Netting Procedures

Definition

Netting procedures are a financial practice where multiple mutual obligations between two or more parties are offset against each other, resulting in a single, smaller net payment or settlement. In digital asset transactions, netting can significantly reduce the number of individual transfers and the total value of assets that need to be moved on-chain. This process enhances efficiency, reduces settlement risk, and optimizes liquidity utilization, particularly in high-volume trading environments. It streamlines the clearing and settlement of obligations.
