Introduction In digital assets, coverage sounds impressive. It promises support for many chains and protocols. Auditors do not sign off on coverage lists. They sign off on evidence.

Reconstructing Time and Ownership Accurate token movement and cost basis depend on two contexts: when the transaction happened and who owned the token accounts involved. Early Solana history sometimes lacks both. This guide explains when timestamps and ownership became reliable and how to rebuild them when they are missing. Abstract If you analyze Solana’s early […]

A Vendor Evaluation Framework for Crypto Reporting Digital asset reporting should be judged by one standard: can the numbers be explained and defended.

How NODE40 Helps You Explain Every Number Getting the numbers right is only half the battle. In a regulated environment, you also need to explain how you got there. Review-ready reporting means every figure can be traced to its source, with clear classification logic and reconciliations that tie out. Most crypto tools were built for […]

A Dive into Solana DeFi Accounting Abstract This article explores how to track user activity on Solana’s MarginFi protocol – specifically, how to identify value deposited into and withdrawn from MarginFi vaults when user-controlled wallets no longer directly hold those assets. While most systems attempt to follow token balances, NODE40 captures financial intent and economic […]

Making Crypto Activity Defensible In the early days of crypto accounting, a simple spreadsheet might have been enough. But as digital asset activity becomes more complex and regulatory scrutiny increases, raw exports no longer meet the mark. Today, CFOs, controllers, and auditors need more than a ledger—they need a narrative. The Problem with Building In-House […]

How NODE40 Handles Complexity Without Compromise The digital asset landscape is evolving fast. What used to be simple buy/sell activity has expanded into staking rewards, validator income, high-frequency trades, cross-chain flows, and DeFi protocol interactions, all happening simultaneously and at scale. For institutions operating in this space, the complexity isn’t optional. It’s foundational. But complexity […]

1099-DA and Why Most Firms Aren’t Ready The rollout of Form 1099-DA marks a turning point in how the IRS will track digital asset activity. For the first time, centralized platforms will be required to report digital asset transactions to the federal government, generating billions of new information returns. But while the regulatory spotlight is […]

As the digital asset ecosystem matures, the need for credible, audit-ready financial reporting has never been more urgent. Yet many crypto reporting tools continue to deliver surface-level solutions: CSV exports and dashboards that collapse under scrutiny. NODE40 is driving a shift, from vague protection to confidence grounded in precision and data integrity.” The Illusion of […]
