized Finance and shows the value, which each
project holds - Total Valule Locked (TVL). The TVL shows how much users deposited into the project.
For these who are not familiar with Decentralized Finance, we can recommend websites as
DeFi Rate, DeFi Pulse
or DeFi Prime as good source of information.
In short, DeFi stands for Decentralized Finance, which aims to provide known financial tools in decentralized manner. It means
it focuses to make these tools censorship resistant and accessible to everyone.
It brings advantages as freedom to use tools, which you might not access before, no need for KYC/AML verifications with option to
these tools 24/7 without need of any middleman.
On the other hand, it demands some responsibility form your side to use these products carefuly and to be aware of risks as smart
contract exploits, if the application is not secured enough, or exit scams.
DeFi section is divided into three sub-sections: Overview, Locked Value
and Services. You can find more about them in dedicated sections.
The Overview section shows us how the TVL of whole DeFi system is distributed between projects. We offer the option to fetch the
data from two sources: DeFi Llama and
DeFi Pulse. You can switch between them, if you tap on the dedicated
logo, with Llama for DeFi Llama (top left corner) data or with letter 'D' (top right corner) to get DeFi Pulse data.
Curently selected data source is highlighted with cloured logo.
The Overview screen contains Pie chart with the distribution of value among the DeFi projects. The total value can be found in the
middle of the Pie chart, under the label 'Total value in DeFi'.
If you are interested in value locked in single project, you can tap
on the project in the Pie chart. Then it will be highlighted together with displayed value in the middle of the chart. Another
option is to look it up in the Legend area, if you scroll down.
If you would like to check locked value by category of the listed projects, you can switch the tab to the 'Categories' which is
located directly under the Pie chart. You can swith between 'Projects' and 'Categories' overview as you wish.
The same as for projects can be applied for categories, too. If you would like to see value locked in single category,
you can tam on the Pie chart, or you can look the value up in the Legend list.
We offer you to get DeFi stats from two different sources. For now, DeFi Llama supports more blockchains and projects, on the other hand, DeFi Pulse tries to bring even more info such as descriptions and audit reports.
To see data per single projet, you can scroll down in Legend list. More comfortable might be to use Pie chart directly, with tap on the desired project in the chart. However some project holds a little value and might not be visible on the Pie chart. In that is it better to use the Legend list.
You can switch between DeFi projects and DeFi categories to see, which field attracts the most value (lending markets, DEXes, etc). Again you can choose if you want to see DeFi Llama or DeFi Pulse Data.
If you are interested in how it goes with Locked Value in DeFi in different time periods, this is the place for you.
Thanks to the data from DeFi Llama and
DeFi Pulse, you can track the value
locked per asset, such as ETH, BTC, DAI (currently only with DeFi Pulse) or you can track the total value, sum of all assets
(supported by both, DeFi Llama and DeFi Pulse).
This section contains graph area, where you can track the movemen of locked value in time. To get detailed info about
value from grah, you can tap on the line and semi-transparent popup with data will be shown.
It is the same behavior as in Coin Detail - Graph. If you want to hide the popup, just tap on it.
There is also DeFi Pulse logo in top right corner, if you would
like to check the source of data.
To change the tracked period, just tap on any od the option from horizontal list located below the graph, i.e. 'Max', which
will show how the value evolved since the inception.
Last part is legend to the grah. Here you can set, which assets or if (Total Value Locked) TVL, should be displayed in the
graph above. You can selet multiple options.
We offer you to get DeFi stats from two different sources. For now, DeFi Llama supports more blockchains and projects but supports tracking of the total value only, on the other hand, DeFi Pulse brings tracking both, of single assets and the total value.
This option is curently available only for DeFi Pulse data, because it tracks multiple assets locked in the DeFi space. To see how to adapt the graph, see the pictures below:
In this part we tried to collect most interesting DeFi projects across different blockchains. We try to bring
overview of DeFi or DeFi related services, which you can try or follow, on different platforms.
Projects are divided into categories, such as Decentralized exchanges, Lending services, Investing tools, Tutorials and
many others. You can switch between categories with simple swipe (left/right) or by tap on the left
or on the right button.
Each project contains short description to give you basic idea about it. You can see the detail, if you tap on the project
from the list. Then the detail popup window will be opened. There is the description and useful links, such as homepage of the service or
link to its twitter profile.
We try to maintain this list and keep it updated. If you will find there any suspicious projects, please, let us know to
re-evaluate it.
To see more info about any DeFi project from the list, just tap on it s record and popup window with details will be displayed, as shown on following pictures:
News sections aims to provide recent news to the user. However, there are many news sources in many languages. Thus we decided to
give you an option to create own news feed from selected news sources in the My News subsection.
Unfortunatelly (or fortunatelly), crypto currency space and DeFi itself is very dynamic field, and it is worthy to
keep an eye on social media, where most of the recent events is discussed or announced.
Therefore we came up with idea to track most used social networks in the crypto currency world, Reddit and Twitter. More details
can be found in Social Networks part.
Last, but definetly not least, is the section of CoinGecko Beam. In this section you can find announcements
directly from dev teams.
This section allows to users build up their own custom feed of news from their favorite news portals. If you want to edit
the list of tracked news sources, please, check the Add news sources to the news feed.
Articles from selected sources are collected and displayed together in the feed, ordered by the publishing time in descend order
(from newest to oldest).
It is possible to combine multiple sources in different languages in your feed. More about that can be found in
Add news sources to the news feed.
Each article in your feed is link to original artile on its website. If you want to see original article, tap on the article you
want to read and you will be redirected there.
Adding news sources is very similar to adding coins into the watchlist, described in a Add coins. You have two options how to add news source into your feed. First is from the news feed source list described in Step 4 below. Second is from the news source detail shown in Step 6. You can remove the news source from your feed in the same way.
The aim of this sections is to bring the current and hottest topics from social networks. Currently we track 2 social networks,
which we believe are the most used for crypto currency and for DeFi -
Twitter and Reddit.
You can select the social network, which you want to check, on the top of the screen from the drop down. When you select the network, the
app will try to fetch latest posts and show them from the newest to the oldest.
For the Reddit option we check the most used subreddits, such as:
r/CryptoCurrency,
r/defi and
r/ethfinance. All shown items in the list are links to the original
posts.
Twitter option tracks tweets and re-tweets of our two accounts:
@CryptoCrabApp1 - developer account, where we share news about latest updates
and releases
@DefiOverview - community account, where we share news about our app, DeFi news
and other news related to the crypto currencies.
Each item contains basic info such as: twitter username or subreddit, posted message and picture, publishing date, likes and retweets or upvotes.
If you want to see more details, tap on the item from the list and you will be redirected to the original post.
CoinGecko beam section tracks announcements directly from dev teams through CoinGecko Beam
service.
Announcements of all connected projects are loaded by default. However, you can filter the news by crypto currency project.
To filter announcements, type the name or code into the search field. Tap on the on the search button
or on any option from drop down (the same as searching coins in Add coin). If inserted coin has any announcements,
they will be shown in the list.
Announcements are sorted from the newest to the oldest. Each announcement contains basic info, such as:
Project name and logo,
Type of announcement,
Publishing time,
Description of the anounncement,
Person who released the announcement.
This section introduces services, which offers you different ways, how to buy or sell crypto currency. It is divided into four
parts.
First section is Live Price, which shows current mood of the market and streams live prices from some
exchanges.
Second section shows Exchanges, where you can exchange your assets or currency based on offers
in the orderbook.
Third part is introducing Services. As a service you can imagine middleman providers, who do the trade
for you on the exchange with some fee, or peer to peer marketplaces, where people can exchange directly between them.
Last section is called Opportunities. This section is different from previous, and it should provide you
special features, such as finding the best rate to buy or sell your asset, or opportunities for arbittrage tradings.
We offer you to get DeFi stats from two different sources. For now, DeFi Llama supports more blockchains and projects but supports tracking of the total value only, on the other hand, DeFi Pulse brings tracking both, of single assets and the total value.
We offer you to get DeFi stats from two different sources. For now, DeFi Llama supports more blockchains and projects but supports tracking of the total value only, on the other hand, DeFi Pulse brings tracking both, of single assets and the total value.
Exchange screen provides list of pre-selected exchanges. This list might be changed into customizable
watchlist, as it is done with coins, in the future (not supported now).
Each exchange item contains Name and logo of the exchange, markets,
Twitter link and Hompage link.
You can search for other exchanges through the search panel on the top of the screen.
To see detail of the exchange, tap on the item from the list, or use the search field.
Tap on the search button
or on any option from drop down to go to the Detail screen of the exchange (as in Add coin).
Detail screen shows basic data about the exchange, such as country, where it is based, year, when it was founded, or
total reported volume through all markets it provides. There is also 'Visit' button, which redirects you to the hompage of the exchange.
Data is provided by Coingecko.
Below the info widget you can find list with available markets. Markets are sorted by reported volume from highest to the lowest.
Each market show asset-market pair, last traded price, percentage value of spread in the orderbook, reported volume in
volume in last 24h and indicator of trust for reported volume:
Trustful,
Suspicious,
Fake.
As stated in the intro, services provides option to buy or sell crypto currencies, excluding direct trades on exchanges.
It could be ATM service or gateway providers, which executes trades on exchange seamlessly for you with, but you will be charged extra
fee by the service.
Other type of services are peer to peer marketplaces, where you can deal directly with other people.
You can find here list of most known crypto services. If you would like to see more details, tap on the desired
service to open popup with more details.
Popup window with details contains short description of the service, link to the homepage of the service and link to the Twitter page.
Opportunities is special feature, which should help users to find the best rates for trading. Data is cached,
thus real time data on the exchange might be slightly different.
Opportunities are different from Exchange overview, in the way it accesses exchages
directly to read their orderbooks rather than the last traded price.
This might have impact on less liquid markets with higher spread in orderbooks (bigger difference between asks
and bids) and provide bad results, if we compare last traded price.
Please, double check all suggested opportunities before you will execute trades. Data is cached and exchange data might be slightly different. Be careful with your funds.
Opportunity has many parameters. On the following pictures below you can see step by step guide, how to set them to get data you look for.
Application does not make any trades itself. It provides only overview of opportunities.
If you select ARITRAGE type in Set params section, you will get result list of all possible
arbitrage tradings with expected profits (arbitrage opportnities with expected loses are not displayed).
And what is the arbitrage trading? It means trading assets on the same market but in different exchanges, where you
exploit differences in price. Basicaly it means you can buy the asset on one exchange and sell on other with profit.
More info can be found on Investopedia.
Opportunities shown in the result list are sorted by expected profit from the highest to the lowest.
Each item shows exchange where to sell the asset on the left and where to buy the asset on the right.
The exchange info contains name and logo, market, the best price from the orderbook converted to selected currency and
the price in the market currency/asset.
To see detail of individual arbitrage opportunity, tap on any record in the oportunity list. It will show popup with information
about markets involved into the arbitrage opportunity.
The detail shows expected profit and both markets, buy market info and sell market info. It sums arbitrage info and shows market details as ticker - basic data about the market, such as: highest and lowest price in last 24 hours, last executed price, current ask and bid from orderbook and reported volume.
Buy opportunities shows the best rates to buy asset on exchanges selected during the Set params process. On the top of the screen is widget with global stats, reported by CoinGecko, thus you can easily compare shown results with global value.
Opportunities are sorted from best price to the worst. Each item contains basic data about the recommended
market.
Data is sorted into 3 columns. The first contains exchange name, logo and time when the data was fetched.
Second column contains labels for values in third column. These values are market/asset descripton,
converted best buy price, best buy price in market currency, asset volume, volume in converted currency.
To see detail of individual buy opportunity, tap on any record in the list. It will show popup
with data about the market.
The detail shows detai about the exchange and info about the suggested buy opprotunity with converted price into selected currency. Furthermore, you can find there market data as the ticker - basic data about the market, such as: highest and lowest price in last 24 hours, last executed price, current ask and bid from orderbook and reported volume.
Sell opportunity works exactly in the same way as Buy opportunity. Please, check the Buy opportunity and Set params, where all necesary steps are described and explained.
Portfolio section tracks the performance and values of assets in your holdings. You can
create multiple portfolios with multiple assets.
Portfolio is divided into 4 sections. You can switch between existing portfolios from each
of these sections. Sections are following:
Overview
Overview shows overall value of the portfolio and list of each asset with its value. You can switch
to the asset detail screen or use some action buttons to adapt and manage your portfolio.
Split
Coin split shows diversification of your portfolio. You can see total value of the selected portfolio
and contribution to it per each asset via Pie chart.

One of the most used financial tool nowadays are loans. DeFi opened doors for lending money without
any middleman, relying on the smart contract only. It brings smart contract risks into the game. Thus
you should be really careful with these projects. On the other hand it brings opportunity to anyone to get to
the loan, without need to provide KYC/AML data.
The rise of DeFi brought another type of projects, known as Open Finance. They are not necessarily decentralized,
but they offer similar services of loans with your crypto used as collateral. Or you can provide liquidity into
the project and earn interest on your funds, similar to saving account.
This section introduces DeFi and Open Finance Services, which provide loans. You can find here
their products, their brief description and useful links.
Then you cand find here Assets section, which compares lending services per asset. You can find the best
service for the asset you want to lend, or you want to earn on.
Last part is CodeFi. For now, this works as link to the
CodeFi website. This project is developed under
Consensys and provides bunch of tools, such as CodeFi data
with ranking system of DeFi porjects.
Double check the rate on the service official webpage before you will use it. It could happen that rates might differ due to cached values or because of processing in data provider (such as different rates for user tiers etc.)
Service screen shows overview of products on the lending market per service. You can select the service you are interested in from
the drop down on the top of the screen.
There is info line below the drop down. There is group of icons on the lef side and in the case the project has its own blog, there
is link button 'Blog', which redirects you to the blog.
If you tap on the info icon - , popup with details will be shown. Other icons shows it the project is
considered as decentralized or centralized. Last icon is shown if the project is trustworthy, by community and tested by us.
Then you can see markets which were found for selected service.

sort the list markets by name, borrow rate or supply (erning) interest rate. Each item then shows, when the data was updated.
If you tap on the market, it will redirect you to the homepage of the project.
Detail popup itself contains brief info and description about the project and link to the project homepage.
This section provides overview of lending markets through tracked lending services. It is different from Services,
where you can track markets only in selected service.
Select the asset, which you would like to compare through lendning markets, from the drop down. Application will reload
and update the list of services automatically.
If you would like to see detailed info about the asset, tap on the button 'Detail', which redirects you to the Coin detail.
Markets are sorted by their name by default. But you can re-sort them by name, or by borrow rate or supply (earning) interest rate.
Each market item contains its name and logo, date when it was updated, info icons and borrow rate and supply (earning)
interest rate. If you tap on the market, it will redirect you to the homepage of the project.
Codefi is a suite of data and analytics solutions for the investment ecosystem by Consensys. It provides multiple analytic
tools focused on crypto currencies. In our case we will focus on DeFi tool. Because it works as simple link for now, let us
briefly introduce the service itself.
DeFi Score is a single, consistently comparable value for measuring platform risk, based on
factors including smart contract, centralization and financial risk. It ranks each market (pools) listed in different projects
on scale 0-10 (worst-best) based on diffetent metrics. For more info check the official
web.
Compare compares statistics of chosen asset across DeFi
projects. There are multiple metrics you can compare, such as historical yield, liquidity, etc. For more info check the official
web.
Inspect is an open source project dedicated to protocol transparency in DeFi, tracking
all public audits, admin key details, oracle dependency and on-chain activity. For more info check the official
web.
This section should serve as knowledge base for new comers. It aggregtes useful sources if you want to start with crypto currencies.
Books section is focused, surprisingly, on books. you can find here books focused more on
economic part, while others are more technical. You can compare these books and check them in online shops.
Events provides an overview on conferences and meetups focused on blockchain technology and crypto
currencies. You can compare upcoming events and check their details.
Academy provides list of courses and articles focused on crypto currencies, underlying technology or event
trading. Currently we use two data sources, Binance Academy and BlockGeek.
This section brings list of most famous books for understanding crypto currencies. We tried to handpick most relevant books,
even some might be a little bit older.

Originally we wanted to introduce overview of existing walleta apps here. But during the time we extended
this section with more features. It is divided into 3 parts:
My Wallets section let you create and maintain your own offline wallets.
Tracking section let you track current balances of tracked addresses.
Wallets section introduces exiting wallet applications and divide them into categories.
You are using the app at your own risk. Always backup addresses generated in the app, if you will not have backup (file or private key), you might lose all your funds.
The main goal of this setion was to give an easy way how to create wallet for new users,
which came into the crypto currency world. The idea was inspired by walletgenerator.net*.
It let users generate offline paper wallet, which might be later imported into any compatible wallet.
First version was focused on Ethereum only. But we extended supported blockchains, since they are forked (~cloned)
from Ethereum. Curently we support in alphabetical order:
Binance Smart Chain,
Ethereum,
Ethereum Classic,
Icon,
Klaytn and
Tron.
Created wallets in our app should be compatible with all available wallets, which allow you to import
private key or account/wallet file. It means you are able
to use addresses, created in here, in other wallets if you will want to.
You can import address from other wallets to have them in the app, too. You can import the
private key or account/wallet file. You can use it as back up
and set it for tracking in Tracking section.
* - the project was not maintained for some time and recently is even reported as phising site - be careful if you will visit it.
All available functions and featrues are described in dedicated sections. To give you a brief overview, we are going to
describe how to create brand new wallet. Then we will introduce options how to
import already existing wallets.
We will show how to delete wallets from your list of your wallets and what you are
allowed to do on wallet detail screen.
Then we will show how to backup wallets you generated. We will show how to
sign messages with private key and how to add your wallet to the
watchlist to see current balance on the chain.
In this section we present the step by step guide how to create new wallet. Follow pictures bellow with descriptions to new create wallet.
In the case you have already generated wallet and you would like to import it into the DeFi Overview app,
you have two options how to achieve it. First is importing wallet file. Most of wallet
wallet applications allow you to export wallet file for backup (so does DeFi Overview). It is usually mor secure
then releaving private key.
The second option is the private key mentioned above. It is the easiest way, but you
be very careful with it. If anyone will get access to your private key, i.e. reading clipboard memory, that person
will get access to your funds stored in the wallet. Try to avoid sharing of your private keys. If you need to do it,
it is better then to transfer your funds into another address.
In this section we present the step by step guide how to import existing wallet from file. Follow pictures bellow with descriptions to add your wallet into the app.
In this section we present the step by step guide how to import existing wallet with your Private Key. Follow pictures bellow with descriptions to add your wallet into the app.
In this section we present the step by step guide how to delete a wallet from your wallet list.
Follow pictures bellow with descriptions to add your wallet into the app.
Be aware that deleting without wallet backup will lead to loss your your funds! Be sure you backed up
wallet file or the private key of the wallet.
Detail screens shows basic info about the wallet and let you perform some basic actions with your wallet.
Widget on the top o the screen shows basic data as name of your wallet, which you can change,
address of the wallet and private key. You can copy the address to the memory if you tap on the
copy button next to it. You can also generate QR code of your address,
if you tap on the QR code icon next to copy buton.
Private key is encrypted by default, if you wnat to reveal it, you have to unlock the wallet with
your password. You can do it, if you tap on the eye icon under the address. Then you
can use similar buttons to copy the private key or to generate its QR code, as will be described in
Export Private Keys.
Explorer section is right undert the wallet widget. If you want to track the address throught different explorers
you can select any from the menu. There is even option to use Address Tracking feature which, combine
some explorers together.
Action section allows you to perform two actions. Export the wallet into the file,
or delete the wallet (if you do not have backaup, access to your fund will be lost forever).
Advanced sections is focudes on signatures. First feature is signing any message with your private key. It can be used to verify ownership of the addresss by you and proving you signed the message. Second fetaure for signing offline transactions was not implemented yet. It is postponed for futher versions after the first stable release.
You can traack your address to follow current balance on the chain through the Tracking feature. The Tracking feature has its own dedicated section, in here we are going to show only how to add your generated wallet into the tracking list.
This sections shows how to export you public address to receive payments and how to export your private key or wallet file, to be able to back up your wallet and to be able to import the wallet into other wallet applications.
There are systems which asks you to insert your address directly if you want to receive any funds. On the other hand some can ask for QR code of your address to scan it. You can use both from our app. See the step by step guide bellow.
You should be very careful, when you manipulate with primary key. Once some is able to highjack it, he person has access to your funds. Be very careful when you use your private key.
Exporting the wallet file is safer option how to export your wallet. DeFi overview enforces you to use password to encrypt the wallet, thus the password is needed if you want to access the wallet from the file. Following pictures shows step by step guide to export your wallet into the wallet file.
Signing is part of Advanced menu in the Detail screen. Currently there is implemented only support to sign message with your Private Key, however it is considered to add option to sign offline transactions. It will be decided later if this feature will be implemented (we would like to, but currenctly it seems there is need for more educational text to be written from our side to prevent some failures).
One of the basic functions of Private-Public Key cryptography is signing messages to verify ownership or to identity (authentication). We offer option to sign any text message with your Private Key to verify it was really signed by you. Follow the step by step guide below how to make it.
This feature is not implemented yet. It will be decided further, if it will be included, it will depend on users feedback.
Traking section brings opportunity to track your funds on chain. You can create your own track list of
addresses accross different blockchain to be able to track current balances, recent transactions or
positions in DeFi projects.
Curently we support following chains in alphabetical order:
Binance Smart Chain,
Ethereum,
Ethereum Classic,
Icon,
Klaytn and
Tron.
In following chapters we introduce step by ste guide how to maintain and use this feature. First we show
how to add address into the track list. Then we will explain how to use each part,
as Balance, Transactions or DeFi section.
To be able to track addresses, you need to add some into the track list. How to do it shows following stp by step guide with pictures.
When the address is added, you can edit its name, copy the address into memory, display the QR code, or just track balances or recent activity, as described in following sections.
Tracking section is divided into 3 parts: Balances, Transactions and DeFi. However all these sections share
common address widget. You can find here name of the address and edit button ,
to edit the name.
Then there is address itself and current balance in app currency (can be set in Settings). Last
line of the widget contains 3 buttons, whic we call action buttons:
Follow the step by step guide below how to maintain and use this manage and use the address widget.
Balances screen show current state of funds on the address. We use different data providers for each network. For some blockchains, there are even
combination of data from different blockchain explorers.
You can see the address on these explorers when you tap on the icon of the explorer, located
on the right next to label 'Balances by:'
Each token balance shows the amount of tokens and total value of them (in currency set in Settings).
Supported balances of token area currently for:
Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Icon, Tron
Currently we do not support token balances, but only native tokens (due to API limitations), for:
Binance Smart Chain, Bitcoin, Klaytn
Transactions screen shows latest transactions connected with the address.
If you want to see whole history, you can tap
on the blockchain explorer on the right next to label 'Balances by:' which redirects you to the explorer website.
To see detail of the transaction, tap on the transaction record. The transaction widget will expand and shows more
details about it.
To hide details, tap on the expanded transaction record. Transaction records have detailed description, so it is understendable
what info is shown.
But to make it clear, signs confirmed transaction, signs pending transaction and signs failed transaction. When transaction is not expanded, it shows two values such as: TRANSFERED_AMOUNT (PAID_FEE).
DeFi secion lists all supported DeFi projects on the given network. You can check the address per project, if there are any funds stored.
We did not find any common reliable API, so we divided these project into groups depending how we get data:
DIRECT:
Access data directly API provided by the project or our custom API.
GRAPH:
Access data via graph protocol, unfortunately some lack of documentation, so we do not use it as much as we planed.
LINK:
Unfortunately for some projetcs there were no simple public APIs and some are in queue to be added,
thus we list them only with links to their homepage.
If you want to open the DeFi project, tap on the project and you will be redirected to it. If the project is not from LINK category,
app will display collected data as shown in following section.
This sreen might look different for each project. ISt is based on the product the selected project offers. In genereal there is template
with summary widget about the service and total value of deposited funds.
This widget contains name and categor of selected DeFi service and info button to show popup with
brief info. Then there should be info about total value, network/blockchian and the address, which is investigated.
As the last element is link button . This will show popup with links with websites related to the project,
such as the homepage, blog or the social networks profile of the DeFi project.
Under the summary widget there might be aggregated APY widget, if the service offers loans, dividends or yield farming. It should show the
accumulated APY across products you decided use as expected percentage value and as expected profit value in fiat currency.
Finally there is list of products with their details. This might be different per project, but in general, it shoud show the amount of
assets in your holding, its value and and its price change in last 24h in percentage.
There are only few activities, you can find on the detail screen, follow the step by step guide bellow to get familiar with them.

When you tap on any wallet from the list, popup with details will be shown. The popup contains link buttons to web pages realted
to the wallet and brief description as shown on the picture on the right.
DAppp section introduces Decentralized Applications - DApps. These aplications are built on blockchain. Usually it is collection of smart contracts communicating together. Interactions with dApp are made through frontend UI, which might be website on server, or in decentralized way stored on IPFS.
We divided DApps into following categories:
Assets - tokenized assets on chain, it might be fiat currency, commodities, real estates or even other crypto currencies.

Other - other DApps, hard to fit in previous categories, such as oracles, DAOs, etc.
You can move between categories by simple swipe (left or right) or tap on left or right
button, on the top of the screen, to move on next screen. Current category is highlited
in the widget on the top between buttons / for changing category.
Horizontal list with platforms is located below the category widget (ALL, ATOM, ETH, ...). You can filter available dApps by platform
on which the dApp is implemented. Selected platform is highlighted. All platforms are selected by default.
Then there is list of dApps itself. Each item contains brief info, such as logo and name of the project, short description, subcategory and
platform info (i.e. ETH).
You can display detailed popup about dApp, if you tap on the record from the list. The popup contains extended description with
useful links, such as homepage, twitter and multiple dApps ranking services to track metrics of given dApp (users per day, transactions per
day, etc.) - see below.
