Holdings & Portfolio
A holding is the optional amount you tell Prysm you actually own
of a token on your watchlist. Adding one doesn’t change anything
about the token itself — it just powers the /portfolio rollup,
where every holding is multiplied by the current price and summed
into a single total.
What a holding is
Section titled “What a holding is”Every token on your watchlist has an optional amount-held field. By default it’s empty. Once you set it, two things become true:
- The token shows up in
/portfolio. - Its row there displays your amount, the live USD value (amount × current price), and the equivalent in the chain’s native token where applicable.
Setting a holding doesn’t add the token to your watchlist on its
own — it does both at once. If you /setholding a contract you
weren’t tracking yet, Prysm adds it to the watchlist and stores
the amount in one step.
Set a holding
Section titled “Set a holding”The command takes a contract address and an amount:
/setholding <contract_address> <amount>Concrete example:
/setholding 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 100.5You’ll get back a confirmation:
Token: USDC Amount: 100.5000 Use /portfolio to see your holdings!
A few details worth knowing:
- The amount accepts decimals —
0.42,1500,100.5all work. - Sending the same command again with a different number overwrites the previous amount. There’s no add/subtract, just set.
- Setting the amount to
0clears the holding (same effect as/clearholding).
If you’d rather tap than type, paste the contract address into the chat first — when Prysm shows the token info, one of the inline buttons is Set Holding, which prompts you for the amount.
View your portfolio
Section titled “View your portfolio”Send /portfolio in DM to see every token you’ve set a holding
for, with live values:
3 tokens with holdings 🔹 100.50 USDC = 0.0312 ETH ($100.50) MCap: $32.4B 🟢 +0.01% 🪙 5,420 BONK = 0.085 SOL ($14.32) MCap: $1.8B 🔴 -3.1% 🔸 0.5000 CAKE = 0.004 BNB ($1.21) MCap: $412M 🟢 +2.4% Total: $116.03
Reading top to bottom:
- Each row starts with the chain emoji, your amount, and the token ticker. The ticker links straight to your chosen chart provider.
- After the
=is the equivalent in that chain’s native token (ETH, SOL, BNB, etc.), followed by the USD value in parentheses. - The second line of each entry shows the token’s market cap and 24-hour price change.
- The bold Total at the bottom is the sum of every USD value above it.
Two buttons sit underneath the message:
- 🔄 Refresh — re-fetches every price and rebuilds the message in place.
- 📋 Full List — switches to the detailed
/listview, in case you want to manage tokens without holdings as well.
If you haven’t set any holdings yet, /portfolio returns a hint
telling you how to add one rather than an empty list.
Clear a holding
Section titled “Clear a holding”To remove the amount on a single token while keeping it on your watchlist:
/clearholding <contract_address>Example:
/clearholding 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48You’ll see:
✅ Holdings cleared for USDC
The token still appears in /list and is still subject to your
alerts — only the amount-held is wiped, so it drops out of
/portfolio. To remove the token from the watchlist entirely,
use /remove instead.
How values are calculated
Section titled “How values are calculated”For every row in /portfolio, Prysm multiplies your amount by
the current price pulled from the same source /list uses. The
totals are a straight sum of those USD values across every chain
in your portfolio — there’s no separate per-chain breakdown.
Prices update on each /portfolio call (and again whenever you
tap 🔄 Refresh), so the total reflects the moment you last
ran the command, not a stale snapshot. If a token has a
temporarily missing price, its row says (price unavailable) and
it’s skipped from the total rather than counted as zero.
Holdings vs /bagcost
Section titled “Holdings vs /bagcost”Holdings answer “what am I worth right now, given what I already
own?” They’re a personal record you maintain. /bagcost answers
a different question — “what would it cost me to acquire X% of
this token’s supply at current prices?” — and never touches your
watchlist or holdings. Use one to track your existing position,
the other to size up a new one.
