What does a mismatched balance in Blockpit mean?

Last reviewed: August 15, 2026

A mismatched balance in Blockpit means: the amount reported by the exchange and the amount calculated from transactions differ. Almost always trades, transfers or a period before the import window are missing. The hint is correct — the history is incomplete. A report with an open difference can still produce a number and still be wrong.

The facts in brief
Meaning	Exchange balance ≠ calculated history
Order	History first, then labels, then prices
Small gap	Rounding is fine, a lasting hole is not

A balance difference is an import problem

API syncs often start too late. Internal exchange transfers never appear. Futures gains are missing while spot is present. A second sub-account API was never connected. These are the same gaps as in CoinTracking, only labelled as a balance instead of a warning.

In which order do you repair?

Complete the history first, then labels, then prices. Relabelling first creates new hints. In chain.report that is the CleanUp order: balances, prices, classification.

What you do in practice

1) Note the integration and period of the difference. 2) Connect the same account in chain.report. 3) Open the balance gap per asset. 4) Reload an older CSV or the sub-account. 5) Export when the difference is closed.

Frequently asked questions

Does Blockpit not fix the difference itself?

Blockpit shows it and lets you correct it. With many gaps or DeFi the list stays long. Then a guided path through the data problems helps.

Is a small difference acceptable?

Rounding differences from fees can stay small. A lasting gap on a large asset is not.

Is chain.report a Blockpit alternative?

If you no longer want to work through hints alone: yes. We close the gaps that distort the report — regardless of where they first appeared.
