Positions in protocols and protocol types

Easily track your protocol investments, right in your Dashboard

On your Dashboard, you can easily monitor all the protocols in which you currently have open positions. For quick reference, each protocol’s total value is shown on the dashboard.

When you click a specific protocol, a modal will open, showing detailed info on your positions, split into categories (such as Locked, Staked, Rewards…)

Five statistics related to the position are shown: Balance, Price, Value, Cost Basis, and the Open P&L.

In the case of locked assets, Octav will tell you when they’re unlocking.

The three vertical dots open a menu that allows you to mark a token received as a spam transaction. The second option, SEE RELATED TRANSACTIONS, will open the transaction menu and automatically show you all transactions made involving that asset.

Octav organizes information by chain and by investment category/strategy for clear navigation. A wide range of protocol categories are covered, such as:
