TradeTrust is an innovative framework with a targeted solution to address existing pain points in international trade (i.e., heavily paper-based and siloed systems which lead to inefficiency) and support the growth of trade and income for all nations. It aims to connect the systems of governments and businesses with interoperable digital documents. It supports the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda (Target 8.2, Target 9.1, Target 12.5, Target 12.6, Target 17.7, Target 1711) because: 1. TradeTrust is a public good or digital infrastructure for the world. Its software code is made freely available on GitHub, reducing the barriers to entry for countries and businesses (i.e., promotes digital equality especially for the less privileged). 2. It is about paperless trade and hence reducing carbon footprint caused by paper documents used in the cross-border trade. 3. It promotes partnerships and inclusivity as it is developing an open-source community and open for collaborations with both public and private sector partners to showcase the benefits of digital trade. 4. Its various trials have demonstrated time and cost-saving for the business community (e.g., the Netherlands -Singapore trial proved time saving for BL transfer from 6-10 days to less than 24 hours). To further illustrate the potential impact which TradeTrust would bring: according to Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA), the shipping industry could potentially save $4 billion a year if 50% of the market adopts eBL. eBL has been a key document which TradeTrust promotes.

Copyright noticeTradeTrust requires an API key for Ethereum, Polygon, CoinMarket, Stability, Astron, and an ID for INFURA for verifying contracts in the token-registry (https://github.com/TradeTrust/token-registry?tab=readme-ov-file#verification). However, these tokens are for the hardhat service used only on the local environment for developing and deploying smart contracts onto the blockchain. We do not have a production environment for this code repo, as the code will always be in production on the blockchain once it is deployed onto the mainnet of the blockchain, and it will not require any of the tokens after that.
