More deals close. Faster. With less friction.
Simple Flow. Powerful Outcome.
1. Transaction Created
Roles assigned
2. Conditions Defined
Set milestones: delivery, inspection, approvals
3. All Conditions Satisfied
Defined milestones are met, with audit trails, and embedded contracts
4. Funds + Goods are Released
Once conditions are met, payment is automatically released.
No chasing signatures. No manual coordination. No uncertainty
In global trade, the biggest risk isn’t the shipment—
It’s trust between buyer and seller.
Global Trade Finance: Legacy vs. New Rails
$5T+ annual flows still running on document-based trust
Defaults
Delays
Disputes
Payment Uncertainty
Traditional systems weren’t built to solve this cleanly.
No Single Point of Failure
Each transaction can include –
- Buyer
- Seller
- Inspector - verifier
- Optional Lender
- Compliance (KYC / AML)
Each party submits a verified approval tied to their role. This removes trust gaps — and replaces them with structure.
Optional Financing Layer
Make transactions financeable—without adding complexity.
Lock Trust allows capital providers to fund transactions directly within the deal structure.
→ Lenders fund based on defined conditions
→ Repayment is executed automatically through settlement
→ No involvement required from you
Your users gain access to capital—without slowing down the deal
Banks monetize friction. We eliminate it.

What is secure trade deal flow worth?
Estimate protected broker revenue and added upside when cross-border transactions use trade escrow and programmable settlement.
This calculator estimates broker-side upside from protected commissions, higher escrow adoption, and improved deal completion.
Monthly Escrow Deal Volume = Deals Per Month × Average Deal Size × Deals Using Escrow
Protected Broker Revenue = Monthly Escrow Deal Volume × Broker Fee
Added Revenue = Protected Broker Revenue × Expected Close Rate Improvement
Recovered Revenue = Protected Broker Revenue × Failed / Delayed Deal Reduction
Estimated Annual Revenue = (Protected Revenue + Added Revenue + Recovered Revenue) × 12
