Introduction
PacSpace provides usage-based settlement infrastructure. Record financial deltas, derive balances, and verify agreement between counterparties.
PacSpace Balance API is usage-based settlement infrastructure. It gives you a simple, reliable way to record financial changes between parties, compute running balances, and verify that both sides agree — all through a straightforward REST API.
No servers to manage. No reconciliation spreadsheets. No late-night debugging of ledger mismatches. Four API calls to verified settlement.
Core Capabilities
| Capability | What It Does | API Call |
|---|---|---|
| Emit | Record a credit or debit delta between two parties | POST /api/v1/balance/delta |
| Derive | Compute a running balance from all verified deltas | GET /api/v1/balance/derive/:customerId |
| Compare | Check your balance against a counterparty's — find discrepancies instantly | POST /api/v1/balance/compare |
| Checkpoint | Lock a period-end proof root over all verified deltas for auditable settlement | POST /api/v1/balance/checkpoint |
How It Works
- You emit deltas — every time money moves, usage accrues, or a charge applies, you record it as a signed delta (positive or negative).
- We derive balances — PacSpace maintains an immutable, ordered log of deltas and computes the current balance on demand.
- Both sides verify — each counterparty can independently check that their view of the balance matches. Discrepancies surface immediately, not at month-end.
- You checkpoint at period-end — lock a tamper-evident proof root over all verified deltas for a billing window. Include the proof in invoices so your counterparty can independently audit the period.
Every delta is cryptographically anchored, meaning it cannot be altered or deleted after the fact. You get a tamper-proof audit trail without building any of the underlying infrastructure yourself.
Why PacSpace
- Zero infrastructure — no databases to configure, no event buses to wire up, no reconciliation jobs to schedule.
- Real-time verification — stop waiting until the end of the billing cycle to discover mismatches.
- Immutable record — every delta is permanently recorded and independently verifiable.
- Usage-based pricing — you pay for what you use. No seat licenses, no upfront commitments.
- Four calls to settlement — emit, derive, compare, checkpoint. That's the entire integration surface.
