How to Manage Your Memberships

Track your memberships, monitor performance, and optimize your IP collection

Navigate Your Memberships Dashboard

1

Access Your Memberships

Navigate to your memberships by clicking "Memberships" in the main navigation or the dashboard sidebar. You can also go directly to:

ipx.exchange/dashboard
2

Understand the Dashboard Layout

Your memberships dashboard has several key sections:

  • Collection Summary: Total value, 24h change, and all-time performance at the top
  • Allocation Chart: Visual breakdown of your holdings by project
  • Holdings Table: Detailed list of every token you own with live metrics
  • Activity Feed: Recent transactions, member rewards, and project updates
3

Switch Between Views

Toggle between Grid View (visual cards for each holding) and Table View (detailed spreadsheet format) using the view toggle in the top-right corner of the holdings section. Table view is better for comparing metrics across many holdings, while grid view gives a quick visual overview.

Understanding Membership Metrics

Total Collection Value

The combined current market value of all your token holdings, calculated by multiplying each token quantity by its current price. This updates in real-time as prices change.

Performance

Your total gains or losses across all holdings. Calculated as current collection value minus total amount contributed. Shown as both a dollar amount and percentage. Green indicates a gain, red indicates a loss.

Allocation Breakdown

A pie or donut chart showing what percentage of your collection each token represents. Helps you identify concentration risk — if one project dominates your collection, you may be overexposed.

Performance Over Time

A line chart showing your total collection value over different time periods: 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d, 1y, and all-time. Helps you understand trends and evaluate your membership strategy.

Member Rewards Received

Total member rewards you've received across all projects. Broken down by project and time period. This is separate from trading gains — it represents actual income from IP performance.

Viewing Individual Token Holdings

Click on any token in your collection to see detailed information about that specific holding.

What You'll See for Each Token

Quantity held — how many tokens you own
Current value — live market value
Average buy price — your cost basis
Unrealized performance — gains/losses if sold now
Rewards received — total member rewards
Price chart — historical price data
Transaction history — all buys and sells
Quick actions — get more, sell, or transfer

Membership Diversification Strategies

Why Diversify?

IP memberships carry unique risks — a film might underperform, a music release could flop, or a project might face production delays. By spreading your memberships across multiple projects and categories, you reduce the impact of any single project's failure.

Diversify by Category

Spread memberships across different IP types: Film, Music, Digital Content, Gaming, and Publishing. Each category has different risk profiles and revenue timelines.

Example: 30% Film, 25% Music, 20% Digital Content, 15% Gaming, 10% Publishing

Diversify by Stage

Balance between pre-production (higher risk, higher potential), in-production (moderate risk), and revenue-generating (lower risk, proven rewards) projects.

Example: 40% Revenue-generating, 35% In-production, 25% Pre-production

Membership Sizing

A common rule of thumb: no single project should represent more than 15-20% of your total collection. For high-risk early-stage projects, consider limiting exposure to 5-10%. If your allocation chart shows heavy concentration, it's time to rebalance.

Setting Price Alerts & Notifications

1

Navigate to Alerts

Go to your memberships dashboard and click the "Alerts" tab, or click the bell icon next to any token in your holdings. You can also access notification settings from your profile settings.

2

Create a Price Alert

Set alerts for specific price thresholds:

  • Price Above: Get notified when a token reaches a target sell price
  • Price Below: Get alerted to potential buying opportunities or stop-loss triggers
  • Percentage Change: Trigger on any move of ±5%, ±10%, ±20%, etc.
3

Configure Notification Preferences

Choose how you want to be notified:

  • In-app notifications: Badge alerts within the IPX platform
  • Email notifications: Summary emails for price alerts and project updates
  • Member rewards alerts: Notified whenever you receive a payout
  • Project updates: Creator announcements and milestone notifications

Rebalancing Your Holdings

Over time, some tokens will appreciate more than others, causing your allocation to drift from your target. Rebalancing brings your collection back in line.

1

Review Your Current Allocation

Check the allocation pie chart on your dashboard. Compare it to your target allocation. If any single position has grown to represent more than your target percentage, it may be time to trim and redistribute.

2

Identify Overweight and Underweight Holdings

Look for tokens that have significantly outperformed (overweight) or underperformed (underweight) relative to your target. A holding that's grown from 10% to 30% of your collection might be worth trimming, while an underweight holding in a strong project could be worth adding to.

3

Execute Rebalancing Trades

Sell portions of overweight holdings and use the proceeds to get underweight ones. Use the IPX Marketplace for transfers, or sell back to the bonding curve. Consider gas costs (minimal on Base L2) and tax implications before rebalancing.

Tax Reporting Considerations

Disclaimer

This is general information only and does not constitute tax advice. Tax laws vary by jurisdiction and change frequently. Consult a qualified tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.

Transaction History Export

IPX provides a downloadable CSV of all your transactions including buys, sells, and member rewards. Navigate to Settings > Tax & Reporting to generate your transaction history for any date range.

Types of Taxable Events

  • Selling tokens: Capital gains/losses based on cost basis vs sale price
  • Member rewards: May be treated as income in many jurisdictions
  • LP fees earned: Income from providing liquidity
  • Token-to-token trades: May trigger capital gains events

Best Practices

Review Weekly

Check your memberships at least once a week. Look at overall performance, any major price moves, and project updates from creators.

Set Target Allocations

Define your ideal allocation across categories and stages. Use it as a benchmark when rebalancing.

Use Alerts Wisely

Set meaningful alerts at key price levels rather than alerting on every small move. Too many alerts leads to alert fatigue.

Keep Records

Export transaction history quarterly. Good record-keeping makes tax reporting much simpler.

Rebalance Quarterly

Review allocations every 3 months and rebalance if any position has drifted more than 5% from target.

Stay Informed

Follow project updates, read creator announcements, and join community discussions for your holdings.

Troubleshooting

Collection Value Seems Wrong

Problem: Your total collection value doesn't match what you expected.

Solution:

Collection values are calculated in real-time based on current market prices:

  • Token prices fluctuate constantly — the value may have changed since you last checked
  • Member rewards may have been added to your wallet balance
  • Try refreshing the page to ensure you're seeing the latest prices
  • Check if you have pending transactions that haven't settled yet

Missing Token in Your Collection

Problem: A token you purchased doesn't appear in your holdings.

Solution:

This could happen for several reasons:

  • The transaction may still be pending — check transaction status in your activity feed
  • Clear browser cache and reload the dashboard
  • Verify the purchase transaction on the Base block explorer using your wallet address
  • Contact support with the transaction hash if the token doesn't appear after 10 minutes

Performance Calculation Looks Incorrect

Problem: Your performance numbers don't seem to add up.

Solution:

Performance is calculated based on your cost basis:

  • Multiple buys at different prices result in a weighted average cost basis
  • Member rewards are tracked separately from trading performance
  • Gas fees are included in your cost basis for each purchase
  • Check your transaction history for the exact buy prices used in the calculation

Can't Export Transaction History

Problem: The CSV export is not working or the file is empty.

Solution:

Try these fixes:

  • Ensure the date range you selected contains transactions
  • Try a shorter date range if the full history is very large
  • Use a different browser if the download doesn't start
  • Disable popup blockers for ipx.exchange
