Trade documents anyone can prove.
Every Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading and invoice FDP Connect issues is cryptographically signed and anchored, so any bank, buyer or customs officer can independently confirm who issued it and that not a digit has changed. No login. No trust in us required.
Open standards · permissioned ledger · built for institutions, not speculation
A document is only as good as the proof behind it
Today, the proof is a phone call. That’s slow, manual, and forgeable.
A PDF proves nothing
A trade document is just a file. Anyone can copy it, edit a value, or recreate it, and it still looks official.
Counterparties can’t check
So banks, buyers and customs re-verify by hand: emails, phone calls, courier originals. Days lost on every consignment.
Forgery is cheap
Altered invoices, duplicate Bills of Lading and fake certificates are a real, recurring source of trade-finance loss.
A chain of trust, from issuer to inbox
Built on open standards: not a black box, and not a coin. Five links carry a document from the party that issued it to the party that relies on it.
- Identity
Who issued it
Every document is bound to a verified legal identity: the organisation’s LEI and seal, and the individual signer (Aadhaar e-Sign / DSC). Not an anonymous wallet.
- Credential
Sealed, selectively
The document is issued as a verifiable credential (SD-JWT VC) signed by the issuer, so the holder can present only the fields a counterparty needs, and nothing more.
- Anchor
Tamper-evident
Its cryptographic fingerprint is anchored on a permissioned trade ledger (BharatTradeNet). Change a single digit and the proof breaks, visibly, for everyone.
- Verify
By anyone, no login
Any party resolves the issuer’s identity and checks the signature and the anchor independently, without an account, and without trusting automaxis.
- Title (eBL)
One holder at a time
For electronic Bills of Lading, exclusive control is provable and transferable under MLETR-aligned rules. Verifiable possession, not a screenshot.
Even the automation that files on government portals (RoBoCo) is itself cryptographically signed, so the software acting on your behalf is origin-verifiable too.
Provable by anyone, owing FDP nothing
Drop a signed document or paste its credential. The issuer’s identity resolves, the signature is checked, and the on-ledger anchor is confirmed, with no account and no trust in automaxis.
- Counterparty never logs in
- Never calls you to confirm an original
- Never has to trust the platform that made it
Every document, tied to a real legal identity
Verification only means something if you know who signed. FDP binds documents to the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), the global business passport managed by GLEIF (the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation), and steps you up the trust ladder as you grow.
Trusted verification
Confirms every exporter, importer, bank or FI in the chain is a real, registered legal entity.
Global standard
The LEI is an ISO 17442 identifier recognised by regulators and standard-setters worldwide.
Fraud reduction
Prevents identity spoofing and fabricated documentation across borders.
Regulatory alignment
Supports FATF, WTO and financial regulators that increasingly mandate entity-level identity in digital trade.
The Financial Stability Board has endorsed the LEI for its G20 Roadmap for Enhancing Cross-Border Payments. This isn't a private standard, it's where global regulators are already pointing trade and payments.
Open standards. A permissioned ledger. An honest roadmap.
No proprietary lock-in, and no speculation.
Built on open standards
TradeTrust and MLETR-aligned transferable records, ICC DSI (KTDDE) trade data, DCSA for sea, and LEI / ISO 17442 identity. Interoperable by design.
JWT now, KERI / ACDC next
Today’s credentials are signed verifiable JWTs (SD-JWT). Shipping and practical. The architecture upgrades to KERI / ACDC for vLEI-grade assurance as that ecosystem matures. We tell you which is which.
Permissioned, not speculative
Documents anchor to a permissioned trade ledger (BharatTradeNet, on the MeitY / C-DAC track). Built for institutional trust and regulatory comfort, not public-token trading.
