Wallet PnL

What Wallet PnL is​

Wallet PnL measures one wallet's profit and loss on one token. Cognivo reads the wallet's decoded buys, sells and transfers for that token on the network you pick, then shows what was realized, what is still unrealized, and how confident it is in the figures. The page describes itself as "See realized and unrealized profit and loss for a wallet and token, with honest limits."

When to use it​

Use it when you want to answer a question like "did this wallet actually make money on this token, or is it still holding at a loss?" That comes up when you are checking a wallet somebody is quoting as proof of a good call, when you are reviewing your own entry and exit on a position, or when you want a verified figure you can share instead of a screenshot of a portfolio app.

Where to find it​

Open the dApp, then select Wallet PnL in the left sidebar under INTELLIGENCE.

  1. Paste the wallet you want to measure into the Wallet field.
  2. Paste the token contract address into the Token field, so the result covers that one token.
  3. Pick the network from the Chain dropdown, then select Run PnL.
  4. Switch between Realized PnL, Trader read, and Saved reports to change what appears in the area below.

The Chain dropdown covers Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain. If the token you entered does not belong to the network you selected, Cognivo shows a notice and holds the run rather than producing a figure from the wrong chain.

What you get back​

The Realized PnL tab is the full report. It opens with a verdict of In profit, In loss or Inconclusive for that token, along with a Confidence line and a count of how many swaps could be priced, shown as something like "8 of 11 swaps priced". Below that you get Profit and loss with Realized, Unrealized and Net PnL, plus Proceeds and cost, Holdings and value with what is Still held and its current value, Token identity, Token flow with a breakdown of Bought, Sold, Received and Sent, and Source of tokens.

Cognivo counts swaps and transfers separately and never mixes them together. If some or all of the tokens arrived by transfer rather than a buy on a decentralised exchange, the report flags Received by transfer and warns that the cost basis may be incomplete. Where it cannot confirm how the tokens arrived, it says so instead of guessing. Every report ends with Things to keep in mind, which states what the figures cover.

Two results deserve their own reading. If the report says No matching trades found, Cognivo checked the decoded trade history for that wallet and token on that chain and found no buys or sells. That is a confirmed empty result, not a failure, and it is worth double checking the token address and the chain. If a value shows as Not available, Cognivo could not verify that number, which is different from the number being zero.

The Trader read tab is a quicker, plain-language read of how the wallet has moved this token. It does not include realized profit and loss, and it points you back to the full report for exact figures. The Saved reports tab lists your earlier reports so you can reopen one, filter by chain and search by token, wallet or chain. Reopened figures come from the saved report, not a fresh scan.

Limits and cost​

The figures are only as complete as the priced trades behind them, which is why the priced swap count, the confidence line and Things to keep in mind are shown next to every result. A profit figure is a record of what the chain shows for this wallet and token, not a judgement about the token or a forecast.

Wallet PnL does not charge credits today. The only tools that charge are Bubble Maps at 1 credit, Smart Accounts at 2 credits and Wallet Intelligence at 6 credits. Every account gets 5 free credits per day, which reset at midnight UTC. Where a tool does have a cost, Cognivo quotes it first, charges only after you agree, and only when a real result comes back.

You can turn a finished report into a share card from the Share card section. The card carries the verified figures only, with no private keys and no signing.
