How Infinity Rising Cut 30 Hours of Monthly Accounting Work with SoftLedger's API
About Infinity Rising
Infinity Rising is a game studio building a cross-chain crypto gaming experience. Their primary game is a large-scale open-world multiplayer open-world in Unreal Engine 5, with an Alpha release on Steam this year. Designed for mainstream players first, the game includes optional, seamless blockchain features, a live cross-chain RISE token, player-owned assets, seasonal rewards, and proprietary decentralized node technology.

Infinity Rising – a multiplayer open-world game
The Challenge
With a token live on multiple blockchains and a complex international entity structure, the team needed accounting software that could handle multi-entity management and foreign currency alongside crypto-native workflows.
As a startup, enterprise solutions like NetSuite were out of budget. Meanwhile, platforms like QuickBooks and Xero required managing each entity in separate instances, which was a dealbreaker for a team that needed consolidated visibility across all five entities.
Beyond the core accounting, getting blockchain transaction data into any system was a persistent headache. The team cycled through multiple crypto transaction platforms over the years. Some handled Cardano well but suffered from reliability issues — random outages and week-long delays. Others promised full Cardano support but took months to deliver, and the results were never quite clean enough to use directly.
The real bottleneck was the manual bridge between these external tools and the accounting system. Ben Jones, who manages the company’s finances, estimated that exporting data, reformatting it through a custom SQL database, and cleaning up messy edge cases like bridge transactions and complex trades consumed 20 to 30 hours every month.
Why SoftLedger
Infinity Rising chose SoftLedger roughly three years ago because it offered multi-entity consolidation and multi-currency support without the overhead of an enterprise software platform. Plus, SoftLedger offers crypto accounting natively integrated into the general ledger. The price point was right for a startup, and the team valued the ability to partner with a smaller, responsive company and grow alongside the product.

The Solution: API-Driven Automation
With the rise of AI-assisted development and workflow automation tools, Ben saw an opportunity to eliminate the manual bottleneck entirely. Using N8N (an automated workflow platform) and SoftLedger’s API, he built a custom pipeline that connects the Cardano blockchain directly to SoftLedger — no middleman required.
Here’s how it works:
- Pull configuration from SoftLedger. The workflow starts by querying the SoftLedger tenant to retrieve wallet addresses, vendors, and other reference data. This means the workflow is dynamically driven by what’s already in SoftLedger — add a new Cardano staking address in the wallet section, and the automation picks it up automatically.
- Fetch transactions from the blockchain. Using Blockfrost (a Cardano API), the workflow pulls transaction data for all relevant addresses.
- Handle Cardano’s UTXO complexity. Cardano’s transaction model uses inputs and outputs (UTXOs), which can create misleading data — for example, funds moving between addresses under the same staking key. The workflow nets these out so that internal shuffling shows as zero-impact, keeping the books clean.
- Format and deduplicate. The data is reformatted to match SoftLedger’s import structure, then checked against recent transactions already in the system to avoid duplicates.
- Push to SoftLedger via API. The final, clean data is pushed directly into SoftLedger — automatically, every day.
The result is a system that’s portable and reusable. Because it pulls its configuration from the connected SoftLedger tenant, the same workflow could theoretically be connected to a different tenant and work out of the box.
Results
- ~30 hours/month saved on manual data formatting, export/import cycles, and cleanup
- Daily automated transaction ingestion from the Cardano blockchain into SoftLedger
- Eliminated third-party crypto transaction tools and the reliability issues that came with them
- Scalable setup — new wallet addresses are automatically picked up by the workflow
- Cleaner data — UTXO netting and deduplication happen before anything hits the books
What’s Next
Ben has expanded to automate data ingestion from a couple more sources:
- All EVM transactions for their EVM wallets in Fireblocks and self-custody wallets
- All Kraken transactions for their business account (this was another headache because trades were always partially filled, causing inconsistent data)
He’s also working on an additional automation step to handle transaction categorization, automatically assigning vendor numbers and ledger accounts based on wallet and transaction data. The goal: push the process even closer to fully hands-off.
