A single distributed ledger of transactions.
Ledger is a database that is distributed across multiple network nodes or computing devices. Each node receives data from other nodes and maintains a complete copy of the ledger. The nodes are updated independently of each other.
Ledger is a mechanism which provides calculating and storage of balances and other changes caused by accepted transactions. For example, it marks spent transaction outputs and stores calculated [[Token]] ticker.
At this moment ledger contains three datum types, related to financial aspects:
- [[Token|tokens]]
- [[Emission|emissions]]
- [[5. Transactions Structure|transactions]]
Ledger stores indexes of these datums and additional information which can be viewed through command - [[Node Command - LEDGER INFO]]
