How to connect MetaMask with API
We are only requesting view permissions. This does not give us access to your private keys or the ability to move your funds.
Follow these steps to add your MetaMask account to Coinpanda with API:
Open the MetaMask browser extension and log in
Select ‘Ethereum Mainnet’ from the dropdown at the top
Click the ‘copy’ icon below the account name to copy your public address
Add the public address to your MetaMask wallet on Coinpanda
Repeat the previous steps for all your wallet addresses if you have more than one ETH account
PS! From February 2023, you will be able to add multiple addresses to the same wallet on Coinpanda!
Due to the complexity of ETH and other EVM chains, we update the API integration for MetaMask every week. If you suspect one or more transactions were previously not imported correctly, we recommend deleting and reimporting all transactions, which should normally fix the issue.
If you still see a transaction not imported correctly, please reach out to us so that we can look into it. We can usually fix any import errors within a few days.
Supported MetaMask (EVM) blockchains
Coinpanda has direct integration with more than 43 EVM blockchains supported by MetaMask. To connect your MetaMask accounts from other blockchains, change the blockchain network in your MetaMask wallet to find your public addresses from other networks. You can select any of the 43 supported blockchains when adding a MetaMask wallet to your Coinpanda account.
Follow these steps to export your transactions from MetaMask:
Unfortunately, MetaMask does not allow exporting your transaction history as a CSV file. Because of this, the best solution is to import using API in most cases. If you still want to use file upload, you can try exporting a CSV file from any block explorer instead.
How are MetaMask transactions taxed?
The exact tax implications on MetaMask transactions depend on which country you live in and the type of transactions you have made. In general, you must pay either capital gains tax or income tax on your cryptocurrency transactions using MetaMask.
Capital gains tax: Whenever you sell a cryptocurrency for more than you purchased it for, you generate a capital gain. On the other hand, if you sell the cryptocurrency for less than you paid initially, you have a capital loss, which can offset other gains in most cases.
Income tax: Earned cryptocurrency using MetaMask, such as staking, interest, and airdrops, is typically seen as taxable income from a tax perspective and must be reported in your tax return.
To learn more about how MetaMask transactions are taxed in your country, we recommend reading our in-depth guides to cryptocurrency taxes.
How do I file my MetaMask taxes?
First, you must calculate capital gains and income from all taxable transactions from MetaMask. When you have this information ready, you can report capital gains and income together with other forms of income such as employment and dividends in your annual tax return.
To calculate your capital gains, you must first export a complete history of all transactions made using MetaMask. Once you have this data, you can calculate your capital gains or losses by determining the price at which you bought the cryptocurrency (your cost basis) and the price at which you sold it (your proceeds). Luckily, Coinpanda can help you with this and generate ready-to-file tax forms quickly and easily.
After downloading your MetaMask tax statements from Coinpanda, the last step is to report the capital gains and income on your tax return before the deadline. Most countries allow you to self-declare taxes online in 2023, but you can also get help from a professional tax accountant to file taxes for you.
