Question 1

Is Chainfolio free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Chainfolio is completely free. It is a browser-native application — no subscription, no freemium tier, and no account required. Simply open the app and start tracking.

Question 2

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

No. Chainfolio has no concept of 'users'. There is no account creation, no email collection, and no KYC. The app runs entirely in your browser with no server-side authentication.

Question 3

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

All your data — wallets, transactions, snapshots, and settings — is stored exclusively in your browser's IndexedDB and localStorage. No server ever receives your data. Clearing your browser data permanently deletes it.

Question 4

What blockchains does Chainfolio support?

Accepted Answer

Chainfolio has full support for Ethereum and Solana, including native tokens, staking positions, and full transaction history. Smart chain detection automatically classifies transactions (transfers, swaps, stakes, NFTs).

Question 5

Do I need to connect my wallet?

Accepted Answer

No. Chainfolio supports watch-only mode — paste any public wallet address to track balances and transactions without any wallet connection. You can also connect via 31 supported browser wallet adapters (Phantom, Solflare, Ledger, and more).

Question 6

What wallet adapters are supported?

Accepted Answer

Chainfolio supports 31 Solana wallet adapters including Phantom, Solflare, Coinbase Wallet, Ledger, Trust Wallet, Trezor, MathWallet, Coin98, Nightly, Particle, SafePal, and 20 more. The app only reads the public key — it never accesses private keys.

Question 7

Do I need API keys or RPC endpoints?

Accepted Answer

Chainfolio ships with no hardcoded API keys. You provide your own RPC endpoints for Ethereum and Solana (Alchemy, Ankr, Helius, etc.) and optional Etherscan API key for higher rate limits. DexScreener and DeFiLlama are used without API keys.

Question 8

Does Chainfolio track my analytics or usage?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Chainfolio has zero telemetry — no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no Amplitude, no crash reporters, no cookies sent to third parties. It is architecturally impossible for Chainfolio to observe your usage.

Question 9

Does Chainfolio have a whale tracking feature?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Chainfolio includes Whale Watcher – a smart money radar with a pre‑loaded directory of top traders, funds, and founders. Track wallets like Vitalik Buterin, Justin Sun, Wintermute, and high‑PnL anonymous traders with one‑click whale tracking.

Question 10

Does Chainfolio support background alerts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Chainfolio provides serverless background alerts via push notifications for portfolio changes, balance thresholds, token price moves, and RPC health degradation. Runs even when the app is closed via Capacitor Background Runner and Service Workers.

Question 11

Is there a mobile app for Chainfolio?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Chainfolio is built with Capacitor and runs as a native iOS/Android app with full access to background sync and push notifications. The UI adapts with sidebar on desktop and intuitive bottom navigation on mobile.
