# Firebird Finance

rotki decodes Firebird Finance aggregator swaps by re-tagging the spend and receive transfers around the Firebird router as a clean trade pair against the Firebird counterparty.

## Features

- Swap-out and swap-in legs through the Firebird router are paired into a single trade event so the input and output of each swap are linked.
- Each leg is tagged against the Firebird Finance counterparty, so aggregator activity is distinguishable from direct DEX trades in your history.
- Decoded on every chain Firebird currently runs on: Ethereum, Arbitrum One, Optimism, Polygon PoS, and BNB Smart Chain.

## Setup

1. In rotki, add the addresses you use with Firebird on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon PoS, and/or BNB Smart Chain.
2. In rotki, open History and let the initial sync run. Firebird router swaps are decoded automatically into trade pairs.

## FAQ

### Are Firebird trades distinguishable from direct DEX swaps?

Yes. Both legs of a Firebird swap are tagged against the Firebird Finance counterparty, so aggregator routing is visible in your history rather than being attributed to the underlying pools.

### Does rotki read Firebird trades from its own servers?

No. rotki is a local application that talks directly to the RPC endpoint you configure for each chain - the public default, a third-party provider, or your own node. Each query goes from your computer to that endpoint without passing through any rotki-operated server.
