Multi-chain, multi-account - Most users hold and manage tokens across multiple chains, and use different accounts for custody and control (e.g. stash & controller for staking/nomination). Account holders & fund managers do not have affordable tools focused on financial management, reporting and planning.
New processes - Fund and Grant Management is a niche area requiring specialist attention. Managing a fund-in-a-fund is common practice, and we need a toolset to support this.
Governance processes are evolving fast, with new features and capabilities being added all the time. We need aggregated tracking and accounting for funds locked in validating, staking, nomination pools, lending & governance processes (proposal, bounty, childBounty).
Lagging tools slow adoption - Users are mostly dependent on web2 tools and spreadsheets for financial management and reporting. These tools are focused on fiat with 2-decimal computation & reporting.
Affordability - Existing crypto accounting tools are charging large fees.
Parachains - None of the existing solutions cater for parachains.
The goal of the project is to create easy-to-use tools for managing & reporting - in aggregate - across multiple chains and tokens.
Subledgr would like to develop a quickbooks style accounting & reporting platform that can be tied-in with third party vendor tools for the purposes of tax calculation and compliance.
Subledgr would also provide portfolio management and reporting features for working with multiple chains and accounts. We are inspired [and frustrated] by similar features from quickbooks/xero for web2 SME businesses. Following a style that is familiar to web2 users, this site will drive adoption of substrate-based tokens by making it easy to manage groups of wallets as a single fund.
The MVP (Minimum Viable Product) Phase 1 of Subledgr's roadmap includes the following features:
Report on all transactions/extrinsics: Subledgr will provide a report on all transactions and extrinsics that have occurred on the blockchain, giving users a complete view of their cryptocurrency activities.
Categories: Transactions such as transfers between accounts, staking rewards, bond amounts, and fees will be allocated based on the user’s defined Chart of Accounts. This will help users better understand and analyse their cryptocurrency activities.
Categorisation - the basic feature that enables “bank” reconciliation and subsequent reporting
Profit & Loss: Subledgr will produce a Profit & Loss report for a specified period (e.g. week, month, year), including information on the movement of tokens earned and spent, as well as changes in exchange rates (e.g. GBP/USD).
Exchange rates: integration with an oracle for exchange rates
Export to CSV/spreadsheet: Subledgr will allow users to export their data to a CSV or spreadsheet format. This will provide a basis for any tax reporting or other financial analysis.
A user of the system will be able to execute the following processes:
