Introducing DAT: The Most Convenient Way to Monitor Your Crypto

By: DAVID HILL

A new version of DAT, the Digital Asset Tracker, has been released, giving users the ability to connect to more exchanges than ever.In the digital assets landscape, a few elements remain constant: new coins, new ERC20 tokens, and new smart contracts are all launched regularly, along with the attendant complexity required to manage the details. There is no perfect solution for the management problem yet and, depending on when you entered the crypto space, the process for monitoring and aggregating your crypto holdings can vary greatly.

But what if all the managing and tracking of your digital assets could be accomplished more easily? This is what Fidelity Center for Applied Technology’s Digital Asset Tracker, DAT, is trying to accomplish. Regardless of your expertise or knowledge of the crypto space, DAT is designed to add convenience to the task. DAT gives the user the ability to easily keep tabs on the contents of their current or future crypto wallets, as well as their holdings on exchanges.

Let’s take a closer look at what DAT offers. For new users, DAT offers an easy way to track your favorite crypto assets by providing you with current and historical market prices. The steps are simple: search for your asset, enter your allocation, and you are off and running. DAT gives you the ability to easily replicate any portfolio you currently have or might have in the future. For more advanced users, DAT gives you the ability to directly link with exchanges so you can keep an eye on your portfolio in real time.

In DAT’s previous version only two exchanges were supported, but now you can directly link to:

  • Bittrex
  • Coinbase
  • CoinbasePro
  • Gemini
  • Kucoin

And, if the user prefers self-custody as a solution, not a problem. DAT supports the adding of your public keys, allowing you to monitor those holdings as well.

DAT is for everyone, regardless of technical expertise or crypto proficiency. It was developed to provide an easy solution to a rather difficult problem. We hope you’ll give DAT a try. Check out further details here or download it today from the Apple App Store.
