Imagine a world without technical barriers
Global trade drives wealth creation and prosperity, but the industry is fragmented as multiple players and digital platforms exist in silos.
Picture a world where trade and finance flow seamlessly — no technical hurdles, no repetitive data entry. A world where businesses, governments, and partners, regardless of size or location, are effortlessly connected.
Introducing a universal language for trade
We believe in a future where conducting trade — whether locally or across borders — is as simple and seamless as making a call or accessing a website. We propose a common language, a protocol and open-source libraries, used by all participants from private and public sector applications and platforms.
Introducing the International Secure Trade Transfer Protocol (ISTTP) - the first open and common protocol, that universally connects the global trade community, allowing everyone to collaborate seamlessly and trade efficiently.
This vision is built and delivered by
Integrated cross-business and
cross-domain processes
Universal accessibility
Effortless connectivity, authentic, accurate & controlled anytime
Secure and private data flows
Trusted and verified
The identities of all participants are verifiable, and the data exchanged between them remains in sovereign control, secure, private, and legally compliant.
How does ISTTP work?
Open
Barrier-free, inclusive, accessible to everyone without IP or copyright restrictions and free. Entirely decentral with no central registries, ledgers or databases.
Authentic
Designed with organizational identity and authority delegation at its core, ensuring authenticity, end-to-end verifiability, enabling more advanced levels of automation.
Private
Legally compliant, secure, and privacy-focused, ensuring seamless collaboration between businesses and governments. Tamper-proof and auditable, providing reliable, court-admissible records.
Connect once, connect everywhere
Businesses of all sizes - SMEs and MNCs - can trade and connect directly to their respective counterparties, service providers and regulatory authorities, easily and efficiently.
An open, barrier-free and inclusive digital trade ecosystem will boost efficiency, transparency and resiliency while reducing costs, operational risks, errors, fraud and environmental impact.
But we can't do it alone.
"Collaboration is the key to transforming trade — let’s unlock the future, together.”
Let’s Build This Future, Together
At the Verifiable.Trade Foundation, we are committed to empowering the trade community with adaptable, open-source verifiable data exchange protocols and business logic accelerators.
Our framework enables sovereign states and organizations to deploy trade data gateways, fostering seamless, peer-to-peer connectivity. These gateways facilitate the exchange of fully authentic trade data in a privacy-preserving and secure manner.
Organizations operating in competitive markets must retain control over proprietary information while demonstrating compliance with regulations and building trust with stakeholders.
With this foundation, anyone can build applications to leverage trusted data, driving the creation of sovereign digital public infrastructures that fuel the growth of the digital economy.
Who we are
We are the Verifiable.Trade Foundation, a Swiss non-profit organization, founded by a team of seven experts with proven track records, dedicated to advancing this vision. Through its support for open-source protocol implementation and libraries, the foundation invites global contributors to join its mission of creating a unified, digital framework for trade.
