Quick Breakdown
- XDC Network signed an MoU with Murundi Group to deploy blockchain-based solutions for supply chain traceability and digital trade documentation, starting with the India–Australia trade corridor.
- The partnership will use XDC’s hybrid, EVM-compatible blockchain and the XDC Trade dApp to digitise trade documents, improve transparency, and enable compliant access to trade finance.
- A pilot phase launching in Q1 2026 will focus on rice and coffee flows, with plans to expand the model to additional global trade corridors across the Americas and Europe.
XDC Network has entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with Murundi Group Pty Ltd to deploy blockchain-based solutions for supply chain traceability and digital trade documentation, strengthening the role of distributed ledger technology in real-world trade finance.
The partnership brings together XDC Australia and XDC Labs India, with support from XDC Innovation Labs, to digitise and optimise cross-border trade processes. The initial focus will be on the India–Australia trade corridor, a high-growth route supported by deepening economic ties and recent bilateral trade agreements. The initiative is designed as a scalable model, with clear pathways to expand into additional global markets.

Blockchain infrastructure targets trade and supply chain friction
The collaboration will leverage XDC Network’s hybrid blockchain, which combines public transparency with enterprise-grade performance. The network’s EVM compatibility, low transaction costs, and high throughput are positioned to address persistent inefficiencies in international trade, including paper-heavy workflows, limited visibility into product provenance, delayed settlements, and constrained access to financing.
Central to the rollout is the XDC Trade dApp, part of the broader XDC Trade Network suite. The application enables the use of digital trade documents aligned with international standards and connects verified trade flows with funding opportunities. By moving documentation, verification, and financing processes on-chain, the partners aim to reduce operational risk while improving trust between exporters, importers, and capital providers.
Phased rollout begins with India–Australia trade
Phase one of the initiative is scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2026 and will pilot blockchain-enabled trade flows between India and Australia, starting with agricultural commodities such as rice and coffee beans. These established routes are intended to test the system under real commercial conditions.
Following the pilot, phase two will extend the platform to Murundi Group’s trade corridors in the Americas and Europe. XDC Network said the broader objective is to build an interoperable blockchain framework. Notably, XDC Network announced a strategic partnership with blockchain startup Orochi to introduce zero-knowledge (ZK) verifiable data capabilities specifically tailored for real-world asset (RWA) markets.
