The problem it solves

Checking prices across multiple exchanges and updating your own spreadsheet by hand gets old fast, especially when crypto prices move by the hour. You either let your portfolio tracker go stale or waste time updating it yourself every day.

Who it fits

An individual investor or small team tracking a cryptocurrency portfolio.

How it works

  1. Every hour, the system checks current prices from CoinGecko
  2. It matches each price to the coins in your Airtable base
  3. It calculates the updated value of your holdings
  4. Your Airtable base refreshes with the latest portfolio value
What you get

Portfolio value updated every hour automatically

Your cryptocurrency portfolio value updates automatically every hour in Airtable, so you can check performance whenever you want.

What you get

An Airtable base that always shows the current value of your crypto holdings.

What you need

An Airtable account. CoinGecko pricing data does not require a paid key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
