How the platform grows, one strong layer at a time.
How the T57 platform grows: from verified trade, to connected finance, to a food ecosystem.
T57's roadmap shows how the platform builds layer by layer, so members, partners and governments can see where it is going and plan with it.
The problem
Infrastructure people depend on cannot be built all at once
Food trade infrastructure cannot be built all at once. Trust has to come first, because finance and data are only valuable when they rest on verified members and records. Many platforms promise everything on day one and deliver little. T57 is built in deliberate stages, with each layer strengthening the next. The key challenges this approach addresses include:
Trust before scale
Verification and the trade record must be solid before finance and data can rely on them.
Partners at their own pace
Banks, insurers and authorities join and integrate on their own timelines.
Market by market
Each market opens when both its supply and demand sides are ready.
How the platform grows
Verified trade → Connected finance → Food ecosystem → Expanding markets
- Stage 1Verified trade
- Stage 2Connected finance
- Stage 3Food ecosystem
- Stage 4Expanding markets
- 01
Verified trade
Membership verification, the T57 Passport and role labels, RFQs and quotes, contracts from quotes, matching, compliance screening, price data, and partner escrow, letters of credit, insurance and logistics.
- 02
Connected finance
Multi-lender finance requests, blockchain records and smart-contract milestones, forecasting, wallets in any currency, and deeper insurance and takaful.
- 03
Food ecosystem
Small, local AI models at scale, digital banking and alternative payments, trade data services, paperless pre-clearance with customs authorities, the food security view for governments, contract farming and the agronomy network.
- 04
Expanding markets
Starting with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, India, Malaysia and Türkiye, then opening further corridors across the OIC, ASEAN, Africa and beyond.
What each stage brings
4 ways each stage helps
For buyers and sellers
Verified partners and one trade record first, then easier finance, then deeper intelligence and services.
For lenders and insurers
Verified deal files first, then structured multi-lender requests and self-liquidating trades, then richer risk data.
For governments
Verified supplier data first, then pre-clearance and the food security view.
For farmers and cooperatives
Market access first, then contract farming, crop forecasting and agronomy support.
Use case · Illustrative example
Turkish cooperative grows with the platform
A hazelnut cooperative in Giresun joins T57 to reach verified buyers in the Gulf. It first uses verification, RFQs and escrow. As connected finance arrives, it uses multi-lender requests to fund the harvest. Later, it adopts crop forecasting and contract farming, so it can agree volumes with buyers before the season starts.
Why T57
We believe that infrastructure people depend on should be built carefully, one strong layer at a time.
