Fake crypto dashboard: a portfolio screen for videos, demos and mockups
A fake crypto dashboard is a portfolio screen with numbers you chose: a total, a day change, a list of holdings. How it differs from a Figma mockup and a paper-trading app, what makes it believable, and why a labeled prop is not the fake dashboards that scammers run.
Published:
A fake crypto dashboard is a portfolio screen whose numbers you chose: a total balance, a 24-hour change and a list of holdings. It is not connected to any wallet or exchange. It suits videos, decks, classes and product demos, where it should be labeled a mockup. Shown as a real balance, it is never proof.
What a fake crypto dashboard is
A fake crypto dashboard is a crypto portfolio screen that shows numbers you chose. It looks like the home screen of a wallet or an exchange app: one large total, a change over the day, a list of tokens with their quantities and values. Nothing on it is read from a chain. The word fake describes the source of the data, not a trick.
A larp wallet, also called a crypto wallet app simulator, is an app that shows a believable crypto wallet screen built from the balances you type in, for videos, skits, pitch decks and demos. It holds no funds and touches no blockchain.
People search the phrase for a few different reasons, and the right tool depends on which.
| What you need | Right tool | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A design that does not exist yet | A Figma file or UI kit | Cheap to change every day, but it is a picture of a design, not a running screen (Figma mockup vs real screenshot) |
| To practice trading without risk | A paper-trading account | It simulates orders and positions with virtual money. It is not meant to look like someone's wallet (demo account vs wallet simulator) |
| A believable wallet or portfolio screen on a real phone | A wallet simulator | It draws the screen from your numbers, with live prices, for recording or presenting |
| A screen to show a stranger that you have funds | None of the above | No image does that. Funds are verified on a block explorer (proof of funds in crypto) |
The rest of this page is about the third row.
What makes a fake crypto dashboard believable
A dashboard is believed or doubted in a second, and the doubt comes from arithmetic. Four things have to hold.
- Rows are quantity times price. If 2 SOL is shown next to a value, the value is 2 times the SOL price on screen.
- The total is the sum of the rows, plus any cash. A total typed on its own that does not match the list is the first tell a sharp viewer finds (five tells in a wallet screenshot).
- The day change follows the market. If bitcoin was down on the day and the big total is up, the rows have to explain it. Live prices do this for you.
- The list is sorted the way real apps sort it: by value, largest first, with small holdings and stablecoins in their natural places.
How to build a portfolio that passes this test is in a crypto portfolio mockup that adds up, and how to land near a specific total is in the fake crypto balance simulator.
What ours draws, and what it does not
My Larp Wallet is one such tool, made by us, so read this as a maker's note. It draws a wallet home screen: an account name and avatar, the total, the 24-hour change, a cash card, and a token list. SOL, ETH, BTC, HYPE and USDC use live prices, refreshed every few seconds; any other token is a custom row at the price you type. Tapping a token opens its page with a price chart. You add it to your phone's home screen from Safari or Chrome, and record it with the phone's own screen recorder.
What it is not: an exchange terminal. There is no order book, no order entry, no trade history and no profit and loss curve. If your project needs a trading screen, this is the wrong tool, and the larp trading screen page explains why staged trading screens are a different and riskier thing. It is also not a wallet: it holds no funds, has no seed phrase and receives nothing.
It is a paid product, and the price on the site varies by visitor, so none is quoted here. The wallet is visible before you pay.
Where a fake crypto dashboard earns its place
- Video and skits. A screen in a scene, or a reveal. See recording a wallet screen for video.
- Pitch decks and product demos. A believable screen with nobody's money on it (wallet simulators for product teams).
- Classes. A wallet to point at while you explain what the numbers mean.
- Privacy. Creators who want to show how a portfolio looks without showing their own.
In every one of these, a small "Mockup" tag in the frame, or a line in the caption, costs nothing and does the work.
The fake dashboards that are fraud
A second kind of fake dashboard runs on a website. The US FTC reported in June 2022 that people who lost crypto to bogus investments described investment sites and apps that let them track the growth of their holdings, and that it was all fake. The same data spotlight found that nearly half of the people who reported a crypto scam since 2021 said it started with an ad, post or message on social media. 404 Media reported in July 2026 on influencers who use fake YouTube, OnlyFans and Stripe dashboards as proof of riches to sell courses. The US CFTC's advisory adds the shape of the pitch: posts that may feature screenshots of winning trades or huge account balances.
The screen in a scam and the screen in a skit can look the same. The difference is the claim. A prop is labeled and shown to people who know. A scam is shown as real to someone deciding whether to send money. Never use a made screen as proof of funds, a result or a track record. Our terms forbid it, and fraud law does not care which tool drew the picture.
If you are on the receiving end, the habit to build is simple: never trust a number on a screen the other person controls, and never send crypto to see a balance grow. How to verify properly is in fake crypto investment sites and crypto scam awareness training.

Questions
What is a fake crypto dashboard?
A portfolio or wallet overview built from numbers you enter instead of data read from a chain or an exchange. It looks like the home screen of a crypto app, with a total, a day change and a token list, and it connects to nothing. Used openly, it is a prop or a mockup.
What is a fake crypto dashboard used for?
Videos and skits, pitch decks, lessons about how wallets look, product demos and design reviews, anywhere a screen is needed without anyone's real balance on it. It is also a way to show a wallet on camera without exposing your own holdings.
Is a fake crypto dashboard the same as a paper-trading app?
No. A paper-trading app lets you practice buying and selling with simulated money. TradingView describes its paper trading as a tool for practicing with simulated money, with execution identical to real trading. A fake dashboard does not trade; it only shows numbers you typed.
Is there a fake crypto dashboard app?
Yes, in the sense of tools that compose a portfolio screen. Ours is a web app added to the home screen: you type quantities, five tokens follow live prices, and the total and day change are computed from the rows. It is paid, and it holds no funds.
Can I use a fake crypto dashboard to show I made money?
No. It proves nothing, and presenting it as a real balance, statement or result is prohibited by our terms. Real results are documents a third party produced, such as a broker or exchange statement.
Are fake dashboards how crypto investment scams work?
Often, yes. The FTC reported in 2022 that people who lost crypto to bogus investments described sites and apps that let them track the growth of their crypto, and that it was all fake. The difference with a prop is the claim: a scam shows the screen as real to someone deciding whether to send money.
Is a Figma mockup better than a fake crypto dashboard?
They answer different needs. A Figma mockup is the right tool when the design does not exist yet and must change daily. A composed dashboard is right when you need a believable screen on a real phone, with live prices, today.
Compose the screen instead of describing it
Your tokens, your amounts, your accent, laid out in the browser, then opened on your phone at your own address. A mockup, and we never pretend otherwise.
- Unlimited tokens, amounts and accents
