RQ-003 — Traceability Tokens for Commodity Finance


Abstract

This study links token issuance and redemption to verifiable traceability checkpoints across Brazil’s export corridor. Each lifecycle stage—creation, storage, transit, export, and settlement—consumes GS1 EPCIS events, NF-e/CT-e documents, and multi-sig attestations so lenders see the same state as logistics operators. The paper demonstrates how oracle redundancy, timestamped payloads, and dispute windows give financiers confidence to fund inventory without waiting for weeks of reconciliation.

Research Notes

  • Supply-chain blueprint details actors from farms to port terminals and enumerates the mandatory data artifacts that advance token states.
  • Lifecycle section proposes deterministic transitions plus automatic degradation handling (quality haircuts, dispute queues) when audits fail tolerance bands.
  • Risk controls include ICP-Brasil signed oracle feeds, exclusivity proofs via hashed warehouse receipts, and regulated dispute processes.
  • Implementation roadmap schedules discovery, MVP, and scale-up phases through 2026, highlighting pilot lots and integration partners.
