IndustriesWarehouse receipts

Paid against paper.Check it against its sealed original.

Warehouse receipts stand in for goods that lenders and buyers never see. Crodax is designed to link each receipt to the original the warehouse sealed, so a lender can check it before funds move and, within an agreed scope, see whether it was already presented.

04 / Pilot track

Receipt check

One warehouse, a trader and one or two lenders. The outcome to test: every pledged receipt checked against its sealed original before funds move.

05 / Boundaries

What Crodax does not check here.

Crodax does not inspect goods or establish legal title. The warehouse remains responsible for the receipt; inspectors and lenders keep their own checks.
