Delivery versus Payment (DvP) settlement on JIL ensures that the delivery of an asset and the corresponding payment occur simultaneously and atomically. Neither party bears the risk of delivering without receiving payment, or paying without receiving the asset. The multi-party attestation protocol validates both legs of the exchange before executing either.
DvP is a fundamental principle of securities settlement established by international standards bodies. Without DvP, one party always bears principal risk - the risk that they fulfill their obligation but the counterparty does not. This risk is particularly acute in cross-border transactions with different legal systems.
