Export Financing
Enable global trade with tokenized export financing
Trade Finance: Export Financing Through Tokenization
Enable exporters to access immediate liquidity for their shipments. Tokenize export contracts backed by Letters of Credit (LC) and shipping documentation. Investors purchase export tokens and receive returns upon successful transaction completion, reducing friction in cross-border trade.
How Export Financing Works
1
Export Contract & LC Submission
Submit export contracts with Letters of Credit, shipping documents, and buyer information for verification.
2
Documentation Verification
Validate LC authenticity, buyer creditworthiness, and shipping/insurance details on-chain.
3
Export Token Issuance
Create fractional tokens representing ownership of export proceeds on the blockchain.
4
Investor Participation & Settlement
Investors purchase tokens at discount. Upon LC negotiation/payment, proceeds distributed automatically.
