Count On Sheep

Crypto tax service specializing in Digital Asset Reconciliation (DAR): cost basis, 1099-DA help, and audit-ready 8949 inputs for Cardano users.

Crypto Taxes Without the Headache

Count On Sheep is a US-based crypto tax service specializing in Digital Asset Reconciliation (DAR), led by a former Big 4 team. We were founded in 2022 to solve the problem every serious crypto investor hits at tax time: the numbers in your wallets and exchanges don't translate cleanly onto IRS Form 8949, Schedule D, or Schedule 1. Crypto tax software helps, but only when every transaction is categorized correctly, and getting there is where most people (and most accountants) get stuck.

What We Do for Cardano Users

Cardano portfolios are exactly the kind of activity that breaks DIY tax software: ADA staking rewards epoch after epoch, native tokens, NFT mints and trades, DeFi positions, and transfers across wallets and exchanges. We untangle all of it:

Cost basis reconstruction across every wallet, exchange, and chain, including ADA and Cardano native assets
Staking reward income tracking for ADA delegation rewards
NFT and native token reconciliation (mints, trades, royalties)
Form 1099-DA reconciliation against your actual on-chain records
Audit-ready Form 8949, Schedule D, and Schedule 1 inputs

How It Works

We are crypto-native and software-agnostic. We work inside the leading crypto tax platforms: we are preferred partners with Koinly and CoinTracker, and we also work in Summ, Awaken, CoinLedger, CoinTracking, and more. When we finish, you get clean, defensible numbers you can trust.

Then you choose: keep your own CPA and hand them finished schedules, or file yourself on TurboTax. We do the hard reconciliation work; you keep control of your filing.

Wallets

If you’re searching for where to store Cardano, ada, you’ve come to the right page. The best cardano wallet is a hotly debated topic in the Cardano community, and there are many types of Cardano wallet, all listed here, available to users. The only Cardano desktop wallet available is Daedalus, a full node wallet that downloads the complete Cardano blockchain, ~100GB.

By far the most popular type of wallet is a Cardano light wallet and there are many of these for you to choose from. The second most popular type of wallet is a Cardano web wallet. Most Cardano wallets will show the Cardano price, and a few have even the integrated the ability for you to buy Cardano, ada, directly in the wallet!

Almost all the wallets listed above allow you participate in the Cardano staking protocol, Ouroboros, where you can help to secure the network and earn passive income in the form of staking rewards. Many of the wallets listed above will also allow you to search for which pool to stake your Cardano, ada, to right in the wallet itself.

Finally, there are multiple Cardano cold storage wallets for you to choose from. There are five hardware wallets that offer native support for where to store ada, and two of them, the Ledger and Trezor are supported by multiple light wallets allowing you to use your favorite interface to keep your coins secure in cold storage.

On-Chain

These are all the on-chain NFTs, and on-chain NFT collections, that currently exist on Cardano. Many people consider on-chain NFTs to be better, or more special, than off-chain NFTs.

In regards to the on-chain vs off-chain NFT argument, the image represented by an off-chain NFT is found by following a link, typically stored on the IPFS, from the NFTs metadata. This can be changed by the person who uploaded it. The image represented by an on-chain NFT is coded into the metadata and is, therefore, immutably coded into the blockchain's history. This is usually, but not always, in the form a language that your browser understands, allowing your browser to interpret that information and display the NFT.

NFT

If you’re looking for a Cardano NFT then you’ve found the place for you! listed here are all the projects that feature NFTs in some form on Cardano. NFTs are no longer just the PFP collections that made them famous, although many do still exists and you can find Cardano NFT projects here, NFTs are assets with multiple different types of utility, depending on which project’s NFTs your buying.

A Cardano NFT is a native asset on Cardano which means that, unlike on other (specifically EVM-based) chains, an NFT is not managed by a smart contract, meaning that it behaves and is managed differently to the chain’s base asset, ada. On Cardano NFTs behave the same as the chains base asset as they are native to the chain.

On this page you’ll find everything from Cardano NFT projects to DeFi projects and decentralized identity (DID) solutions that have incorporated NFTs, to the Cardano NFT marketplaces you can use to purchase NFTs.

DeFi

Here are all the Cardano DeFi projects complete with descriptions and tags. If you’re looking for a Cardano DeFi exchange, a lending protocol, a launchpad, a Cardano stablecoin, or platforms on which to tokenize real world assets then you’ve come to the right place. The Cardano DeFi ecosystem is maturing and, as it does, we will continue to list the new Cardano DeFi projects here. If you look at Cardano in 5 years this list will be substantially different, some projects will have left it, but many many more will have been added.

If you’re looking to simply swap Cardano native tokens then a Cardano DEX is your best choice. If you’re looking to utilize your crypto holdings for a loan then take a look at all the Cardano lending and borrowing platforms on offer and choose which one fits your needs.
