Common accounting treatments on World Chain

  • Gas fees: typically expensed; capitalize when attributable to asset acquisition.
  • Swaps: disposal + acquisition with fair value at execution.
  • Staking rewards: recognize income upon receipt; track tax lots for disposals.
  • LP positions: record deposits/withdrawals; value positions to capture P/L.
