How to Read Your CleanSky Scan

Before you start: what is a scan?

A CleanSky scan reads public blockchain data for any wallet address you provide. It checks all supported networks simultaneously and organizes what it finds into a structured view.

No wallet connection is required. No private keys, no seed phrases, no signup. You paste a public address (like 0x1234...abcd) or a name (like vitalik.eth or toly.sol), and CleanSky reads what's publicly visible on the blockchain.

Section 1: Net Worth

The first number you see is your total net worth — the combined USD value of everything in the wallet across all supported networks.

This includes:

• Tokens held directly in the wallet (ETH, USDC, SOL, etc.)
• DeFi positions — money deposited in lending protocols, liquidity pools, vaults, staking contracts
• Debts — loans are subtracted from the total (net worth = assets minus liabilities)

If you have wallets on multiple networks — say ETH on Ethereum, USDC on Arbitrum, and SOL on Solana — they all appear in a single number. No more jumping between block explorers to figure out your total.

Section 2: Positions

This is the core of the scan. Every asset and DeFi position is classified into human-readable categories:

Each position shows:

• Value — how much it's worth in USD right now
• Protocol — which DeFi service holds it (Aave, Lido, Uniswap, etc.)
• Network — which blockchain it's on (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, etc.)
• Earnings — how much interest, rewards, or fees the position is generating (if applicable)

Section 3: Risk Analysis

This is where CleanSky differs from every other tracker. Instead of a single "risk score" that tells you nothing, CleanSky measures six independent risk dimensions:

Each dimension is scored from Very Low (1) to Very High (5), weighted by the USD value of each position. This gives you a clear map: "I have high volatility and low liquidity in 30% of my portfolio" — that's actionable information, not a meaningless number.

Section 4: Concentration Analysis

Concentration risk is one of the most common — and most overlooked — dangers in crypto portfolios. CleanSky checks:

• Token concentration — What percentage of your portfolio is in a single token? Having 80% in one token is a bet, not diversification.
• Network concentration — Is everything on one blockchain? If that chain goes down or gets congested, all your capital is affected.
• Protocol concentration — Is most of your DeFi in one protocol? If that protocol gets hacked, you lose it all.
• Underlying exposure — You might hold wstETH, stETH, and cbETH thinking you're diversified. But they're all ETH exposure. CleanSky strips wrappers to show your real concentration.

Section 5: Token Approvals

This section shows every smart contract that has permission to move your tokens. If you've ever used a DEX, lending protocol, or bridge, you've probably signed approval transactions.

What is a token approval?

Before a DeFi protocol can use your tokens (to swap, lend, or deposit them), you have to give it permission — a "token approval." This is a separate transaction from the actual operation.

The problem: most approvals are unlimited and permanent. When you approved Uniswap to swap 100 USDC two years ago, you likely gave it permission to move all your USDC, forever — unless you explicitly revoked it.

Why it matters

Old approvals are one of the most common attack vectors in crypto:

• If a protocol you approved gets hacked or has a vulnerability, the attacker can use your existing approval to drain your tokens — even if you haven't used that protocol in months.
• If you approved a malicious contract (phishing, fake airdrop), it can drain your wallet at any time until you revoke the approval.
• Forgotten approvals accumulate over time. The average active DeFi wallet has dozens of old approvals that the owner has forgotten about.

What to do

Review each approval CleanSky shows you. For any protocol you no longer use, revoke the approval. For active protocols, consider reducing the approval amount to only what's needed. Revoking costs a small gas fee but eliminates the risk entirely.

A note about KYC when buying crypto

Before you can have anything to scan, you need to buy crypto. Most exchanges and on-ramps require KYC (Know Your Customer) — identity verification where you provide an ID document and sometimes a selfie. This is similar to opening a bank account.

KYC is a legal requirement, not something to worry about. Regulated exchanges in the US, EU, and most countries are obligated to verify your identity before letting you buy or sell crypto with traditional money (bank transfer, credit card, etc.).

Once your crypto is in your personal wallet, DeFi protocols and blockchain operations don't require additional identity verification — that's one of the key differences from traditional finance.

Section 6: Network Breakdown

This shows which blockchain networks your assets live on, with a percentage breakdown. It helps you understand:

• Where your money is — across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, Base, etc.
• Gas cost implications — assets on Ethereum L1 cost more to move than assets on Layer 2s or Solana
• Infrastructure risk — if most of your assets are on one network and it experiences congestion or downtime, your ability to act is limited

How to scan a wallet

It takes three steps:

1. Go to app.cleansky.io
2. Paste a wallet address or name. You can use:
   • An Ethereum address: 0x1234...abcd
   • An ENS name: vitalik.eth
   • A Solana address or SNS name: toly.sol
   • Any supported network address
3. Wait a few seconds. CleanSky scans all supported networks simultaneously. Results appear as they load.

Tips for reading your scan

• Start with net worth. Does the number match what you expect? If it's much lower, you might have assets on networks CleanSky hasn't scanned yet, or in protocols not yet supported.
• Check your positions. Are there positions you've forgotten about? Old liquidity pool positions or small staking amounts are common blind spots.
• Review risk dimensions. Don't aim for "all green." High volatility is fine if you're aware of it and have decided it's acceptable. The goal is awareness, not elimination of all risk.
• Clean up approvals. This is the single most impactful security action you can take. Revoke anything you don't actively use.
• Scan regularly. Your risk profile changes as markets move, positions accumulate rewards, and you interact with new protocols. A monthly scan is a good habit.
