DeFi Tax Calculator That Actually Works
Most crypto tax software chokes on DeFi. Moonscape doesn't. LP tracking, yield farming detection, staking derivatives, bridge recognition - all automatic.
Connect wallets. Automatic DeFi detection. No credit card required.
Why DeFi Taxes Are Different
Generic Tax Software
Sees LP deposits as transfers, misses taxable swaps. Treats bridges as sales, creating phantom gains. Ignores staking derivative wrapping. Buries yield farming income.
Moonscape
Detects LP deposits/withdrawals as taxable events. Recognizes bridge contracts as non-taxable. Handles wstETH/cbETH wrapping correctly. Auto-categorizes yield farming rewards.
Every Major DeFi Protocol Supported
Uniswap, Aave, Lido, Curve, and hundreds more. If it's on-chain, we track it.
Plus any protocol on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, BSC
How Moonscape Handles DeFi
LP Deposit/Withdrawal
Tracks Uniswap, Curve, Balancer pools. Recognizes deposits as taxable swaps, calculates impermanent loss impact on disposal.
Yield Farming
Detects reward claims from Aave, Compound, Yearn. Categories as ordinary income at receipt with historical price valuation.
Staking Derivatives
Handles wstETH, cbETH, rETH, sfrxETH wrapping. Maintains cost basis continuity through derivative conversions.
Bridge Detection
Recognizes Hop, Across, Synapse, Stargate transactions. Marks as non-taxable transfers, preserves cost basis across chains.
Flash Loan Handling
Filters out flash loans and internal contract calls. Only reports economically meaningful transactions.
Multi-Chain Tracking
Unified cost basis across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, BSC. One calculation for all chains.
DeFi Tax Challenges Moonscape Solves
LP Token Tracking
Most software treats LP deposits as simple transfers, missing the taxable swap
Detects LP deposits/withdrawals as taxable events, tracks basis through pool lifecycle
Staking Derivatives
wstETH, cbETH, rETH treated as separate assets, creating phantom gains
Recognizes derivative wrapping as non-taxable, maintains original cost basis
Bridge Transactions
Same asset bridged between chains flagged as taxable sale
Auto-detects bridges (Hop, Across, Synapse), marks as non-taxable transfers
Yield Farming Rewards
Rewards buried in contract calls, not recognized as income
Identifies reward claims from contracts, categorizes as ordinary income at receipt
Common DeFi Tax Mistakes
Treating LP deposits as non-taxable
Why it happens: You're disposing of both tokens to receive LP token
Impact: Unrealized gains at deposit time not reported, audit risk
Missing yield farming income
Why it happens: Reward claims buried in transaction logs
Impact: Ordinary income underreported, potential penalties
Bridge transactions flagged as sales
Why it happens: Software doesn't recognize bridge contracts
Impact: Phantom capital gains on non-taxable transfers
wstETH/cbETH wrapping taxed as swap
Why it happens: Derivative tokens treated as new assets
Impact: Double taxation on same underlying ETH position

Liquidity Pool Tracking
Deposit: When you deposit 1 ETH + 1000 USDC into Uniswap, you're disposing of both assets. Moonscape recognizes this as two taxable swaps (ETH→LP token, USDC→LP token) and calculates gain/loss based on your cost basis at deposit time.
Withdrawal: When you withdraw 0.95 ETH + 1050 USDC, you're disposing of your LP token. We calculate the gain/loss on both received assets relative to your original deposit basis. Impermanent loss is automatically reflected in the disposal calculation.
Fee Tracking: Swap fees accumulate in the pool. When you withdraw, the excess tokens represent fee income. Moonscape categorizes these as ordinary income valued at withdrawal time.
Yield Farming Rewards
Automatic Detection: Moonscape scans transaction logs for reward claim events from Aave, Compound, Curve, Convex, Yearn, and other protocols. No manual categorization needed.
Income Valuation: Rewards are valued at the market price when received and reported as ordinary income. This becomes your cost basis when you later sell the reward tokens.
Supported Tokens: COMP, AAVE, CRV, CVX, YFI, SUSHI, CAKE, BAL, and hundreds more across all supported chains.
Staking Derivative Handling
The Problem: You stake 10 ETH for stETH, wrap it to wstETH, bridge to Arbitrum, then unwrap. Generic software treats each step as a taxable swap, creating phantom gains on the same position.
Moonscape Solution: We recognize wstETH, cbETH, rETH, sfrxETH, and other derivative wrapping as non-taxable conversions. Your original ETH cost basis carries through until you actually dispose of the position.
Taxable Events: Only the initial ETH stake (if considered a disposal) and the final unwrap/sale are taxable. Everything in between maintains cost basis continuity.
Bridge Transaction Recognition
Contract Detection: Moonscape maintains a database of bridge contracts (Hop, Across, Synapse, Stargate, Wormhole, etc.) and automatically flags transactions with these contracts as non-taxable transfers.
Cost Basis Preservation: When you bridge 1000 USDC from Ethereum to Arbitrum, your original cost basis carries to the Arbitrum USDC. No phantom gain from the bridge transaction.
Multi-Chain Continuity: Track the same asset across chains with unified cost basis. Your Ethereum USDC and Arbitrum USDC maintain separate positions with their respective bases.
DeFi Tax Questions
Are liquidity pool deposits taxable?
Yes. When you deposit ETH and USDC into a Uniswap pool, you're disposing of both assets in exchange for an LP token. This is a taxable swap. Moonscape recognizes these transactions and calculates your gain/loss at deposit time based on the market value of assets deposited.
How are yield farming rewards taxed?
Yield farming rewards (COMP, AAVE, CRV, etc.) are ordinary income when received. Moonscape detects reward claims from contract events, values them at receipt using historical prices, and reports them as income. When you later sell those rewards, that's a separate capital gain/loss event.
Are bridge transactions taxable?
No. Bridging USDC from Ethereum to Arbitrum via Hop Protocol is a non-taxable transfer - you still own USDC, just on a different chain. Moonscape auto-detects bridge contracts and marks these as non-taxable, preserving your original cost basis.
How does Moonscape handle staking derivatives like wstETH?
When you wrap stETH to wstETH (or ETH to cbETH/rETH), you're not disposing of your position - it's the same economic exposure. Moonscape recognizes these derivative conversions and maintains cost basis continuity. Only the initial ETH stake and final unwrap/sale are taxable events.
What DeFi protocols does Moonscape support?
Moonscape supports all major DeFi protocols on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, and BSC. This includes Uniswap, Aave, Lido, Curve, MakerDAO, Compound, Balancer, and hundreds more. If it's on-chain, we track it.
How does impermanent loss affect my taxes?
Impermanent loss is reflected in your tax calculation when you withdraw from the LP. If you deposited 1 ETH + 1000 USDC and withdraw 0.95 ETH + 1050 USDC due to price changes, Moonscape calculates the gain/loss on both assets relative to your original cost basis. The "impermanent loss" is the economic reality captured in your disposal calculation.
