I have wallets and activity spread across a lot of chains, and the simplest questions about my own exposure are weirdly hard to answer, because the answer lives in ten different places. Each chain has its own explorer with its own layout. Approvals on one set of pages, balances on another, history on a third, none of them talking to each other. Answering "what am I actually exposed to right now" means opening a stack of tabs and cross-referencing by hand. The data is all public. It is just scattered.
That gap is what I built TxDesk around. Not "explain crypto to me", the newcomer tool. The power-user version: consolidate it, fast. Not "what is an approval" but "pull every approval together so I do not have to visit six explorers."
I want to be precise about what it actually does, because anyone experienced will rightly distrust a vague "all chains, everything" claim. It pulls balances across more than forty chains, EVM and non-EVM. It scans active token approvals on the EVM networks and Tron and flags the dangerous ones (unlimited allowances, and grants to contracts that are unverified, freshly deployed, or behind a proxy). On Solana it checks token delegations including permanent-delegate mints. It decodes a transaction you point it at, richest on EVM. It pulls transfer history on the major EVM chains. Broad where the reads are broad, and I would rather tell you where they are narrow than imply everything-everywhere.
The insight was that the data was always public and multi-chain. What was missing is the aggregation and decoding, the boring on-demand work that is different every time you ask, which is exactly what an agent reading live data does well and a static dashboard does poorly.

Curious how other people building in crypto tooling think about the honesty-of-scope problem. How much do you scope your capability claims vs let the marketing round up?
