Ledger fundamentals

Start with the record, then identify the asset.

What you’ll find here.

A useful ledger begins with a clear scope: the network, the asset, the activity, and the evidence supporting each entry. These guides introduce the concepts that make later transaction reviews easier to follow. Start with the broad ledger guide if you are new to the subject, then use the token guide to understand why a ticker or wallet label is not a complete identifier. Together, the articles provide a vocabulary for distinguishing a public blockchain record, a wallet view, and your own explanation of an event. That foundation helps you ask better questions before comparing balances or interpreting a complicated transaction.
