Real-World Payments

Definition

Real-world payments signify transactions involving the exchange of value for goods or services in the physical economy, often facilitated by digital payment systems. In the context of cryptocurrencies, this refers to the use of digital assets or blockchain technology to conduct these conventional financial exchanges. The objective is to leverage the potential benefits of digital currencies, such as faster transaction speeds or lower fees, for everyday commerce. This represents a key area for the practical application of blockchain technology beyond speculative trading.
