Core App: Multi‑Chain Portfolio Tracking for Avalanche & EVM Networks

Overview of Core App & Multi‑Chain Tracking

Core App (by Ava Labs) is a non‑custodial wallet + Web3 suite designed for Avalanche & broader EVM‑compatible networks. It offers portfolio tracking, token & NFT management, bridging, staking, swaps, and access to decentralized apps. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

With Core, you can view your assets across multiple networks (Avalanche C, P, X Chains; Ethereum; Arbitrum; Base; Optimism, etc.) in one dashboard. This provides a unified view of your spot holdings, DeFi positions, and more. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Spot Assets & Holdings

Token Balances & Transfers

Core App tracks all your spot assets — native tokens (e.g. AVAX, ETH), ERC‑20 / EVM tokens, stablecoins, and more — across supported chains. Your balances update live, and you can send, receive, or swap tokens directly from the wallet. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

NFTs & Collectibles

In addition to fungible tokens, Core shows NFT holdings / collectibles per chain in its Portfolio / Collectibles tab. This gives you a fuller picture of your digital assets. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Perpetuals / Derivative Exposure

Currently, Core App is more focused on spot, staking, swaps, bridging, NFTs, etc. It does not appear to natively host perpetual derivative (perps) trading markets. If you want exposure to derivatives, you would need to connect to external derivative or futures DEXs that integrate with EVM networks or bridge your assets to chains that support perps.

Using Core’s multi‑chain support, you can manage collateral or funds on one chain and use external perps/derivative protocols on another chain, depending on compatibility. But be cautious of risks: smart contract risk, liquidation, and cross‑chain bridging risks.

Lending, Borrowing & Yield Strategies

Core App supports staking (for AVAX) and provides access to DeFi protocols via dApps discovery, where lending and borrowing features may exist. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

You can stake AVAX via Core to earn staking rewards (on P‑Chain for instance) when available. This is similar in nature to “yield” from lending but involves network security / staking reward mechanisms. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

For pure lending/borrowing (like traditional DeFi lending markets), you’d use integrated or external protocols in the EVM ecosystem, then track your positions through Core’s portfolio dashboards. Core consolidates visible token balances, rewards, and staked tokens for you. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What networks does Core App support for tracking portfolios?

Core supports Avalanche C‑, P‑, and X‑Chains; Ethereum; Bitcoin; Arbitrum; Base; Optimism; and numerous Avalanche L1s. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

2. Can I trade perpetuals or derivatives inside Core?

Not natively. Core does not currently provide built‑in perpetual derivatives markets. To access perps, you’ll need to use external protocols or DEXs compatible with derivatives and connect through Core (or via bridging). Always verify contract safety.

3. Does Core allow lending / borrowing of assets?

Core primarily supports staking (e.g. AVAX) and lets you access lending/borrowing through third‑party DeFi apps discovered via its dApp browser. Core tracks your positions, but the lending contracts are outside Core itself.

4. Is Core App non‑custodial and secure?

Yes. Core is non‑custodial: you control your private keys / seed phrase. It supports hardware wallets (Ledger, etc.) via the extension. All transactions are user‑signed. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

5. How do I view my multi‑chain portfolio in Core?

In the Core extension or mobile/web app, go to the Portfolio page. Use the network selector (top right or “Manage Networks”) to add or favourite networks you want visible. Switch between them or view all networks together. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Conclusion

Core App by Ava Labs offers a powerful, unified interface to manage and track crypto portfolios across Avalanche and multiple EVM networks. While it excels at spot holdings, token & NFT tracking, staking, and bridging, derivative (perps) and full lending markets are accessible via external protocols rather than fully native in Core.

For users who want simple, secure oversight of multi‑chain crypto positions with self‑custody, Core is an excellent choice. It simplifies the complexity of switching networks, viewing cross‑chain balances, and managing staking rewards. As DeFi builds out on Avalanche and other EVM chains, features around derivatives and lending may become more deeply integrated in future releases.
