# How Metra works?

Metra enables multi-party transactional workflows between three primary roles during the primary issuance process:

1. Investor
2. Custodian
3. Issuer&#x20;

The application is designed around a single-investor deposit contract that allows for controlled fund flows through three core actions:&#x20;

● Deposit — Authorized inflow of funds into a unique investor deposit contract.&#x20;

● DvP Settlement — Delivery-versus-Payment transaction between the Investor’s and Issuer’s wallet.&#x20;

● Withdrawal — Controlled outflow of funds with multi-party authorization.&#x20;

Each critical action is governed by multi-party signatures, ensuring institutional-grade control and compliance.
