Multi-Chain Settlement

Definition

Multi-chain settlement refers to the finalization of transactions involving digital assets across two or more distinct blockchain networks. This process enables the atomic exchange or transfer of value between different ledgers, ensuring that either all parts of the transaction complete successfully or none do. It addresses the siloed nature of individual blockchains, allowing for greater liquidity and interoperability within the broader digital asset landscape. Technologies like atomic swaps, cross-chain bridges, and specialized protocols facilitate this complex coordination, enhancing the utility of diverse digital assets.
