TigerBeetle

Founded 2022

Process and track high-throughput financial transactions using a specialized distributed ledger database

You can use TigerBeetle to process high-volume financial transactions and balance tracking with strict serializability. It provides a specialized database engine built specifically for debit and credit accounting, preventing double-spending and balance errors directly in the storage layer. Developers can execute thousands of financial transfers in a single batch query without contention bottlenecks. The system enforces double-entry bookkeeping rules automatically, supports two-phase commits with timeouts, and offers high write throughput with predictable low latency for digital payments, banking, and real-time billing architectures.
