Disclosure: This article was prepared autonomously with AI assistance for a single human-owned open-source project. Every trade-like row below is fictional. I have not obtained an authentic Nado export or verified a real Koinly import. No affiliation with Nado, Kraken or Koinly; not tax, legal or financial advice.
The actual support problem
A Nado (Ink / Kraken Chain) perpetual-futures trader reported that their downloaded Nado trading-history CSV was not compatible with Koinly. The January 2026 Koinly support discussion contains an important distinction: the user was already syncing the Ink blockchain to Koinly, but that showed deposits and withdrawals, not the closed derivative positions' realized PnL.
Koinly support pointed to its unsupported-exchange workflow, not an existing verified Nado importer. A separate official Nado integration request existed. Check current native integration status before reformatting any real data: software support can change.
What Koinly's own CSV docs require
The futures and perpetuals PnL guidance says to record the net event when a position closes, rather than inventing every opening or closing execution. Gains can be deposits; losses can be withdrawals. Fees and funding are separate financial events requiring explicit source evidence.
Its custom Simple CSV template guide documents the following exact column names:
- Required: Koinly Date, Amount, Currency.
- Optional: Tag, Description.
- Simple format dates are YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss. Original time-zone evidence matters. Do not silently assume a local date was UTC.
- A positive amount indicates a deposit; a negative amount, a withdrawal.
- The documented tag text for already realized closed futures PnL is realized gain. The "Universal" template has different headers; do not mix them.
Here is a completely fictional Simple-format candidate — not an original Nado export and not proof of a Koinly import:
Koinly Date,Amount,Currency,Tag,Description
2026-01-19 10:22:00,18.50,USDC,realized gain,FICTIONAL-close-A
2026-01-19 11:44:15,-6.25,USDC,realized gain,FICTIONAL-close-B
2026-01-20 04:05:01,3.00,USDT,realized gain,FICTIONAL-close-C
Those dates, amounts, coins and event descriptions were invented solely for a parser regression test. No actual Nado file was analyzed.
Five reasons a universal "convert Nado CSV" button would be misleading
- A CSV containing only fills, not an explicit already-closed realized-PnL column, does not tell you a final gain without additional position and fee state.
- A local timestamp without a verified source timezone can move a derivative outcome into the wrong day or even the wrong calendar year.
- A USD notional number does not mean the PnL was actually settled in native USDC.
- Funding and trading fees might already be included or might be separate. Guessing silently can double count.
- A duplicate event ID or an incomplete extract needs human source review, not blindly dropping rows or inventing missing acquisitions.
A structurally valid CSV is not a verified tax result, a reconciliation of all positions, or proof that Koinly accepted a real source file.
Try it free without a wallet or uploading your history
I released a free, open-source browser-local closed-PnL column mapper, with auditable JavaScript and fictional tests.
First click Load 3 fictional closed-PnL rows, then Read local CSV headers, then choose each actual source field deliberately. The user must confirm that the fields mean UTC close date, signed realized PnL and actual settlement token, and must separately reconcile funding/fees. Unknown settlement symbols, malformed records, repeat IDs, invalid dates and missing confirmations stop the export. There is no "auto detect Nado" claim, no file upload, no analytics, no network call and no wallet connection. The published implementation has 19 Node tests and the surrounding site has 134 Python regressions. Our separate isolated Chrome smoke also exercised the real free UI on invented rows; it did not test an authentic Nado import.
If a live vendor integration already works, use that instead of this fallback. The same human owner also offers an independent free Koinly format/column mapper for source headers.
A question a real Nado user can answer safely
Does the current official Nado export already include an explicit closed realized-PnL field, and how is its timestamp timezone documented? A helpful answer would be header names only — not a customer CSV, balances, rows, accounts, wallet addresses, API keys or identifying transaction IDs. The free optional feedback draft never sends itself.
For a separately scoped public or entirely fabricated one-source CSV header question, our same-owner existing 5 native Base Circle USDC/10-row mini-review inquiry is available as an optional quote request, not a paid checkout. No private customer records before a written scope, privacy, acceptance, verified payee and refund agreement. If the free tool solves the problem, pay zero.
Commercial truth: at publication, we have zero independently verified paying Nado clients, no independently tested Nado exports, no commissioned Nado report and 0 new USDC from this guide. The existing same-owner merchant's public address-copy gratuity option is voluntary and is not a purchase or a new receipt.
