Sectors
Critical & Strategic Materials
Government-to-government PXF + APF from tech anchors — $308B market for rare earths, gallium, germanium, uranium, and tantalum with the highest regulatory complexity.
Key figures
How it works
From strategic mine to classified buyer.
CFIUS/EU FDI screening
Every counterparty and transaction screened against CFIUS and EU foreign direct investment regulations. Hard-block on non-compliant flows — zero manual override.
Export control compliance
BIS Entity List, EU dual-use regulations, and country-specific export controls verified in real-time. Automatic blocking of prohibited end-uses and destinations.
Government SPV structuring
Special purpose vehicles structured for government-to-government transactions. Strategic stockpile financing with sovereign credit backing and DFC participation.
Settlement with audit trail
On delivery acceptance, financing settles automatically with a complete, tamper-proof audit trail for post-trade regulatory review and compliance reporting.
Capabilities
Classified-grade financing infrastructure.
CFIUS/EU FDI screening oracle
Real-time screening against CFIUS and EU foreign direct investment regulations. Transactions involving critical materials automatically flagged and blocked if non-compliant.
Export control compliance
BIS Entity List, EU dual-use controls, and Wassenaar Arrangement restrictions enforced at the smart contract level. No human override for prohibited transactions.
Government SPV structures
Purpose-built special purpose vehicles for government-to-government strategic materials transactions. DFC, EXIM, and allied-nation financing integration.
Strategic stockpile financing
Financing structures designed for national strategic stockpile programs — US Defense Logistics Agency, EU Critical Raw Materials Act, and allied reserves.
ITSCI supply chain verification
Full chain-of-custody verification for conflict-affected minerals. ITSCI-equivalent traceability from artisanal mine to end-user, verified on-chain.
Dual-use material tracking
Materials with both civilian and military applications tracked through the entire supply chain. End-use certificates and destination controls enforced programmatically.
Comparison
Traditional vs. Caviar
| Traditional | Caviar | |
|---|---|---|
| Regulatory screening | Manual legal review, weeks | Real-time CFIUS/EU FDI oracle |
| Export control compliance | Paper-based end-use certificates | Programmatic enforcement, zero override |
| Supply chain provenance | Quarterly audits | Continuous on-chain verification |
| Settlement | 30-90 days with legal review | <6 seconds atomic DvP with audit trail |
