Difference between Synced, CSV & Manual integrations?
Synced Exchange Integrations
Exchange Integrations fetch data from exchanges mostly via API key.
By entering an API key and corresponding secret, your asset balance (Synced Balance) and transaction data can be automatically imported directly from the Exchange. There is also the option of a direct CSV upload for some Exchange integrations.
Synced Wallet Integrations
Wallet Integrations fetch data from the blockchain using a public key.
The base layer of a Wallet Integration is always a blockchain (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc.). By entering the public key of your Blockchain-Wallets or Multi-Wallet (e.g. MetaMask, Ledger, Trezor, Exodus, etc.) the asset balance (Synced Balance) and transaction data are recorded directly and automatically, similar to exchange integrations.
In Synced Exchange & Wallet integrations, transactions are synchronized automatically once a day in a few minutes to hours. The synchronization can also be triggered collectively or separately for individual integrations directly in the Dashboard:
The asset balance (Synced Balance) and associated live price data are automatically updated every 7 minutes.
Transactions can also be created manually in Exchange and Wallet Integrations, or uploaded collectively into your integration via an Excel Template.

CSV & Manual Integrations
In pure CSV Integrations, all transaction data must be uploaded using the CSV file of your Exchange. You can find out how to obtain your CSV file in the guides for all CSV Exchange integrations.
In Manual Integrations, all transaction data must be entered individually or uploaded collectively using our special Blockpit Excel template.
Manual Integrations can be subsequently converted to Synced Exchange or Wallet Integrations.

What is the difference between Synced Balance and Calculated Balance?
Synced Exchange & Wallet Integrations
In exchange or wallet integrations, there is both a “Synced Balance” and a “Calculated Balance” for each asset. Comparing these two makes it possible to identify potential mismatches in your balance. These are displayed directly in your integrations and holdings tab with the Tip “Mismatched Balance”.
-
What is the Synced Balance?
The Synced Balance is read directly from the exchange or wallet. It is independent of the transaction history of your Blockpit Integration.
-
What is the Calculated Balance?
In contrast, the Calculated Balance is based solely on your transactions. It is also used in the tax report and in the tax optimization feature, where it is simply referred to as “Balance”.
-
My Synced and Calculated Balance match!
If the synced and calculated balance of your Exchange or Wallet Integration match, the quantity of your assets is simply referred to as the “balance”.
CSV & Manual Integrations
The asset balance of your CSV & Manual Integrations is also referred to as "Balance" as it is calculated purely on the basis of your transactions and there is no connection via API key or public key.
This also means that the Tip “Mismatched Balance” can only be displayed for Exchange or Wallet Integrations, but not for CSV & Manual Integrations.
