Payment Agent

Debt instruments' cash flows usually involve:

• Principal repayment
• Early repayment options
• Coupon payments

D-ASA supports both on-chain and off-chain payment agents, depending on the settlement asset (see Settlement section).

The D-ASA payment methods MAY provide additional information about the payment.

The payment information could be used, for example, for:

• Adding unique identifiers or external context to the payments
• Enabling external payment system integration in the case of off-chain settlement
• Providing information about the settled amount and conversion rate used with respect to the denomination asset
