A Trade Asset Passport is a structured record that connects an economic object to its identities, transaction context, source evidence, status, and review history.
Possible passport elements
- asset or receivable reference;
- seller, buyer, and relevant participant identities;
- contract and invoice relationships;
- shipment, custody, inspection, and insurance evidence;
- amount, currency, dates, and quantities;
- evidence provenance;
- duplicate-use or conflict indicators;
- review questions and unresolved conditions;
- bounded handoff history.
Passport does not mean token
A passport can exist entirely off-chain. It improves identity, evidence, and review continuity. Tokenization, registry writes, chain submission, settlement, and capital movement are separate capabilities with separate legal and technical requirements.
Keeping those layers separate allows useful asset standardization without prematurely claiming an executable RWA infrastructure.
