Core Engine Capabilities
Our automated engine delivers precise, real-time capital gains calculations for every transaction, eliminating manual work and compliance risk. Built for the complexity of Web3 spending.
Real-Time FIFO/LIFO/HIFO Calculation
Automatically applies your chosen cost-basis method (FIFO, LIFO, HIFO) to every spend transaction in real-time. Ensures consistent, auditable calculations for tax reporting and portfolio tracking.
Multi-Chain & Multi-Asset Support
Seamlessly tracks cost basis across Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and 15+ other EVM & non-EVM chains. Handles native tokens, ERC-20s, SPL tokens, and NFTs in a unified ledger.
Automated Price Oracle Integration
Integrates with decentralized (Chainlink, Pyth) and centralized price feeds to pull accurate, time-stamped USD valuations for cost-basis and gain/loss calculations at the moment of each transaction.
Granular Transaction Categorization
Intelligently categorizes transactions (e.g., DeFi swap, NFT purchase, merchant payment) to apply the correct tax treatment and reporting logic, reducing manual review by your finance team.
Enterprise-Grade Data Pipeline
A resilient, idempotent ingestion system that processes millions of transactions with guaranteed delivery. Built-in reconciliation ensures your financial data is always complete and accurate.
Regulatory Compliance Framework
Engine logic is designed with IRS guidelines, IFRS standards, and evolving global crypto tax regulations in mind. Provides the detailed data lineage required for audits.
Business Outcomes & Value
Our automated capital gains calculation service delivers concrete business results, reducing operational overhead and unlocking new revenue streams for your fintech or crypto application.
Compliance Automation
Eliminate manual tax reporting errors and ensure adherence to IRS Form 8949, FIFO/LIFO/HIFO standards. Our system provides auditable transaction trails for every spend event.
Developer Velocity
Integrate a production-ready tax engine via a single API. We handle the complexity of cost-basis tracking across wallets and tokens, so your team can focus on core features.
Cost Basis Accuracy
Precisely track acquisition prices and calculate gains/losses for every transaction—from simple swaps to complex DeFi interactions—ensuring users have a clear financial picture.
User Retention & Trust
Provide customers with transparent, accurate tax reporting directly within your app. This builds trust, reduces support tickets, and becomes a key retention feature.
Scalable Infrastructure
Our system is built to handle millions of transactions with 99.9% uptime. We manage the data pipeline, indexing, and calculations, so you don't have to.
Revenue Enablement
Monetize tax services directly or bundle them into premium subscription tiers. Automated reporting transforms a compliance burden into a new, predictable revenue stream.
Build vs. Buy: Automated Capital Gains Calculation
A technical and financial comparison of developing a compliant capital gains engine in-house versus partnering with Chainscore's managed service.

Our Integration & Delivery Process
A structured, transparent process designed for technical teams. We deliver a production-ready capital gains engine integrated into your existing stack, minimizing disruption and maximizing speed.
1. Discovery & Schema Design
We analyze your transaction data model and user flows to design a precise, performant calculation schema. This ensures accurate cost-basis tracking for every spend, from simple swaps to complex DeFi interactions.
3. Data Validation & Reconciliation
We run a full historical sync of your user wallets, validating our calculations against your existing records. This phase identifies and resolves any data discrepancies before go-live.
4. Staging & Compliance Review
Deploy the complete solution in your staging environment. We conduct final compliance checks for tax lot accounting methods (FIFO, LIFO, HIFO) and generate audit-ready reports for your review.
5. Production Launch & Support
We manage the production cutover and provide ongoing technical support. Your engineering team receives full documentation, dashboards for system health, and priority access to our engineers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how our API automates tax calculations for crypto payments, withdrawals, and merchant settlements.
Our engine uses a FIFO (First-In, First-Out) methodology by default, which is the standard for many jurisdictions. We ingest your full transaction history to accurately track the acquisition cost of every asset. For each spend (e.g., paying with USDC, selling crypto for fiat), the system automatically identifies the specific lots being disposed of, calculates the gain or loss based on their original purchase price, and generates an auditable report. We support Specific Identification (SpecID) for enterprise clients upon request.
