CRODAX
The continuity layer for authoritative records

Keep the record connected.
Across organizations.

CRODAX is building the continuity layer that links document references, recorded changes and supporting evidence across the teams that use them.

One record.
A connected story.
From origin to everyday life.
01 / The companyOne reference. Across the lifecycle.

The asset moves.
Its history should follow.

CRODAX seals and connects documents and attestations issued by other organizations. Its infrastructure is designed to preserve their identity, provenance and continuity.

A shared reference for the organizations that need to understand what a record relates to, where it came from and what happened next.

01

Identity

Which asset or record are we looking at?

02

Rights

Who is making the claim, and what supports it?

03

Provenance

Where did the information come from?

04

Continuity

What changed, and how does it connect?

02 / The infrastructureThe CRODAX Seal

Multiple parties.
One record they can all check.

The Seal is designed to link a record’s reference to recorded events and supporting evidence.

The architecture anchors cryptographic evidence to blockchain networks. Documents and source claims remain the responsibility of the organizations that issue them.

The handover problemFigures describe the industries, not Crodax

Value is lost in seconds.At the moment it changes hands.

Five industries, one weak point: the release, delivery or transfer where one party hands a valuable asset to another and has to trust what it is shown.

$304.6M

in cargo theft losses in the US and Canada in one quarter

Verisk CargoNet · Q2 2026 [1]

1 in 3

stolen watches located were offered with box and papers

The Watch Register · 2025 [3]

US$500M

paid for cargoes sold as nickel that were not

UK High Court · 2026 [7]

01 · Freight and fictitious pickups

The wrong truck gets the load.

Fictitious pickups use stolen carrier identities, cloned logos and forged paperwork to collect a load before the real carrier arrives.

US$35B

Estimated annual cargo theft losses in the US — up to this amount.

NICB — Cargo Theft [19]

At the handover

The clerk compares the driver’s papers with a printout. Nothing checks that this carrier is the one in the booking.

02 · Watches and collectibles

Box and papers prove nothing.

Stolen or swapped watches are sold with convincing box and papers, sometimes at a meeting arranged online.

10,000

luxury watches registered as lost or stolen with The Watch Register in 2025

The Watch Register · 2025 [3]

At the handover

The buyer can inspect the watch and the papers, but not whether the seller is entitled to transfer them.

At a watch counter, a buyer checks a smartphone beside a steel watch and its provenance document.

03 · Trade documents and warehouse receipts

Paid against paper.

A warehouse receipt stands in for goods. Lenders advance money against it, sometimes more than once.

92

forged warehouse receipts, about US$284M paid against them

UK Court of Appeal · 2022 [15]

At the handover

At pledge or payment, no one can see whether the same receipt was already presented elsewhere.

The same weak point shows up elsewhere. In food, one Europol operation seized €95M of fake and substandard food and drink. In aviation, one UK distributor sold more than 60,000 engine parts with forged release certificates. [4][8]
