Singapore · Aviation · Phase 2 financing now open

The only autonomous robot built to work
inside aircraft cargo holds.

100,000 narrow-body flights take off every day. 70 to 80% of them are still loaded by hand, with workers crawling into 1.1 m holds and lifting 30 kg bags in heat. CargoCobra is the first fully autonomous system designed to take that work off human shoulders. Phase 2 of our innovation financing opens for purchase in May 2026 via the Credentilyx platform. Indications of interest are open now.

01 · The problem

Baggage handling hasn’t changed in 70 years.

Inside the belly of every narrow-body aircraft, two humans crawl through a 1.1 to 1.3 m hold and stack bags by hand, flight after flight, in 45°C summer heat. It is the highest-injury role in aviation, and the last manual bottleneck in the entire turnaround.

USD 18 billion annual market. 100,000 flights × 365 days × ~USD 500 average. Zero deployed automation works inside the hold without human help or aircraft modification.

02 · The solution

CargoCobra. Built for the cargo hold. Nowhere else.

Every dimension, joint and sensor designed around one constraint: fitting and working inside a B737 or A320 belly. Drops in via the existing belt loader. No retrofit, no human, no aircraft modification.

AI machine vision

Real-time detection and pose estimation for every bag, soft, hard, oversized or fragile, inside the hold.

VLA model control

A vision-language-action model orchestrates the robot end to end. No brittle scripts, no per-bag teach points.

Adaptive suction gripper

Validated in the OEM POC. Handles 30 kg suitcases and tagged-fragile items with the same gentle grip.

Telescopic transport

Patent-pending screw-in-screw mechanism solves the geometric constraints of narrow-body holds in 1.1 m clearance.

Precision motion

Mecanum-driven omnidirectional base. Centimetre placement accuracy across the entire hold volume.

Drop-in deployment

Rolls onto the aircraft from the existing belt loader. Zero changes to ground equipment or to the aircraft itself.

04 · A new way to fund deep tech

We make innovation investable.

CargoCobra is being financed through Credentilyx, a Singapore platform that turns innovation milestones into structured, legally audited service contracts. You back real, patented deep tech with phase-gated risk reduction, IP-backed downside protection, and liquidity that venture capital simply cannot offer.

Audited · Regulated · Tradable

No 7 to 10 year lockup

Unlike traditional venture capital, you are not locked in until an exit. Service contracts are transferable. Earlier contracts gain value as the project de-risks at every verified milestone.

IP-backed downside

The patent (PCT/IB2025/058435) is the collateral. If CargoCobra fails to reach MVP by Q4 2029, the IP is liquidated and proceeds are returned to holders, net of costs. A real safety net, not just a promise.

Phase-gated capital

Funds sit with an independent Trustee and are released only after each milestone is verified by an external reviewer. Capital deploys phase by phase, never all at once. No verification, no disbursement.

Backed by real progress

Each contract is tied to a patented, customer-validated deep-tech asset. POC already delivered and signed off by a global aircraft OEM. SGD 400K Singapore government grant approved.

Service tokens, not equity

No tax complications. No investor liability. No regulatory exposure to securities frameworks. Structured under Singapore law as service contracts, with classification confirmed via formal legal opinion.

Asymmetric upside

Phase 2 holders enter at the lowest viable price and the front of the conversion queue. Worked example below shows roughly 12× coupon value per SGD invested at Phase 2.

Built by Martin Schweiger & Schweiger & Partners in Singapore, with 20+ years of patent and IP-law expertise. Token issuance designed for MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) regulatory compliance. Currency: SGD. Not available to U.S. persons.

05 · The round

Phase 2 opens May 2026.

CargoCobra is being financed in tranches that follow Technology Readiness Level. Each phase represents a higher level of de-risking, and a smaller discount on future hardware. The earlier you come in, the more value sits inside each contract. Indications of interest are open now; sale opens in May 2026.

What you get
  • Discount coupon on future hardware. 1,000 tokens convert into a coupon for up to 90% discount on a fully automated CargoCobra unit (subject to commercial terms and availability).
  • Tiered access to the project data room. 10+ tokens unlocks summary documentation at each stage gate. 100+ tokens unlocks the full due-diligence pack. NDA required. Tokens are temporarily locked during a stage gate to prevent double-use of access rights.
What you do not get
  • No equity, no shares, no voting rights.
  • No dividends, profit-sharing or revenue participation.
  • No guaranteed return. Token price across phases reflects de-risking, not investment yield.
  • No direct product redemption. The token is a discount coupon, not a purchase order.
Worked example

1,000 Phase 2 tokens, in plain numbers.

A fully automated CargoCobra unit lists at roughly SGD 130,000 (about USD 100,000) in the configuration scoped with our launch customers. 1,000 tokens convert into a coupon for up to 90% off that price, a coupon value of SGD 117,000. Here is what that looks like at every phase.

PhaseToken priceCost of 1,000 tokensCoupon value (90% of ~SGD 130K)Value per SGD invested
Phase 1 · TRL 2 · sold outSGD 2SGD 2,000~SGD 117,000~58×

Phase 4 · TRL 8–9 · launchSGD 100SGD 100,000~SGD 117,000~1.2×

The SGD value of the coupon stays constant. Only the price you pay for it changes, dropping (in discount terms) at each verified milestone. Earlier holders carry more project risk and capture more value per SGD. Hardware list price shown indicatively. Discount applies subject to commercial terms and availability.

Where to buy · sale opens May 2026

Two ways to participate.

On-chain via crypto wallet

From May 2026, $CCBR tokens can be purchased directly on cargocobra.ai and on the Credentilyx platform. Settlement runs on Polygon and Ethereum. Bring any standard non-custodial wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger and other major options).

  • Minimum: 10 tokens (SGD 100)
  • Self-custodied, transferable
  • Live from May 2026

Paper contract for SGD 10,000+

For investors who do not want to deal with crypto wallets, the same Phase 2 economics are available as a paper service contract. Held by you (or your nominee), with the same milestone gating and IP-collateral protection. Minimum size SGD 10,000.

  • No crypto wallet needed
  • Standard KYC and onboarding via Credentilyx
  • Available now to soft-committed investors

Both routes give you exactly the same instrument: a $CCBR service contract with phase-gated milestones, IP-backed downside, priority conversion by purchase date, and no equity, dividends or guaranteed return. Until May 2026 we are accepting indications of interest only. Use the form below to get on the briefing list.

06 · How it works

Singapore-structured. Milestone-gated. Patent-collateralised.

The round is issued through the Credentilyx Innovation Tokenisation Platform. Funds are held in trust and released only when independently verified milestones are met.

01

Issued via Credentilyx

The Credentilyx platform handles token issuance, custody and compliance under Singapore law. Antomation focuses on building the robot.

02

Held by an independent Trustee

Funds raised sit with a Trustee, not with the founder. The Trustee disburses only on written milestone confirmation.

03

Verified by an External Reviewer

An independent domain expert (R&D, IP, market) verifies each milestone before any tranche is released. Appointed by the platform, never affiliated with the founder.

04

Patent collateral

If MVP (TRL 7) is not reached by Q4 2029, the patent (PCT/IB2025/058435) is liquidated and proceeds returned to token holders, net of costs.

Priority conversion · holders do not have to actively sell

Credentilyx and Antomation organise the conversion process for you.

When CargoCobra units start shipping to ground handlers and airlines, Credentilyx and Antomation jointly run the coupon-conversion programme. Holders do not have to find a buyer themselves, list anything on a marketplace, or negotiate a sale.

Conversion priority is granted by purchase date. The earliest holders get first call on converting their tokens into discount coupons against shipping units. Phase 2 buyers therefore sit ahead of Phase 3 and Phase 4 buyers in the conversion queue, in addition to having paid the lowest price per coupon.

Holders who prefer not to convert can hold or transfer their contracts on the secondary market that Credentilyx is building, alongside the long-term direction of structured contracts on regulated exchanges.

Issued in SGD. Singapore-regulated structure. Service token classification under MAS guidelines. Formal legal opinion in progress. Issued via credentilyx.com.

08 · Questions

Anticipated questions, answered.

If yours is not covered here, ask it on the briefing call below.

Who can invest?

Anyone outside the United States, individuals or institutions. Because the $CCBR contract is structured as a service token under Singapore law (not a security), accreditation is not a regulatory requirement. KYC is performed at onboarding by Credentilyx.

Why are U.S. persons excluded?

Because the U.S. regulatory framework for tokenised instruments is, today, the most restrictive and expensive in the world. The short version:

1. The SEC’s reach is extraterritorial. Under the Howey test (a 1946 Supreme Court ruling still applied to crypto), almost anything sold with an "expectation of profits derived from the efforts of others" can be classified as an investment contract, and therefore a security, regardless of where the issuer is domiciled. The SEC’s 2017 DAO Report and the enforcement actions that followed (Telegram TON, Kik Kin, Block.one EOS, Ripple XRP) make clear that token issuers offering to U.S. persons are exposed to U.S. securities law even when they never set foot in the country.

2. Compliance costs would consume the round. To legally offer a tokenised instrument to U.S. persons, an issuer typically needs SEC registration or a qualifying exemption (Reg D, Reg A+, Reg CF), state-by-state Blue Sky filings, a U.S.-licensed broker-dealer for distribution, full BSA/AML and FinCEN money-services-business compliance, and ongoing reporting. For a SGD 1 million raise, that legal and compliance overhead alone would consume the entire round.

3. Banking exposure. Many USD wire routes pass through correspondent banks in New York. Even non-USD flows can pull a Singapore issuer into U.S. enforcement reach if U.S. persons are touched. Credentilyx therefore prices and settles in SGD or EUR, not USD.

4. Singapore and the EU offer cleaner frameworks. Singapore (MAS) explicitly distinguishes service tokens from capital markets products in its November 2025 Tokenisation Guide. The EU (MiCA, in force 2024) has a clear utility-token regime. Operating from Singapore lets us serve global investors under a coherent rulebook instead of fighting the U.S. patchwork.

This is the same approach Credentilyx applies platform-wide: it does not work with U.S.-based founders and does not offer or promote tokens or services to U.S. persons. If a future U.S.-compliant entity is set up, it will be a separate, independent structure built specifically to comply with U.S. law. None exists today.

I’m not in aviation. Can I still benefit?

Yes, and you do not have to do anything operational. Pure financial investors can simply hold their $CCBR contracts and let the system work for them.

Antomation handles the selling. When CargoCobra units start shipping to ground handlers and airlines, Antomation runs the commercial process directly with those customers. Token holders do not need to find buyers, list anything on a marketplace, talk to ramp operators, or negotiate a sale. You sit back; we sell the machines.

Token holders have beneficiary conversion priority by purchase date. When a unit is sold to a ground handler, the discount on that sale is matched against existing $CCBR holders, in order of who bought their tokens first. Phase 2 buyers therefore sit at the front of the queue, ahead of Phase 3 and Phase 4 buyers, and the value flows back to them automatically as units ship. No active conversion needed, no aviation knowledge required, no logistics on your side.

What is the minimum?

The minimum is 10 tokens (SGD 100) in Phase 2. That entry already unlocks summary documentation in the data room. Useful thresholds above the minimum: 100+ tokens (SGD 1,000) unlocks the full due-diligence pack; 1,000 tokens (SGD 10,000) is the unit needed to convert into one full hardware discount coupon worth approximately SGD 117,000.

How do I actually participate?

Three steps. One: register your interest on this page. Two: we invite you to a private briefing call where we walk through the project, the round, and answer your questions in detail. Three: from May 2026, you can either purchase $CCBR tokens directly on cargocobra.ai or credentilyx.com using a Polygon or Ethereum wallet, or, for investments of SGD 10,000 and above, hold the same instrument as a paper contract via Credentilyx. No payment is requested or accepted on this page.

Is this regulated and legal?

Yes. The $CCBR contract is structured as a service token under Singapore law and has been confirmed by an instructed Singapore law firm as compliant with the relevant MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) guidelines, including the November 2025 Guide on the Tokenisation of Capital Markets Products and the Guide to Digital Token Offerings.

This means $CCBR is not a security, not an equity token, not a debenture, not a unit in a collective investment scheme, not a derivative, and not a digital payment token. It is a service token: a transferable discount entitlement plus tiered data-room access plus an active referral commission. No equity, no dividends, no profit share, no guaranteed return.

Issuance is in SGD, fully under Singapore jurisdiction. Credentilyx itself is not a financial services provider; it provides business consultancy, technology infrastructure and legal services. U.S. persons are explicitly excluded from participation.

Could I lose everything?

Yes. This is early-stage deep tech and there is no guarantee the project will reach MVP. The IP-collateral mechanism provides a floor: if MVP is not reached by Q4 2029, the patent (PCT/IB2025/058435) is liquidated and proceeds are returned to holders, net of liquidation costs. Recovery values are not guaranteed. You should only commit capital you can afford to lose.

When can I exit?

Service contracts are transferable. There is no 7 to 10 year venture-capital lockup. Credentilyx is building a secondary market for the contracts, and the long-term direction is structured contracts on regulated exchanges (Frankfurt, Munich). You can also wait for hardware shipments and convert via the priority queue. Phase 2 holders sit at the front of that queue.

What about tax?

Service tokens do not represent equity, dividends or fixed-income securities, so they avoid the tax classifications attached to those instruments. There is no withholding from the issuer side. Your personal tax position depends on your country of residence and how you treat the contract. Talk to your tax advisor.

Do I need a crypto wallet?

You have two options. If you want to self-custody: bring any standard non-custodial wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger). $CCBR settles on Polygon and Ethereum from May 2026. If you do not want to deal with crypto: for investments of SGD 10,000 and above we offer the same instrument as a paper service contract held via Credentilyx, with the same milestone gating and IP-collateral protection. No wallet, no seed phrases, no on-chain interaction.

How is this different from crowdfunding?

Three things. Funds in trust: capital sits with an independent Trustee, not with the founder. Verified milestones: tranches are released only after an independent External Reviewer signs off on each technical milestone. Real collateral: the patent is the downside backstop, not just a promise. Crowdfunding platforms typically have none of those safeguards.

Why CargoCobra specifically?

Patent (20 of 20 claims confirmed novel and inventive by the international search report). Paid POC with a global aircraft OEM completed and signed off. SGD 400K EnterpriseSG grant approved. USD 18 billion addressable market. Zero deployed automation works inside the cargo hold without aircraft modification or human help. We are the only fully autonomous solution.
