Transaction Pathways refer to the designated routes, protocols, and underlying networks through which financial transactions, particularly those involving digital assets, are initiated, processed, routed, and ultimately settled. These pathways define the sequence and nature of interactions between participants and systems involved in moving value. Their purpose is to enable efficient and secure transfer of funds within diverse financial infrastructures.
Mechanism
These pathways involve various technical and operational components, including communication protocols, payment gateways, and clearing mechanisms. In crypto, pathways can range from direct on-chain transfers on a layer-1 blockchain to more complex off-chain solutions, sidechains, or specialized institutional networks designed for high throughput and regulatory compliance. Each pathway has distinct attributes regarding speed, cost, and finality.
Methodology
