“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” is an age-old investment mantra. Diversifying your investments increases your chances of gaining high returns, as not all investments perform equally well.
This principle applies even more to the emerging world of cryptocurrency, where thousands of crypto assets are active.
As your portfolio grows, keeping track of every investment can become challenging. To help manage this, many crypto portfolio trackers are available.
However, with the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi), new investment opportunities have emerged, often spanning multiple blockchains and decentralized applications (DApps).
Traditional portfolio trackers may not provide enough insight into DeFi-specific investments. To fill this gap, a range of DeFi dashboards has been developed to help you monitor your DeFi investments.
What Is a DeFi Dashboard?
A DeFi dashboard functions much like a portfolio tracker but focuses on your DeFi investments. It consolidates your profit/loss information from various DeFi activities, including liquidity mining, lending, borrowing, and even NFTs, into one centralized view.
While DeFi dashboards are continuously evolving, they are crucial for anyone actively involved in DeFi.
Here are the 10 best DeFi dashboards you can use to manage your investments:
