About
What is TradeSource?
TradeSource is B2B infrastructure for the issuance, verification and transfer of digital warehouse receipts.
It connects warehouse data, inspection records, electronic signatures, cryptographic proofs and transaction logic into a single auditable workflow — making rights over stored goods easier to verify, transfer and finance across borders.
Ownership, not paperwork.
Verifiable Ownership
A clear and auditable record of rights over stored goods
Secure Transfer
Controlled transfer of digital title between authorized parties
Cross-Border Execution
Designed for international commodity transactions
Full Audit Trail
From warehouse issuance to settlement and release

Commercial Validation
Built from real trade, not from a theoretical workflow
Before platform deployment, the founding team completed 5 real commodity transactions through founder-led manual workflows, representing approximately €450k in GMV and €22.5k in fees collected.

These transactions validated the commercial workflow and the willingness of counterparties to transact and pay.
The next milestone is to move this validated workflow onto the TradeSource platform.
Commercial validation above relates to founder-led transactions completed before platform deployment.

The Problem
The Missing Ownership Layer in Global Trade
Goods move globally, but evidence of ownership still relies heavily on fragmented documents, manual controls and disconnected systems. TradeSource introduces a digital ownership infrastructure layer connecting warehouse issuance, verification, transaction execution and transfer.
Document & Counterparty Risk
Fragmented documentation and disconnected verification processes increase fraud and execution risk.
Limited SME Access
Smaller exporters and importers struggle to establish trust and access efficient transaction and financing infrastructure.
Illiquid Inventory
Stored commodities can be difficult to use efficiently as transferable or financeable assets.
Fragmented Digital Infrastructure
Most digital trade systems manage documents or logistics events. TradeSource focuses on the ownership layer associated with goods held in storage.
05
Technology
Legally informed digital infrastructure for physical trade
TradeSource combines:
- Verified warehouse data
- Inspection and certification records
- Electronic signatures and timestamps
- Cryptographic document proofs
- Programmable transaction logic
- Controlled transfer and audit trails
One asset. One authoritative digital record.
The architecture is designed around the principles of the UNCITRAL-UNIDROIT Model Law on Warehouse Receipts 2024 and the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR).
The legal effect and enforceability of any digital warehouse receipt remain subject to the applicable law, the relevant jurisdiction and the terms under which the warehouse receipt is issued.
06
Process
How TradeSource Works
Warehouse operators issue digital receipts. Sellers use them to evidence control of stored goods. Buyers receive verified title once the agreed conditions are fulfilled — each step recorded with a complete audit trail.
1
Deposit
Goods are deposited with a participating warehouse. Quantity, quality and condition can be verified.
2
Issuance
The warehouse issues a digitally verifiable warehouse receipt linked to the stored goods and supporting records.
3
Presentation
The seller presents the verified digital record to a prospective buyer.
4
Negotiation
Buyer and seller agree on price, volume, delivery and settlement terms.
5
Settlement
The agreed settlement conditions are executed and recorded.
6
Transfer
Once the agreed conditions are fulfilled, control of the digital title is transferred to the buyer with a complete audit trail.
The holder can subsequently initiate release of the underlying goods in accordance with the warehouse and transaction terms.
