Product overview

Crypto Transaction Log is the most developed product in the portfolio from a website perspective — it has a full product page, freemium pricing with Stripe Checkout, and an interactive demo with an import wizard that simulates CSV/XLS parsing. It targets crypto investors and active traders who need to consolidate transactions across multiple exchanges. The underlying production import engine, cloud sync, and mobile applications have not been built.
