Rotki: Why it’s Open Source and Local-First and Why Should You Care?
summary
Rotki is an open‑source, local‑first portfolio tracker and accounting app that keeps private data in an encrypted local DB using SQLCipher, runs a Python backend with an Electron front end and supports Ethereum, Bitcoin, Avalanche, Polkadot/Kusama and some CEX extensions. The team is seven people; funding comes from Bitcoin grants plus a €10/month premium and donations. To avoid Etherscan privacy leaks Rotki urges running a full node or using TrueBlocks; reliance on The Graph adds maintenance fragility.
