General Magic <> Giveth Accounting
Intercharges of hours costs and expenses between GM and Giveth:
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Closed out GM <> Giveth interchanges & transfer debt to Griff | -$33,643.62 |
| Credit balance, April 2026 | $33,643.62 |
| Credit balance, May 2026 (Giveth to Pay GM) | 0.00 |
In May 2026, the GM <> Giveth credit balance is being closed out. To streamline accounting, the outstanding debt balance has been transferred to Griff. This brings the GM <> Giveth account to zero, and Giveth will now owe this amount directly to Griff.
