### 1 · Cross-Border Supplier Payments & Treasury FX Netting

**Scenario**\

* Merchants runs supplier **KYC / sanctions screening** on-chain.
* Executes atomic swaps on DEX liquidity, locking FX at time of send.
* Writes a hash-linked settlement record (ISO-20022 payload) for auditors.

**Why It Matters**

* **T+0 finality**, vs. 2-3 business-day wires.
* 50-80 bp cheaper than SWIFT FX margin.
* Immutable audit log → SOX & IFRS compliant.
