Cross-Border Trade Network
Frictionless international trade for SMEs. Letters of credit, bills of lading, and trade finance—digitized, tokenized, and settled in real-time. The $6 trillion trade finance gap, solved.
The Three Pillars
Access
A coffee farmer in Ethiopia can sell directly to a roaster in Tokyo. No banks, no brokers, no 90-day payment terms. Smart contracts ensure payment on delivery. Global trade, democratized.
Agency
Traders negotiate terms directly. Price, quantity, shipping, insurance—all encoded in the DIO. Dispute resolution is algorithmic. The terms are what you agreed to, enforced by code.
Accountability
Every shipment is tracked via VRDIs. IoT sensors in containers report temperature, humidity, and location. If goods arrive damaged, the blockchain knows exactly where the chain broke.
The Technology Stack
Artificial Intelligence
The Underwriter AI assesses trade counterparty risk. It analyzes shipping history, payment behavior, and geopolitical factors. High-risk trades require additional collateral. Low-risk trades get instant approval.
Automation
Payment is triggered automatically when the bill of lading transfers. No more chasing invoices. No more factoring fees. Working capital flows like water.
Blockchain
Bills of lading are ERC-721 tokens. Ownership transfers on-chain, eliminating the need for physical document couriers. Title is transferred in seconds, not weeks. Trade becomes as fast as email.
