1. What is settlement in the context of Orbita Notes trading?

Settlement refers to the finalization of a trade, where the ownership of Orbita Notes is transferred from the seller to the buyer, and the corresponding funds are transferred from the buyer to the seller.

2. How long does it take for a trade to settle?

Most trades settle almost instantly due to the platform’s integration with blockchain technology. However, settlement times may vary depending on network congestion or the complexity of the transaction.

3. Are there specific cut-off times for initiating trades to ensure same-day settlement?

No, the platform operates 24/7, allowing trades to be settled in real-time at any time of the day, irrespective of time zones.

4. What factors can influence settlement times?

Factors include:

Network congestion on the blockchain.
Verification processes for large or high-volume trades.
Cross-border fiat currency conversions, if applicable.

5. Can I view the status of a settlement in progress?

Yes, settlement statuses are displayed in the Transaction History section, where you can track completed, pending, and failed settlements in real-time.

6. Is there a difference in settlement times for primary and secondary market trades?

Primary Market Trades: Settlement is near-instant as the notes are issued directly by Orbita Note Series LLC.
Secondary Market Trades: Settlement depends on matching the buy and sell orders, but it is typically processed in real-time once matched.

7. What happens if a settlement fails?

If a settlement fails, the platform automatically initiates a review. Failed settlements are usually due to insufficient funds, incorrect transaction details, or network issues. You will be notified and guided to resolve the issue.

8. Are there fees associated with settlement?

Yes, a small settlement fee is applied to cover blockchain transaction costs. These fees are transparently communicated during the trade confirmation process.

9. How are funds transferred during settlement?

Funds are securely transferred through the platform’s integrated wallet system, ensuring the buyer’s payment is transferred to the seller once the Orbita Notes ownership is updated.

10. Can I settle trades using fiat currencies?

Yes, fiat currency settlements are supported. However, these transactions may require additional processing time for currency conversion and verification.

11. How does blockchain technology enhance settlement processes?

Blockchain creates an immutable ledger for all transactions, ensuring settlements are secure, traceable, and completed with precision. It eliminates the need for intermediaries, reducing the time and cost associated with traditional settlements.

12. What is the role of Central Ura in settlements?

Central Ura, as the foundational credit-backed money in the C2C system, ensures that settlements are backed by tangible credit rather than speculative debt. Transactions involving Central Ura are typically faster and more secure.

13. How are disputes during settlement handled?

Disputes are resolved through the platform’s Support Center, where transaction records and blockchain data are reviewed to provide a fair resolution.

14. Can I modify a trade after it has been settled?

No, once a trade is settled, it cannot be modified due to the immutable nature of blockchain technology. You can initiate a new trade if needed.

15. Is there a maximum settlement limit for Orbita Notes trades?

There is no fixed maximum limit, but large trades may undergo additional verification to ensure compliance and security.

16. How are large trades settled?

Large trades are settled in the same manner as standard trades but may take slightly longer due to additional verification processes to ensure regulatory compliance.
