ASA Stats Unveils Historic Prices Engine and Upcoming CSV Export
We are excited to announce that ASA Stats has developed its own historic ASA prices engine and a CSV export functionality, with the latter set for release in the next few days. Join us as we spotlight our most recent updates and share our upcoming major upgrades.
ASA Stats Point in Time back and forth
A careful observer will notice a change in the abstract sections of our first-ever passed Gov proposal xGov-17 and its successor xGov-71. Although both are entitled ‘ASA Stats Point in Time,’ research from xGov-17 suggested that the title ‘Point in Time’ might have been too ambitious. Not anymore.
Our main goal was to provide certainty that our supporter would get the core functionality of creating CSV files ready to be imported into the crypto tax software. Therefore, we use the abstract section to explain the difference.
But, as Heraclitus pointed out a long time ago, the only constant in crypto is change.
ASA Stats Historic ASA Prices Engine
The historic price system wasn’t planned at the beginning, but after realizing that it has tremendous potential we decided to develop our own historic ASA prices engine for CSV export functionality, and that way we hit the ground running for some of the most complex prerequisites of our user widgets system!
ASA Stats’ new historic prices engine picks 100% of transactions and categorizes around 95% of them. The categorization fine-tuning will depend mostly on our users’ feedback.
The tax processing system parts combined with this historic pricing system bring an actual “Point in Time” feature for the ASA Stats users.
This entire endeavor would not have been possible without the invaluable support and insights from Urtho and Nodely. We would like to especially acknowledge their significant contributions to the development of the CSV exporting functionality.
ASA Stats CSV Export Functionality
The alpha version is coming in a few days
The alpha version of our CSV export functionality will allow users to create CSV files that are suitable for import into Koinly, a tax software provider that we have chosen for testing and alpha release based on feedback from our users.
The only option users can choose in this alpha version refers to the use of our maximum value engine. Our goal is to provide as many filters and additional options while processing CSV files. Many of those, if not all, will depend on our users’ feedback.
How to use CSV Export Functionality
Users will be able to create and export CSV files for up to 5 Algorand addresses in one click! Point your browser on our website, enter up to five of your public Algorand addresses, and click that CSV EXPORT button.

What’s next
As the upcoming deployment of our CSV export functionality is an alpha version, our focus in the following weeks and months will be to deploy more stable and feature-rich versions. Meanwhile, the development of two major upgrades to our engine will take place.
ASA Stats Proxy Pools Functionality Major Upgrade
As you may already know, we have temporarily suppressed our proxy pools functionality and for the last couple of months, our maximum value engine has used only ALGO-based AMM pools.
The major upgrade to our proxy pools functionality presents a revised and reliable operation that facilitates the thorough examination of nearly all AMM pools within the ecosystem through our maximum value engine.
ASA Stats NFT Pricing Engine Major Upgrade
In the current setup, NFT prices lacked the time factor consideration, leading to unrealistic valuations for most of the NFTs. The upcoming upgrade is designed to address this by incorporating timely data and providing realistic and up-to-date NFT prices.
The Consolidated Portfolio View Functionality
The development of the consolidated view completes the development of free features in the ASA Stats project. We’ll continue to research and develop new ecosystem providers and dApps for free users, but the new features like bundle naming, user settings, and user widgets will be available only to ASA Stats subscribers.
ASA Stats Subscription dApp
The next major step in our roadmap is developing and deploying our subscription dApp. The initial steps are taken and we’re looking forward to seeing the birth of the very first ASA Stats decentralized application!
As mentioned above, we have developed a historic prices engine from scratch to accompany the creation of CSV files ready to be imported into various tax software. As of now, our focus in the following weeks won’t be exposing that engine in the form of API endpoints — we’d rather focus on leveraging it in our user widgets.
Our primary development focus after the major upgrades from above will be on bringing the historic evaluation of user accounts in the form of a user widget. Please join our Discord channel where we discuss the technologies behind our user widget system. Once the actual development of the mentioned widget starts, you’ll be able to participate in discussing its features and UI.
