Currency/Multi-Currency Escrow Transactions

Lucid facilitates secure multi-currency escrow transactions by holding funds in the agreed base currency and executing transparent currency conversion only when predefined conditions are met. This reduces FX risk, timing exposure, and counterparty uncertainty in cross-border transactions.
