 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## [2.0.0] - Unreleased
+
+### Added
+
+- **BREAKING**: Double-entry accounting support with Posting entity
+- New `Posting` interface representing individual debit/credit entries
+- Custom validation keyword `balancedPostings` for sum-zero validation
+- Comprehensive double-entry validation tests
+- Double-entry examples in documentation and example files
+- Support for split transactions (3+ postings)
+- Signed integer amounts for proper debit/credit representation
+
+### Changed
+
+- **BREAKING**: Transaction schema now uses `postings` array instead of `payorId`, `payeeId`, and `amount`
+- **BREAKING**: RecurringTransaction schema now uses `postings` array
+- **BREAKING**: Amount fields changed from decimal numbers to signed integers (minor units)
+- Updated all test utilities to generate balanced postings
+- Updated example JSON files with double-entry transactions
+- Enhanced README with double-entry accounting examples and concepts
+
+### Removed
+
+- **BREAKING**: `payorId` field from Transaction interface
+- **BREAKING**: `payeeId` field from Transaction interface
+- **BREAKING**: `amount` field from Transaction interface (replaced by postings)
+- **BREAKING**: `payorId`, `payeeId`, and `amount` from RecurringTransaction interface
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+To migrate from v1.x to v2.0:
+
+1. Replace `payorId`, `payeeId`, and `amount` with `postings` array
+2. Convert amounts from decimal to integer (multiply by 100 for cents)
+3. Create at least 2 postings per transaction (debit and credit)
+4. Ensure posting amounts sum to zero
+5. Use positive amounts for debits, negative for credits
+
+**Before (v1.x):**
+
+```typescript
+{
+  payorId: 'checking-account',
+  payeeId: 'grocery-store',
+  amount: 65.32
+}
+```
+
+**After (v2.0):**
+
+```typescript
+{
+  postings: [
+    { accountId: 'groceries-expense', amount: 6532, order: 0 },
+    { accountId: 'checking-account', amount: -6532, order: 1 }
+  ];
+}
+```

+## Double-Entry Accounting
+
+LucaSchema uses double-entry accounting principles where every transaction consists of multiple postings (debits and credits) that must balance to zero.
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+- **Postings**: Individual debit or credit entries that make up a transaction
+- **Signed Amounts**: Positive values represent debits, negative values represent credits
+- **Balance Rule**: The sum of all posting amounts in a transaction must equal zero
+- **Minor Units**: All amounts are stored as integers in minor units (e.g., cents for USD)
+
+### Example Transactions
+
+#### Simple Expense
+
+```typescript
+// Expense: Groceries $65.32
+{
+  postings: [
+    { accountId: 'groceries-expense', amount: 6532, order: 0 }, // Dr Groceries
+    { accountId: 'checking-account', amount: -6532, order: 1 } // Cr Checking
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+#### Income
+
+```typescript
+// Income: Salary $2000
