Designing a Multi-Chain Wallet Chart: A Data Model for Networks, Accounts, Assets, and Transfers
A practical data architecture for normalizing wallet charts across account-based and UTXO networks without erasing chain-specific meaning.
Web3 charting combines multi-chain holdings with application state, smart-account capabilities, approvals, and cross-chain transfers while preserving provenance.
A Web3 wallet may control accounts on several networks and interact with applications that transform assets into claims, positions, or permissions. The overview should use canonical chain and asset identifiers, reconcile bridge transfers, and keep wrapped or bridged instruments distinct from their reference exposure.
Application interactions add another layer. A chart can group activity by protocol, show active positions, list granted authorities, and map contract dependencies. It should not equate an app label with safety, or infer ownership across chains without a supplied or verifiable relationship.
Each layer answers a different question. The summary remains useful because the supporting evidence is still available.
Use explicit chain, account, and asset identifiers instead of relying on names or symbols.
Match source and destination events while preserving fees, timing, and the new instrument’s bridge risk.
Group positions and interactions by protocol with contract-level evidence and resolver confidence.
Show approvals, delegates, smart-account modules, and other persistent authorities beside asset exposure.
Definitions are descriptive, not promises of completeness. Protocol and network implementations can differ.
A canonical value distinguishing one blockchain network from another.
A supplied or inferred link between accounts, with a method and confidence level.
A transaction or message involving application contracts or programs.
A cross-chain movement involving lock, burn, mint, release, or messaging steps.
A programmable account whose behavior can include modules, policies, batching, or delegated capabilities.
The source and transformation history behind a label, value, or interpretation.
No. Similar-looking or derived addresses do not by themselves prove common control. Relationships should be supplied or verified.
They can be grouped for economic exposure, but the instrument and bridge dependencies should remain visible.
It shows that an account called or was affected by specific contracts or programs. It does not alone establish intent, ownership, or safety.
