Waltio Creates Two Transactions for One

An exchange transaction displayed as a deposit and a withdrawal

Updated today

📝 Description

Waltio sometimes creates two transactions where you only performed one. This is particularly common for swaps made on decentralised exchanges (such as Uniswap).

The reason: A swap (or exchange) is actually a withdrawal of one crypto and a deposit of another crypto. For example, swapping 1 ETH for 20 AAVE is equivalent to: withdrawing 1 ETH + depositing 20 AAVE.

⚠️ Warnings

  • This behaviour is normal and intentional. Waltio retrieves data from blockchain explorers (such as Etherscan), which provide data in this way.

  • Do not manually delete these transactions without understanding the tax impact.

📂 What to Do When There Are Two Transactions for One?

In most cases: nothing. Waltio automatically matches the corresponding withdrawals and deposits.

If you see a "withdrawal to categorise" warning: If Waltio cannot automatically associate the two transactions, you will see a warning. In this case:

  1. Identify the corresponding withdrawal and deposit

  2. Apply the "Swap" label to the transactions concerned, or

  3. Associate them manually using the consolidation feature

💡 Additional Information

  • To learn how to manually associate transactions, see the article Consolidating your transactions.

  • To understand the available labels, consult your Waltio help center.
