AI-powered cross-border trade-finance infrastructure using blockchain settlement, digital escrow, tokenized assets and risk intelligence for African global trade.
DRAGO X Protocol is an AI-powered cross-border trade-finance and settlement infrastructure designed to connect African businesses with global suppliers. The MVP focuses on African–Japanese trade corridors, addressing correspondent banking costs, multi-day settlement delays and counterparty risk.
The platform combines programmable blockchain escrow, dual-currency settlement assets, trade documentation, RWA infrastructure and AI-powered trade-risk intelligence. DGX provides a USD-denominated settlement asset, DGZ provides a JPY-denominated settlement asset, and DragoEscrow provides programmable on-chain settlement.
The Arbitrum Sepolia MVP supports live Web3 interaction, including ERC-20 minting, MetaMask integration, on-chain escrow workflows and Arbiscan transaction verification. Users can also explore a zero-gas sandbox without requiring testnet ETH.
DRAGO X is designed to evolve from an MVP into infrastructure for faster, more transparent and programmable cross-border trade settlement.
During the Buildathon, we advanced DRAGO X from its existing MVP toward an Arbitrum-native deployment. We implemented and tested the Arbitrum Sepolia environment, integrated the live frontend with Arbitrum Web3 functionality, deployed and verified DGX, DGZ and DragoEscrow, implemented live ERC-20 minting and escrow workflows, integrated MetaMask interaction, and added Arbiscan verification. We also developed and documented the Arbitrum-specific B2B settlement demonstration and testing workflow.
Pre-seed / Bootstrapped — currently seeking strategic investors, grants and ecosystem funding to move the MVP toward production deployment and market validation.
