How trades settle in 2.4 seconds on the Loop'D Ledger
The technical mechanics of atomic token transfers, identity eligibility verification, and instant ownership transfer without escrow delays.
Instant Atomic Settlement
In conventional collectibles and alternative asset trading, settlement is fraught with counterparty risk: escrow delays, physical transport liabilities, and multi-day wire clearances. On Loop'D, all vaulted items exist as permissioned ERC-3643 tokens on the high-speed Loop'D Ledger.
When a buyer clicks 'Buy now' or an open offer is accepted by a seller, the transaction executes atomically in a single block. In exactly 2.4 seconds (the average network block time), the buyer's USD/USDC balance is debited, the seller's balance is credited net of the 2.5% market fee, and legal ownership of the vaulted token is reassigned.
Because the physical asset remains safely undisturbed inside its climate-controlled vault bay, zero transit risk occurs during secondary market trading.
