Verification

Gold Verified on Trados

Every Wave Function deal runs on the Trados platform, where the Letter of Intent, the counterparty and the payment instrument are each verified before allocation.

What Trados is

Trados is a commodity trading platform that connects verified buyers, sellers and brokers through AI-powered document verification and structured deal workflows — from Letter of Intent through to delivery.

Wave Function Trading holds Gold Verified status on the network and operates its own branded instance of the platform at wave.trados.app. Every Letter of Intent that reaches us is cryptographically certified, time-stamped and traceable, and every counterparty is checked against the registry before a deal opens.

Manual review takes days. On Trados it takes minutes — which means our buyers get a real answer while the cargo is still available, and neither side carries the document-fraud risk that costs this industry an estimated $1.2 billion a year.

It also means you are not asked to take our word for anything. The registry entry, the verification tier and the deal record all exist outside this website.

Why we run every deal through it

Sugar is the most impersonated commodity in the market: forged allocation letters, recycled proof-of-product, mills that do not exist, and intermediaries selling cargo they have never held. Most of that fraud is caught — or missed — at the LOI stage. Running the deal on a platform moves that check to the front.

The documents are checked

The LOI and supporting paperwork are auto-verified for tampering, fake formats and red flags before anyone spends a week on a call schedule.

The counterparty is checked

Both sides are registered and verified against the Trados registry. A company that will not register is a company that will not be checked.

The money is checked

The payment instrument — SBLC, DLC, MT-103 or escrow — is verified for issuing bank and format before allocation.

The milestones are tracked

BL, SGS, COA and COO are tracked as documentation milestones, so both sides see exactly where the deal stands.

Nothing depends on trust alone

Photos and videos follow contract execution rather than precede it — that is how refineries protect against fraud, and how we protect our buyers.

The record survives the deal

Every closed deal is recorded on the platform, and both sides earn verified-deal credit toward higher tiers.

The ten verified steps

Every document is checked, every milestone is tracked, and both sides can see exactly where the deal stands.

01

LOI / Soft Offer

Buyer submits a Letter of Intent or Soft Offer — Trados auto-verifies the document for tampering, fake formats and red flags.

06

Final SPA

Final Sales and Purchase Agreement signed by both parties — a legally binding contract.

02

NDA

Both parties sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement so sensitive details — volumes, pricing, source — stay protected.
