Purpose-bound settlement infrastructure for SME cross-border trade.
Purpose-bound settlement infrastructure for SME cross-border trade.
SMEs produce high marginal value but have become institutional strangers to structured trade finance. Basel's risk math prices trust by stature, balance sheet size, credit ratings, banking relationships. The result: a US$2.5 trillion trade finance gap, a 41% rejection rate, and a 15–42% friction tax on every cross-border shipment.
The infrastructure deficit is structural. Mithril is the architectural response.
Mithril is a settlement protocol that derives trust from the economic reality of the trade — what was shipped, what was received, what was verified — not from the institutional standing of the parties.
London brings together English commercial law and the world's deepest cross-border trade-finance ecosystem. Mithril builds where that substrate is densest.
