Path Payment

A feature of the Stellar network that allows a user to send one type of asset while the receiver gets another type of asset. Stellar automatically converts the asset at the most favorable rate.

You can send USDC while your recipient receives EURC: the protocol routes the conversion through order books and liquidity pools atomically, so either the whole payment succeeds or nothing moves.
