Team collaboration

Bring the whole team into your ledger.

Invite teammates. Let finance, operations, and other teams see data, investigate issues, and run workflows on their own.

Set roles and permissions so every teammate gets the right level of visibility and control.

## Built for developers who move money

Here's the idea. If you build features that send, receive or hold value: money, assets, stocks, tokens, etc. — Blnk's got you covered.

### Frequently asked questions

Do I still need to run my own Core?

Yes. Cloud connects to your self-hosted Core instance. You keep full control of your data, while Cloud adds visibility and operations on top.

Is Cloud required to use Core?

No. Core works on its own as open-source software. Cloud is optional if you want dashboards, collaboration, and built-in monitoring without building these features yourself.

Does Cloud store my ledger data?

No. Your ledger data stays in your own Core instance. Cloud streams it securely so you can monitor and manage your ledger.

Is there a free trial for Blnk Cloud?

No. Blnk Cloud does not offer trial plans. If you'd like to explore Cloud for your Core, we recommend getting started with the Developer or Lite plan.

Does Cloud include managed hosting for Core?

No, it does not. If you'd like to subscribe to a managed hosting service, please [contact us.](/content/contact/us/index.html)
