SHIPEX brings the maritime economy on-chain on a foundation of real, attested vessels, rigorously tested contracts, and constrained governance. This page sets out our technical and operational posture in plain terms.
Tokens are backed by a fleet of real vessels, each valued and attested by an IACS member class society. On-chain token supply is reconciled against the attested reserve, and live supply figures are shown inside the app so the backing can always be checked against what is issued. The fleet provides attested backing context for the loyalty program; members do not own the vessels, and tokens carry no claim on them or on charter revenue.
The smart contracts are backed by an extensive automated test suite that combines behaviour tests, property-based fuzzing, and stateful invariant checks. The suite runs on every change so the contract behaviour stays verifiable.
Administrative capability is being transitioned to a multi-signature wallet and a timelock, so sensitive changes will require multiple approvals and a public delay before they take effect. The compliance model is built around ERC-3643 identity gating, applied as the permissioned token is deployed (the current testnet token is a simplified build).
The protocol settles on BNB Smart Chain, where balances, supply, and contract state are publicly verifiable. $SHIPEX supply is reconciled on-chain against the attested fleet, and live figures are surfaced inside the app.
Privileged actions require multiple approvers.
A public delay precedes sensitive changes.
Identity-gated transfers by design at mainnet; the testnet token is a simplified build.
Internal review done; independent CertiK assessment in progress.
The fleet, the reserve, and the technical documentation are all open to review.
Disclaimer
This page describes the project's technical and operational posture. It is not legal, financial, or professional advice. $SHIPEX is a utility token used to participate in the Shipex loyalty program; it is not an investment product, a security, e-money, or an asset-referenced token. It carries no redemption right and no claim on vessels or revenue. Program rewards are variable, never guaranteed, and paid from the on-chain reward reserve, which charter activity replenishes. The platform currently operates on testnet, with an independent CertiK assessment in progress and mainnet deployment pending. The compliance controls described are designed with MiCA, ESMA, and VARA expectations in mind; the project is not yet licensed and no regulatory or compliance guarantee is made. Figures shown here reflect attested reserve data, while live token supply is surfaced on-chain inside the app.
