Defitact is a platform designed to consolidate transactions involving decentralized finance (DeFi) assets and NFTs, complemented by illustrative charts. Pafin claims that it is the first provider of crypto P&L calculations to offer blockchain asset management in the Japanese language.The company envisions a broad array of services through Cryptact, from asset management to P&L calculations, to support all Web3 activities in today’s digital landscape.Beta test for subscribersStarting from May 29, Pafin will roll out a beta test for Defitact, exclusive to Cryptact newsletter subscribers. Subscribers will be able to access the service by entering their wallet addresses in the URL provided with the newsletter, which will be sent on the beta test launch date. The newsletter will be sent to those who sign up by May 28, and registration for a Cryptact account is free.This service emerges amidst the growing prominence of Web3, with DeFi — a financial service leveraging blockchain technology — standing out as one of its most rapidly evolving sectors. As of the close of 2021, the DeFi market had a near $100 billion valuation, according to a report by the Japan Research Institute.The nature of DeFi, lacking a centralized administrator, places the onus of crypto wallet management on individuals. The Defitact service seeks to resolve the inconvenience of monitoring and managing real-time transactions on DeFi platforms, typically operating outside crypto exchanges.Available in Japanese and EnglishAs a free, bilingual (Japanese and English) service, Defitact provides a transaction history and displays crypto market capitalization in three fiat currencies: the Japanese yen, the US dollar, and the euro.Pafin’s future plans include integrating Defitact with Cryptact, adding an NFT management service, and enabling the aggregation of multiple wallets for efficient digital asset portfolio management.
