Double-Entry Accounting

Segment Ledgers is built on the principles of double-entry accounting.

Every movement of value generates equal debit and credit entries.

For example, if Alice sends Bob €100:

Transaction
================================
Alice Wallet        Debit   €100
Bob Wallet          Credit  €100
================================
Total Debits  = €100
Total Credits = €100

Because every transaction is balanced, the ledger always remains mathematically correct.

This eliminates many classes of accounting errors and greatly simplifies reconciliation.
