How can I record my investment in an ICO?

Check here if you have participated in an ICO and would like to record that transaction.

You can record your ICO investment in Delta by adding it manually as a custom coin or ICO entry, but there are a few important details to keep in mind regarding its value and how to update it once the token officially launches.

Adding the Initial Investment

To record your ICO, you will need to add the transaction manually as a custom coin or ICO entry within the app. Custom user-entered trades are treated just like standard buys and sells for the purpose of calculating your cost basis.

  • CSV Import Restriction: You cannot import custom coins or ICOs using a CSV file at this time, meaning these entries must be created manually within the app.

  • Zero Market Value: Because the custom coin or ICO does not yet have live market price data, its total worth will display as zero in your portfolio until it becomes publicly tradable.

Merging Your ICO Once It Becomes Tradable

Once the ICO token officially launches and is listed on an exchange that Delta supports, you can seamlessly merge your custom ICO entry with the live, tradable coin. This will allow the asset to start pulling real-time price data and update your portfolio's worth.

Here are the steps to merge your ICO entry:

  1. Open the custom ICO coin details page in your portfolio.

  2. Tap the 3 dots in the top right corner and select 'Merge with tradable coin'.

  3. Select the tradable coin you wish to merge your entry with.

  4. Select the appropriate exchange and trading pair.

  5. Tap 'Merge Coin'.

  6. The app will ask for a final confirmation. Hit continue to complete the process.

Please note that this merging action is irreversible, so be absolutely certain you have selected the correct tradable coin and exchange pair before confirming the merge.
