Each vault would contain all the information on amount of hard currency in each individual or corporate account , transactions, withdraws and so on so forth and each guild would use specialized couriers with even more specialized encrypted data vaults to update a centralized database on regularly scheduled occasions to circumvent communication breakdowns. |
Really like that! the value of hard currency being tracked by inter-planet trading, so if a planet is experiencing a recession, the guild would know an lower the value of that planet's holdings or increase it.
