Atomic Settlement Finality

Definition

Atomic settlement finality refers to the irreversible and simultaneous conclusion of all components within a multi-party or multi-asset transaction. This property ensures that either every part of a transaction successfully completes, or none of it does, preventing partial updates or inconsistencies. In distributed ledger technology, it guarantees that once a transaction is recorded, it cannot be reversed or altered. This concept is vital for maintaining data integrity and trust in financial operations.
