Account Setup & Funding Models

zerohash supports two core liquidity models. Each model defines the method in which USD will be ledgered for your platform.

Account Setup

Float Account Model

• Platforms manage customers USD balance on their ledger.
• Customers buy trades are pre-funded from a float account that is ledgered to the platform.
• Customers sell trades are credited to a float account that is ledgered to the platform.
• Platforms are expected to perform daily settlement via our payments rails, which replenishes the platform credit account.
  • An error is returned on on buy trades when the platform float has an insufficient balance.

Customer Pre-funded Model

• Customers USD balances are tracked on the zerohash ledger.
• Customers buy trades are funded from the account that is ledgered to the customer.
• Customers sell trades are credited to the account that is ledgered to the customer.
