A payments blockchain is a distributed ledger network specifically designed to facilitate digital currency transactions. These blockchains prioritize high transaction throughput, low fees, and rapid finality to support efficient value transfer. They often employ specialized consensus mechanisms and scaling solutions to meet the demands of global payment systems. The primary function is to provide a decentralized and secure infrastructure for sending and receiving digital assets, often across international borders.
