CrownThrive LLC

Building a Convergent Ownership Economy from Zero Capital to Decentralized Compliance

Document Status

Owner: CrownThrive LLC Editor: Kavonte Jones Sr. Version: 1.0 (Roadmap Whitepaper) Audience: Founders, partners, investors, contributors, creators, suite operators, platform leads, validators

1. Executive Summary

CrownThrive operates a convergent ecosystem that unifies beauty, wellness, media, AI, education, events, and commerce into a single ownership and licensing economy. The five-year objective is clear: start at zero capital on Jan 1, 2026 and arrive at a fully deployed CHLOM protocol with CHLOM LEX as the licensing and brand exchange by Jan 1, 2031. The protocol’s full rollout date target is 2030, with 2031 as the stabilization and scale year.

This roadmap whitepaper documents the plan to:

  1. Monetize 68+ brands as a single flywheel.
  2. Stand up CHLOM LEX as a precursor marketplace using a rebranded BrandPocket base.
  3. Evolve the marketplace into a protocol-enforced licensing engine with auditability, identity, and programmable royalties.
  4. Deliver decentralized governance, a validator network, and tokenized licensing instruments without speculation drift.
  5. Anchor cultural IP and commercial IP with enforceable rights, identity, and royalties that actually reach creators and operators.

Success looks like a working, independent economy where identity, licenses, and payouts are verified, compliant, and automated.

2. Vision and Principles
