Overview

Ledger is designed around one idea: your crypto activity should have the same accounting rigour as your business finances.

Every transaction you make — a swap, a transfer, a CEX trade — generates at least two ledger entries. This double-entry model means you always know where value came from and where it went. No mystery balances, no missing basis.
