A payments network is a system that facilitates the transfer of funds between parties, enabling transactions to be processed and settled. In the digital asset space, this includes blockchain protocols specifically designed for rapid and low-cost value transfers, often leveraging stablecoins or native cryptocurrencies. These networks aim to provide efficient alternatives to traditional financial infrastructure. They are fundamental for enabling commerce and financial interactions within decentralized economies.
