If an asset does not exist in Blockpit yet, you use a generic asset as a placeholder, for crypto assets and for NFTs. This keeps your history complete until the real asset is added.
What needs to be considered when using generic assets?
📌 One number per asset: The same assets always get the same number, different assets always a different one.
Case | Correct |
The same asset in two integrations | GENERIC-CRYPTO-2 both times |
Two different assets | GENERIC-CRYPTO-2 and GENERIC-CRYPTO-3 |
Two different NFTs | GENERIC-NFT-4 and GENERIC-NFT-17 |
In total, you can use up to 99 generic crypto assets and up to 1,000 generic NFTs in different integrations.
💡 Tip: After creating it, check whether the value of the transaction was taken over. If it is missing, add it via the asset value.
Example: generic crypto asset
▸ Type: Crypto Asset
▸ Available quantity: 1000
▸ Designation: Generic Crypto #1000 (GENERIC-CRYPTO-1000)
Example: generic NFT
▸ Type: NFT
▸ Available quantity: 10000
▸ Designation: Generic NFT #1000 (GENERIC-NFT-10000)
⚠️ Caution: Switzerland: Due to the special valuation logic, you can use generic assets only to a limited extent, namely if you trade them within one year and sell them before 31.12. of the same year.
Typical mistakes
✗ Using two numbers for the same asset → Blockpit sees two assets, holdings and cost basis do not match
✗ Using the same number for two different assets → holdings are mixed up, gains are calculated incorrectly
