The central ledger is a series of services that facilitate clearing and settlement of transfers between DFSPs, including the following functions:

  • Brokering real-time messaging for funds clearing
  • Maintaining net positions for a deferred net settlement
  • Propagating scheme-level and off-transfer fees

The following documentation represents the services, APIs and endpoints responsible for various ledger functions.
