Transactions are where financial value moves. This section covers everything from how balances work to the mechanics of transaction processing, event publishing, and operation tracking.

Here, you’ll find:
  • Balances: The value held by a specific account. Balances reflect the result of all operations over time and support multiple balance keys for advanced fund segmentation — like separating operational, collateral, and credit funds within a single account.
  • Transactions: Complete financial events powered by Midaz’s double-entry accounting system. Every transaction involves debits and credits that must balance before being committed.
  • Transaction amount: How Midaz stores and handles financial values using precise decimal representation, ensuring accuracy across all asset types — from fiat currencies to high-precision crypto tokens.
  • Event publisher: Real-time event publishing for transactional updates. When enabled, every processed transaction emits an event to a dedicated RabbitMQ exchange, allowing external applications to consume them without creating tight dependencies.
  • Transactions DSL: A Domain-Specific Language called gold for structuring financial transactions in readable .gold files. (Deprecated)
  • Operations: The smallest unit of financial activity — a single ledger entry, either a debit or a credit on a specific account. Operations are the building blocks of every transaction.
