Building Digital Wallets: Architecture, Balance Calculations, and Implementation Strategies (Sponsor)

Most teams burn months building wallet infrastructure, then discover their homegrown ledger breaks at scale. This technical guide from Modern Treasury shows you how to skip the pain: 

  • Architecture that scales: FBO accounts, virtual accounts, double-entry ledgers.
  • Technical implementation details: production-ready API calls to create ledgers, record transactions, and query balances.
  • From zero to launch: designing a wallet flow from onboarding to payouts.

Stop building ledger infrastructure. Start shipping wallet features. Download the guide and launch faster.
