Silk Road International (SCZL) is the most hardcore cross-border payment + supply chain project in the crypto world, simply put, it’s the blockchain version of the Silk Road.
Launched at the end of 2024, it suddenly became popular in 2025, mainly because it directly brought the concept of 'Belt and Road' onto the chain, targeting traditional trade pain points in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa, where banks often exploit users.
The core of the project is the Silk Road Chain, a Layer 1 optimized for cross-border trade, supporting multi-currency settlements (Renminbi, US Dollar, local fiat), smart contract automatic customs clearance, supply chain financing, and traceability NFTs. Enterprises put goods on the chain, and buyers can easily see where the goods come from, where they are going, and if there are any tricks in between.
Settlement speed is quick, completed in just a few days, and costs are 90% lower than traditional SWIFT. $SCZL is the platform's native token, mainly used for paying gas fees, staking for rewards, and participating in governance. The early community mainly consists of traders and logistics companies from Central Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as some small government agencies.
In 2025, the Silk Road Wallet was launched, directly supporting local bank cards and mobile payments, making it easy for domestic users to participate.
Why did it suddenly explode? Because global trade frictions are increasing, the dominance of the US dollar is being questioned, and Chinese enterprises going abroad need a reliable payment tool.
SCZL does not hype memes; it offers concrete cost reduction and efficiency improvement: helping small and medium-sized enterprises save money, helping governments save foreign exchange, and helping everyone save time. TVL has already surged into the top thirty, with partners including customs from several Central Asian countries and large logistics companies.
Silk Road International is a dream of making money and goods truly travel the Silk Road, the most down-to-earth 'Belt and Road' project in the crypto world, which may truly become the Alipay of cross-border trade in the future.
