01 / WHY COTO
Good carpets need good information to reach the right market. COTO aims to bring scattered product details, capacity, prices and responsibilities into a shared process, helping participants make informed decisions across borders.
The ambition includes weaver groups and women artisans, manufacturers, exporters, importers, retailers and project buyers. Better visibility should recognise the maker’s contribution while giving buyers a clearer basis for sourcing and trade.
02 / THE BIDDERS’ PLATFORM
A proposed digital exchange for business buyers and sellers, with bidding built around the details that matter.
YOUR STARTING POINT
For manufacturers and exporters seeking direct access to volume buyers. Present your products and define the terms on which you want to trade.
Prepare your exporter profile ↗Concept demonstration. Live registration, bidding and payment services are not enabled on this website.
PRODUCT PROVENANCE + USD TRADE
Explore connected carpet passports, USD agreements and the planned crypto payment route.
Explore the trade platform ↗Crypto payments are not yet available. Provider onboarding and supported bank settlement are required.
THE PROPOSED TRADE JOURNEY
COTO brings the trading conversation around a shared specification, with due diligence on both sides.
Record materials, construction, design, origin and the required volume. Geographical indication, where applicable, forms part of the quality discussion.
Bring buyers and sellers together around price, quantity and quality. Review counterparties and the supporting information before agreeing a trade.
Set out commercial terms, delivery requirements and payment arrangements. The platform proposal links these records with a digital title to the goods.
The intended approach records ownership and supply-chain handovers, helping participants connect origin, delivery and settlement information.
ORIGIN, MAKER & DESIGN
The COTO proposal includes a digital passport: a connected record of the product and the people behind it. Its purpose is to make the information needed for trade easier to follow.
Discuss provenance with COTO ↗PROPOSED DIGITAL PASSPORT · INFORMATION FRAMEWORK
A proposed information framework. Digital records support verification; they do not replace independent checks or establish legal rights by themselves.
A MORE ACCOUNTABLE TRADE
The COTO vision uses digital records to connect a carpet’s origin with its journey through the supply chain.
Documenting design and ownership is part of the proposed approach to recognising the work behind each carpet.
The proposed platform brings product specifications, mutual due diligence and agreed payment terms into a shared process.
Blockchain and AI form part of COTO’s original platform proposal. These capabilities describe the intended direction.
03 / A GLOBAL INDUSTRY PROPOSITION
COTO’s proposed offer combines a trade platform with programmes for production, market access and value-chain improvement, adapted to each business and region.
Weaver groups, manufacturers, exporters, importers, retailers and designers. Handmade or machine-made, with quantity, quality, location and timing clearly described.
Capacity mapping, cluster collaboration, quality requirements, market positioning and shared routes to market. Each producer keeps a visible identity and responsibility.
Start with a baseline study, agree priorities and develop suitable tools. Track progress against agreed measures such as lead time, rejection rates and payment delays.
Programmes are proposed and subject to scoping, team availability and a separate agreement. Subscription terms and service fees will be published when available.
USE CASES FROM THE COTO PRESENTATION
The COTO presentation sets out blockchain use cases for digital title, provenance and shared records, alongside AI use cases for design, supply-chain communication and production support.
Match carpet title transfer to payment. The presentation’s proposed workflow generates a digital title for delivery and uses smart-contract execution for payment settlement.

MORE INFORMED TRADE. WIDER PARTICIPATION.
COTO aims to reduce information delays and opaque intermediation, giving smaller producers a clearer route to international business demand.
Compare specifications, quality, volume, location and timing. Agree USD prices, delivery responsibilities, inspection, payment milestones and claims before committing. Keep changes and confirmed receipts linked to one order.
Preserve weaver-group identity, explore assisted onboarding and record cluster allocation and producer payment obligations. Measure participation and producer benefit alongside trading activity.
