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.
