What it is
rotki is an open-source, self-hosted portfolio manager, accounting, and analytics tool focused on privacy. It runs locally on Linux, macOS, and Windows, or can be self-hosted, and stores its database on the user's device encrypted with SQLCipher and 256-bit AES. Exchange connections use read-only API keys processed locally, while blockchain connections use RPC endpoints selected by the user. The dashboard tracks assets, liabilities, exposure percentages, and net-worth changes over time. rotki converts on-chain activity into readable events and produces profit-and-loss and tax reports. Its listed blockchain integrations include Ethereum, Bitcoin, Avalanche, Polygon PoS, Arbitrum One, Base, and others, with early Solana support; it also says more than 140 DeFi protocols are automatically detected and decoded. The free plan includes up to 1,000 recent events and 10 notes. Premium features include graphs, advanced staking, higher event limits, decentralized-exchange accounting, and DeFi historical profit-and-loss reporting. Premium also enables encrypted database backup and synchronization across devices. rotki says users are responsible for reviewing tax reports with qualified advisors.
