Formance Ledger

Formance Ledger is a real-time money tracking microservice that lets you model and record complex financial transactions. It offers atomic, multi-posting transactions and is programmable using Numscript, a dedicated DSL (Domain Specific Language) to model and templatize such transactions.

info

We assume here that the ledger service is running as part of the Formance Platform. If you are running it standalone from source, you will need to adapt the instructions accordingly.
