A consortium of 5 major international banks
The Challenge
International trade finance involved extensive paper documentation, multiple intermediaries, and processing times of 7-10 days. The banking consortium wanted to digitize the process using blockchain technology while maintaining compliance with trade regulations across 8 jurisdictions.
Our Solution
We tested the blockchain trade finance platform including smart contract validation for letter of credit workflows, cross-chain interoperability testing, regulatory compliance across 8 jurisdictions, and performance testing for transaction throughput and finality.
Trade finance is one of the most promising applications of blockchain technology, addressing real inefficiencies in a $9 trillion global industry that still relies heavily on paper documents.
Smart contract testing was the core of our engagement. We validated that the letter of credit smart contracts correctly enforced all terms and conditions, including complex scenarios like partial shipments, amendments, and discrepancies.
Cross-jurisdictional compliance testing required deep understanding of trade regulations in each country. We validated that the platform correctly enforced sanctions screening, anti-money laundering checks, and know-your-customer requirements.
Performance testing revealed that Hyperledger Fabric’s endorsement policy was the bottleneck for transaction throughput. We worked with the development team to optimize the policy without compromising security.
