Trade Finance Settlement Platform Development

We build secure, automated blockchain platforms that irrevocably settle letters of credit, invoice financing, and supply chain payments for global trade partners, reducing settlement times from weeks to minutes.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy mission-critical Solidity/Rust smart contracts with enterprise-grade security and gas optimization. Every contract undergoes a multi-stage audit process, including automated analysis, manual review, and formal verification for critical logic.

  • Custom Tokenomics & DeFi Protocols: Design and implement ERC-20, ERC-721, and bespoke token standards with vesting, staking, and governance modules.
  • Cross-Chain & Layer 2 Integration: Build for EVM chains, Solana, and scaling solutions like Arbitrum/Optimism with secure bridging logic.
  • Upgradeability & Maintenance: Implement proxy patterns (UUPS, Transparent) for future-proof systems with managed admin controls.

Deliver a fully audited, deployable contract suite in 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA for live systems. We provide complete technical documentation and post-deployment monitoring.

MEASURABLE RESULTS

Business Outcomes for FinTechs and Trading Desks

Our trade finance settlement platforms deliver concrete, auditable improvements to operational efficiency, risk management, and capital deployment.

01

Accelerated Settlement & Reduced Counterparty Risk

Replace multi-day bank transfers with atomic, on-chain settlement in under 60 seconds. Smart contracts act as neutral, automated escrow, eliminating principal risk and payment delays.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our Development Methodology

A structured, security-first approach to building enterprise-grade trade finance platforms. We deliver production-ready systems with predictable timelines and audited code.

01

Discovery & Architecture Design

We map your specific trade flows (LCs, guarantees, factoring) to an optimal on-chain architecture. Deliverables include a technical specification, tokenomics model, and integration blueprint for your existing ERP systems.

2-3 weeks
Design Phase
100%
Spec Alignment
02

Smart Contract Development

Development of core settlement logic using Solidity 0.8+ with OpenZeppelin libraries. We implement payment commitments, document attestation (via IPFS/Sia), and automated escrow release with multi-sig controls.

03

Security & Formal Verification

Every contract undergoes static analysis (Slither), manual review, and unit/integration testing achieving >95% coverage. Optional formal verification for critical payment logic to eliminate runtime vulnerabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our process, timeline, security, and support for building a custom trade finance settlement platform.

A minimum viable product (MVP) with core settlement and document handling typically deploys in 6-8 weeks. A full-featured enterprise platform with multi-bank integration, advanced smart contracts, and a custom UI takes 3-5 months. We use an agile sprint methodology, delivering working software every 2 weeks for continuous feedback.
