The settlement upgrade can restore payment flow or lock in an incorrect reserve state.
Customer access to funds pulls against proving that every irreversible burn maps to a reserve release.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My ops lead has three payouts waiting, and every screen says the burn already finished.”
Parisa Chamoun · Payments Product Manager
Owns a financial platform’s stablecoin payout experience and must explain restricted balances to operations and customers.
What is at stake
Completed burns have left some customer balances restricted while reserve releases disagree across chains. You have to weigh a time-bound settlement recovery against an irreversible contract change.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- payout continuity vs reserve certainty
- contract finality vs incomplete evidence
- release deadline vs adversarial verification
- monitor confidence vs independent reconciliation
Why Stripe
