Good to know
dYdX specifics.
- dYdX signs API requests with a wallet private key, and HashBooks never asks for a private key. A file upload gives HashBooks the same history without it.
- The dYdX Indexer API takes the wallet address that owns the account as its address parameter.
- The Get Fills endpoint returns fill records for a specific subaccount.
- dYdX is a decentralised exchange: trades settle on-chain and your account is a wallet, which is why its API signs requests with a private key.

Questions
dYdX, answered.
How are dYdX futures and perpetuals taxed?
Closing a position realises a gain or loss, and funding you pay or receive adds to or reduces your result. HashBooks imports both from dYdX and reports them under your country’s rules; the tax section above shows how your country treats them.
Can I connect dYdX by API?
Not today. dYdX signs API requests with a wallet private key, and HashBooks never asks for a private key. Download your history and upload it with the HashBooks template instead; when the connection becomes possible, the same ledger simply carries on.
How do I get my dYdX transaction history for taxes?
Download your trade, deposit and withdrawal history from dYdX and upload it to HashBooks with the CSV / Excel template. You see a preview before anything is saved.
Which HashBooks plan do I need for dYdX?
Connecting dYdX and seeing an estimated tax summary is free for up to 100 transactions across 3 connections. Filing reports for your country start on the Starter plan; see pricing.
Does HashBooks connect to my dYdX account?
No. With a file upload there’s no key, password or link to dYdX at all: HashBooks reads the rows you upload and nothing else.
