Formance Ledger

Formance Ledger (fka numary) is a programmable financial ledger that provides a foundation for money-moving applications. The ledger provides atomic multi-postings transactions and is programmable in Numscript, a built-in language dedicated to money movements. It can be used either as a standalone micro-service or as part of the greater Formance Stack, and will shine for apps that require a lot of custom, money-moving code, e.g:

• E-commerce with complex payments flows, payments splitting, such as marketplaces
• Company-issued currencies systems, e.g. Twitch Bits
• In-game currencies, inventories and trading systems, e.g. Fortnite V-Bucks
• Payment gateways using non-standard assets, e.g. learning credits
• Local currencies and complementary finance

Formance Ledger works as a standalone binary, the latest of which can be downloaded from the releases page. You can move the binary to any executable path, such as to /usr/local/bin. Installations using brew, apt, yum or docker are also available.
