Adding Wallet Addresses

dTax syncs your on-chain transaction history using your public wallet address. Your private key or seed phrase is never needed or asked for.

Public address only

dTax only needs your public wallet address — the one starting with 0x, bc1, 1, 3, or a Solana base58 string. Never share your private key or seed phrase with any application.

Where to enter your address in dTax

1. Go to Settings → Wallets → Add Wallet
2. Select the chain (Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, etc.)
3. Paste your public address
4. Click Sync

HD Wallet (xpub / ypub / zpub)

If you use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor) or Electrum with Bitcoin, you can sync all derived addresses at once using your extended public key.

Key format	Address type
xpub...	Legacy (P2PKH)
ypub...	Nested SegWit (P2SH)
zpub...	Native SegWit (Bech32)

1. Find your extended public key

   • Ledger Live: go to your Bitcoin account → … menu → Advanced → Extended public key (xpub)
   • Trezor Suite: go to your Bitcoin account → … → Public key
   • Electrum: Wallet → Information → Master Public Key

2. Add to dTax

   In dTax → Settings → Wallets → Add Wallet → select Bitcoin → paste the xpub/ypub/zpub.

   dTax will derive all child addresses automatically and sync transactions for all of them.

xpub reveals all your addresses

Your xpub is not a private key — it cannot move funds. However, it does reveal all your Bitcoin addresses and balances to anyone who has it. Only share it with services you trust.

Troubleshooting

“No transactions found” after syncing

• Make sure you pasted the correct address (check the first and last few characters).
• Verify the correct chain is selected — an ETH address on the wrong chain (e.g. Arbitrum instead of Ethereum) will show no results.
• Some wallets have very low transaction counts — that is expected.

Transactions are missing or incomplete

• dTax syncs from the earliest available block. For very old wallets (pre-2018), some indexers may have limited history.
• Try adding the same address again — it will re-fetch from the API.

Wrong transaction count

• If you used the same address on multiple chains (common for EVM), add it separately for each chain.

Bitcoin: only some addresses show transactions

• If you use an HD wallet, add the xpub key instead of individual addresses — this covers all derived addresses automatically.
