Overview

What the Trade APIs enable

Using BlockPeer Trade APIs, an Integrating System can:

• Issue electronic Bills of Lading (eBL)
• Issue electronic Promissory Notes (ePN)
• Verify TradeTrust-compliant documents
• Manage document lifecycle actions:
  • Transfer
  • Nominate / endorse
  • Reject
  • Return to issuer

All actions are executed in accordance with the TradeTrust framework.

How Trade APIs are used

EndUser (Authorized Signer)

• The Integrating System initiates trade actions
• The End User approves actions via redirect and passkeys
• BlockPeer orchestrates document lifecycle updates

Approval model (high level)

• Every eBL / ETR issuance or management action:
  • Generates a redirect URL
  • Requires End User approval
  • Uses End User passkeys only

There are no alternative approval mechanisms.

What Trade APIs abstract

Integrating Systems do not need to:

• Implement the TradeTrust framework
• Deploy or manage smart contracts
• Build document verification logic
• Manage private keys or wallets

All TradeTrust-specific complexity is handled by BlockPeer.

What Trade APIs do NOT abstract

• Legal responsibility for approvals
• End User control over documents
• Network transaction fees (if applicable)
