# Rectar

*/Startups/Rectar*

## Startup Overview

Finance teams managing digital assets lose critical time deciphering unstructured blockchain transactions to update traditional accounting software. This infrastructure ingests raw on-chain transfer data and automatically translates it into standard fiat journal entries. It links wallet activity directly to general ledgers, removing the need for manual data entry and intermediate spreadsheet formatting.

While alternative sub-ledger tools require complex dashboard management or flat enterprise licensing fees, this solution runs as a fully API-native engine to sync data directly into existing accounting software. The billing model aligns explicitly with accurate data outcomes, charging strictly per successful ledger match. Finance departments incur costs only when a digital asset transfer is permanently mapped and recorded in their fiat system.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting the complete elimination of month-end manual spreadsheet reconciliation for mid-sized Web3 agencies.
- Designed to process and map 10,000+ daily on-chain transactions into standardized fiat ledger entries.
- Aiming to reduce external audit prep time by up to 80% for startups holding digital assets on their balance sheets.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Pay-As-You-Go · Price: ~$0.15–$0.25 per successful match · Inclusions: Standard REST API access and intended CSV ingestion for low-volume wallets, capped at 5,000 automated ledger entries per month.
- Name: Volume Scaling · Price: ~$0.05–$0.09 per successful match · Inclusions: Intended direct connectors for standard ERPs (e.g., Xero, QuickBooks) and support for up to 100,000 programmatic journal entries per month.
- Name: Institutional · Price: Custom minimums (~$0.01–$0.03 per match) · Inclusions: Unlimited transaction matching, intended multi-entity ledger routing, and dedicated infrastructure for high-frequency trading desks.
**Guarantee**: You are billed strictly for zero-touch programmatic reconciliation; if a digital asset transfer fails to map to a standard fiat journal entry and requires manual intervention, that transaction is completely free.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Our on-chain transaction volume spikes wildly during bull runs; this could blow out our budget. Rebuttal: Volume tiers automatically discount your per-match rates during high-frequency periods to ensure predictable cost scaling.
- Objection: How do we know it correctly categorizes complex transactions like gas fees and DeFi yields? Rebuttal: The API is designed to parse smart contract metadata to automatically split fees, principal, and yield into separate, auditor-ready line items.
- Objection: We use a highly customized enterprise ERP setup, not out-of-the-box accounting software. Rebuttal: Rectar is built API-first, allowing your developers to map our standardized reconciliation output directly to your custom ledger schema.
