Partner Programmes
Market Makers and APs
Quote vault shares against USDC around iNAV, answer RFQs and bid in every batch. In return: authorised-participant status, an inventory loan, fee rebates and a share of auction fees.
Liquidity Bridge LPs
Buy exits at NAV − 1.0% and redeem at NAV − 0.10%, in a segregated mandate run by a licensed panel market maker. Cargo does not manage LP money. Minimum $50,000.
Originators
Licensed producers, exporters and dealers list receipted lots and sell at the reference price less the clearing discount, instead of at the local bid. In the Genesis Vault: licensed cocoa exporters and cooperatives, with lots of 25 t or more.
Private Venues
Licensed venues can list Cargo vault shares with our NAV feed, whitelist and APs. No listing fees either way.
Approved Buyers (Offtake)
Processors, exporters, refiners and traders who want to buy the goods in a Cargo vault join that vault’s offtake panel. On top of entity KYB, an approved buyer provides:- two trade references;
- a signed Approved Buyer Agreement and evidence of authority to sign contracts;
- import and shipping details for the destination;
- bank details for refunds of deposits.
Listing on Other Private Venues
We want Cargo vault shares wherever eligible buyers already trade, as long as the venue keeps the whitelist and the NAV anchor intact.
Permissioned RFQ networks and licensed OTC desks can quote now, as principals or agents under their own licences. A regulated EU DLT venue becomes worthwhile once monthly volume and EU demand justify it.
