CargoX is reshaping the global logistics industry by introducing Smart B/L documents based on blockchain technology, replacing old-style paper Bill of Lading documents. With the Smart B/L users will be able to state and transfer cargo ownership rights without the hassle of handling paper.
The shipping industry still uses paper for issuing proof of cargo ownership.
Blockchain and Smart Contracts are made for this industry.Read the

As mentioned in Week in Ethereum News 23 Feb 2020!
A quick summary of core functionalitiesBill of LadingCompanies in global shipping need to send ownership documents called Bill of Lading (House B/L, Switch B/L, Master B/L, etc.) for the goods in the containers or breakbulk goods through courier services. That is slow, expensive, and prone to human error, damage, loss or theft. If a document gets lost or damaged, hundreds of thousands of dollars can be lost, too.
The CargoX platform enables blockchain document transfer and statement of ownership - in just minutes, for a fraction of the cost. And the companies receive a secure, decentralized, searchable archive!
Companies can pay for services rendered with CXO tokens, ETH, or with FIAT (and CargoX provides CXO exchange services for them).
CXO tokenEach Bill of Lading requires a certain amount of CXO to be paid (calculated at time of credit purchase), and after smart contract issues credits,
70% of received tokens are burned - sent to 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (removed from circulation). The remaining 30% of the CXO intended for the credits are returned to the CargoX Treasury.
Please note, CargoX withholds the right to change the treasury/burn/buyback rates if needed for the smooth operation of the platform. The 70% burn rate has been announced after the ICO, in the
CargoX Bluepaper, and has never been changed since.
CXO TreasuryCargoX has a treasury to buffer for companies who do not wish to deal with CXO themselves, and the treasury is limited to max 25%, min 10% of all CXO issued. When the treasury depletes, the platform will purchase tokens from the market.
