Systems and methods for direct ledger reporting of user equipment (UE) data usage for telecommunications networks are provided. Embodiments of the present disclosure, at least in part, assess telecommunications network data usage by decentralizing the tasks of monitoring and collecting data regarding the types and quantity of data usage, delegating those tasks to data usage record synthesizers that are instantiated at, or close to, the point and/or device where the data is being consumed. In some embodiments, assessing data usage may include determining a classification of an instance of UE network data usage based on data packet traffic; determining ledger record data for inclusion in one or more fields of a ledger record based on the classification; generating a ledger record based on the one or more fields of ledger record data; and transmitting the ledger record via the telecommunications network for recording to an immutable data usage ledger.
