The ledger

One auditable ledger

Every balance on Yocto Capitals is derived, never stored by hand. It is the running total of an append-only, double-entry transaction log — the same primitive banks have used for centuries, made transparent.

The core primitive

01 — Properties

Deposits, returns, commissions and withdrawals are all just signed entries appended to one log. Balances are computed from that log, so they can always be re-derived and proven. Three properties hold for every entry.

  • Atomic

    A balance change and its transaction entry land together, inside one database transaction, or not at all.

  • Idempotent

    A retried publish or replayed webhook can never double-credit — idempotency keys deduplicate the write.

  • Auditable

    Every entry stores a signed amount and a balance-after snapshot, so any state can be re-derived and proven.

How the ledger behaves

02 — Guarantees
  1. 01

    Balances are derived, never stored

    Your balance is not a number someone can edit. It is the running total of an append-only, double-entry transaction log — the same primitive banks have used for centuries, made transparent. Because the total is computed from the log, it can always be recomputed and reconciled against every entry that produced it.

  2. 02

    Corrections are new entries, not edits

    Nothing in the log is ever changed in place. If something needs to be corrected, a new, offsetting entry is appended. The original stays exactly where it was, so the full history remains intact and every past state of the account is reconstructable forever.

  3. 03

    One log for every money movement

    Deposits, weekly returns, IB commissions and withdrawals are all just signed entries on the same log. There is no separate, hand-maintained balance to drift out of sync — a single source of truth carries the entire money story of the account.

  4. 04

    Reviewed, then published

    Returns and commissions are drafted, reviewed, and only credited on publish, each via an idempotent entry tied back to its origin. Large withdrawals require two distinct approvers before settlement — the ledger records the hold, the approval and the settlement as distinct, provable steps.

The money lifecycle

03 — On the log
  • Deposit

    A confirmed deposit is credited through the ledger, creating a permanent, signed entry. An idempotency key means a double-submit can never double-credit.

  • Return

    Published weekly returns append an idempotent credit tied back to the originating return batch — never an auto-applied mutation.

  • Commission

    IB commissions follow the same draft → review → publish loop and post as their own entries, feeding tier progress.

  • Withdrawal

    Requesting a withdrawal holds funds (available → locked) without changing the total; payout settles the debit atomically, a rejection releases the hold.
