Source Commodities Globally
With Zero Risk.
Access 1,200+ verified exporters and pay only when you've confirmed delivery. Your funds are protected in escrow every step of the way.
Why Importing Is Risky Without lockt.
Global importers lose millions each year to fraud, quality disputes, and document forgery. These are not edge cases — they are systemic failures in an unprotected market.
Unverified Suppliers
No way to verify if that exporter has the goods they claim. Phantom listings, stock photos, and inflated capacity are the norm on unregulated platforms.
Quality Disputes
Goods arrive substandard with no recourse for payment recovery. Once payment is sent, you have no leverage — and no one in your corner.
Document Fraud
Forged certificates, falsified shipping documents, phantom shipments. Without cryptographic verification, every document is a potential liability.
No Neutral Arbiter
When disputes arise, there's no trusted party to resolve them fairly. Cross-jurisdiction litigation takes years. By then, the money is gone.
Four Guarantees. Zero Compromise.
Every importer on lockt is backed by a four-point protection guarantee. This is not a promise — it is built into the platform architecture.
Funds Locked Until You Confirm
Your funds are locked in escrow — no release until YOU confirm delivery. The seller cannot touch a single cent until you sign off.
AI-Verified, Blockchain-Anchored Documents
Every document is AI-verified and blockchain-anchored before shipment. SHA-256 hashing and forgery detection ensure nothing gets past our system.
Real-Time GPS Shipment Tracking
Real-time GPS tracking from origin to your port. Watch your goods move across the continent — every checkpoint, every delay, in real time.
Full Dispute Resolution with Country Agents
If goods don't match the contract, full dispute resolution with country agent. Our on-ground agents in 34 countries physically verify and mediate.

What lockt Checks Before You Commit.
Before you see a listing, before you speak to an exporter, our AI engine has already run a complete four-layer verification. You only see what has passed — everything else is filtered out.
Exporter KYC and Business Verification
Government-issued ID, business registration, bank account verification, and physical address confirmation before any listing goes live.
Historical Trade Record and Peer Trust Score
Peer Trust Score built from ratings given by verified trading partners — covering on-time delivery, payment behaviour, and overall experience. Updated after every trade.
Document Authenticity Checks
SHA-256 cryptographic hashing plus AI forgery detection on every certificate, bill of lading, inspection report, and phytosanitary document.
AI Fraud Risk Scoring
Real-time AI fraud risk scoring for the transaction itself — analysing price anomalies, behavioural patterns, and cross-referencing global fraud databases.

“We source 200+ MT of Kenyan coffee annually. Before lockt, we had one supplier send us a shipment 40% below contracted grade. We lost $28,000 with no resolution. Now, every shipment is quality-certified and blockchain-verified before it leaves port. We haven't had a single dispute in 8 months.

The Best Insurance Premium You'll Ever Pay.
The 2% platform fee is the best insurance premium you'll ever pay. On a $100,000 trade, you pay $2,000 for complete protection — AI verification, escrow protection, GPS tracking, and dispute resolution.
And if the trade doesn't close, you pay nothing. The platform fee is only charged on successfully completed transactions.
