Frequently asked questions

What data does Clams import from Casa?

Clams imports all addresses derived from your multisig descriptor, incoming and outgoing transactions, UTXOs, and calculates cost basis per UTXO. Your signing keys remain distributed across your Casa setup.

Does Clams access my private keys?

No. Clams uses watch-only access via your wallet descriptor. Your signing keys remain secure in your Casa multisig setup. The descriptor only allows Clams to view addresses and transactions, not spend funds.

Can I track multiple Casa wallets?

Yes. Add each Casa wallet separately in Clams using its descriptor. Each wallet gets independent tracking and reporting.

What is a descriptor?

A descriptor is a standardized way to describe a Bitcoin wallet's address derivation. For multisig wallets like Casa, the descriptor includes all the public keys and the signing threshold, allowing Clams to derive all addresses without access to private keys.

How do I get capital gains reports from my Casa wallet?

Export your wallet descriptor from Casa and add it to Clams. Clams calculates cost basis for every UTXO and tracks capital gains when you spend. Export reports from the Exports widget.
