Blockchain settlement is the final confirmation and recording of a transaction on a distributed ledger. This process signifies the irreversible transfer of ownership or value between parties. Once a transaction reaches finality on the blockchain, it cannot be altered or reversed, providing a high degree of certainty. This immutable characteristic is fundamental to the trustless nature of blockchain systems.
