Assets are the core data source in Chainbook. Each asset is a blockchain address paired with a network and a token, and is synced automatically to import all historical and new transactions.
Chainbook tracks stablecoin token transfers: USDT (TRC-20) on TRON, and USDT or USDC (ERC-20) on Ethereum. USDC is available on Ethereum only. Native TRX and ETH transfers, and other tokens, are not imported.

​
Adding Assets

Assets are managed inside the wallet dialog. Each asset belongs to exactly one wallet and has its own address, network, and token — so a single wallet can mix TRON and Ethereum assets.
1

Open the Edit Wallet dialog

Navigate to Wallets, open the wallet row’s ⋮ menu, and click Edit. (When creating a new wallet, the Create Wallet dialog works the same way.)
2

Click Add Asset

Click Add Asset at the bottom of the assets list to add a new asset row.
3

Enter the asset details

Paste the address and choose the network and token:
TRON addresses start with T and are 34 characters long.
Chainbook validates the address format before saving. An address that already exists in any of your wallets can’t be added again.
4

Save

Click Save Changes. Syncing begins automatically.

​
Asset Syncing

​
Initial Sync

When you first add an asset, Chainbook performs a full historical sync:
  1. Fetches token transfers - Every supported token transfer involving this address
  2. Processes transactions - Identifies incoming, outgoing, swap, and internal transactions
  3. Indexes data - Makes transactions searchable and filterable
Initial sync time depends on the asset’s transaction history. An asset with thousands of transactions may take several minutes.

​
Ongoing Sync

After the initial sync, assets are updated automatically every 10 minutes — there is no manual sync button, and nothing you need to trigger. If you’re expecting a transaction that hasn’t appeared yet, it will arrive with the next automatic sync.
Each wallet can import up to 10,000 transactions. When a wallet reaches this limit, its status changes to Sync Paused and no further transactions are imported.

​
Asset Information

Expand a wallet row on the Wallets page to see its assets. Each asset displays:

​
Sync Status

The wallet row shows the sync status:
If you notice missing transactions:
  1. Wait for the sync to complete (check the status indicator) — new transactions arrive with the automatic sync every 10 minutes
  2. Check the transaction on a blockchain explorer: Chainbook imports only USDT and USDC token transfers, so native TRX/ETH transfers and other tokens won’t appear
  3. Check whether the wallet shows Sync Paused — it may have reached the 10,000-transaction import limit
  4. Contact support if the issue persists

​
Removing Assets

Removing an asset permanently deletes all its transaction data from Chainbook. This action cannot be undone.
To remove an asset:
1

Expand the wallet

On the Wallets page, click the wallet row to expand its assets.
2

Open the asset menu

Open the ⋮ menu on the asset you want to remove.
3

Click Delete Asset

Click Delete Asset.
4

Confirm deletion

Confirm in the dialog.

Best Practices

​
Asset Organization

Group related assets in the same wallet for easier management and reporting.
Good organization:
  • All personal assets in “Personal” wallet
  • All business assets in “Business” wallet
  • Trading assets in “Trading” wallet
Avoid:
  • Mixing personal and business assets
  • Creating too many small wallets

​
Address Security

Chainbook only tracks public asset addresses. We never ask for or store private keys.
  • Only add addresses you own or have permission to track
  • Asset addresses are visible to anyone with access to the wallet
  • Shared wallets show all asset addresses to all members

​
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can track any valid public address on supported networks. You don’t need to own the address - Chainbook reads public blockchain data.
No. Chainbook only reads public blockchain data. There’s no connection to the actual wallet, and no notification is sent to the address owner.
Chainbook imports the transaction history of each asset from the first transaction to present, up to the 10,000-transaction limit per wallet.
Currently, you cannot move assets between wallets. You would need to remove the asset from one wallet and add it to another, which means re-syncing the transaction history.
