Blockchain payments are transactions conducted using cryptocurrencies or other digital assets recorded on a distributed ledger. These transactions leverage blockchain technology to facilitate peer-to-peer transfers without intermediaries. The process typically involves cryptographic verification and immutable record-keeping. Such payments offer potential benefits including reduced fees, faster cross-border transfers, and enhanced transparency.
