  • Start here for the big picture and concrete build paths.
  • Each section ends with “What to read next” cross‑links into the Compliance category.
  • Code examples are illustrative; the authoritative source is the runtime repository and release notes.

1 · System Overview

CHLOM Compliance is the on‑chain enforcement plane for CHLOM™. It binds licenses to jurisdictional rules, validates KPIs, automates sanctions/rewards, and exports immutable audit trails. Compliance logic is executed by deterministic pallets with attestations from oracles and oversight by DAO governance.

2 · Core Protocols (Functional Specs)

2.1 Licensing Enforcement Protocol (LEP)

Binds License NFTs to live rule packs and breach policies.

Extrinsics (examples):

  • compliance.bindLicense(item_id, pack_id, kpi_profile_id)
  • compliance.updatePack(item_id, pack_id)
  • compliance.freeze(item_id, reason_code)

2.2 Regulatory Conformity Protocol (RCP)

Applies jurisdictional Compliance Packs (statutes, disclosures, consent, escrow).

  • packs.activate(region_code, version)
  • packs.deprecate(region_code, version)

2.3 KPI Enforcement Protocol (KEP)

Deterministic KPI thresholds with sanction/reward curves.

  • kpi.set_thresholds(class_id, metrics[])
  • kpi.report(item_id, metric_id, value, oracle_sig)
  • kpi.flag(item_id, code)

2.4 Dispute Resolution Protocol (DRP)

On‑chain case lifecycle with evidence attestations and appeal windows.

  • dla.openCase(item_id, reason, evidence_ref)
  • dla.applySanction(item_id, sanction_code)
  • dla.resolve(case_id, ruling)

  • CompliancePack:
  • LicenseBinding:
  • KpiProfile:
  • DlaCase:
  • AuditLog:

5 · Protocol Flows (Sequence Specs)

5.1 Compliance Lifecycle

Apply pack → Bind to license → Operate & report → Monitor thresholds → Auto action or DLA case → Resolve/Appeal → Update pack.

5.2 Breach Handling

kpi.flagdla.openCase → evidence via attestations.submitProofdla.applySanction (slashing, freeze, escrow) → appeal window → resolve.

5.3 Audit Export

Indexer composes Merkle proof over AuditLog → export CSV/JSON + proof → regulator verification via light client.

What to read next: Doc 09 — Sequence Diagrams & State Machines.

6 · Governance & DAO Mechanics

  • Voting: CHM stake + reputation weight; quorum/threshold curves; conviction locking; compliance council role.
  • Scheduling: Time‑locked execution for sensitive updates; scheduled pack rotations.
  • Emergency: Council fast‑track (freeze/unfreeze) with post‑hoc referendum.

What to read next: Doc 10 — Governance Parameters & Processes.

7 · Token Model (Runtime View)

  • CHM (governance): stake for voting; validator rewards; council seats gated by rep.
  • CHLOM (utility): fees for compliance operations; bonds for license applications; slashing on confirmed breaches; treasury fines routed per policy.

What to read next: Doc 11 — Token Implementation & Fee Model.

8 · Oracles & Off‑Chain Workers

  • Feeds: KYC/KYB, sanctions lists (OFAC/PEP), IoT occupancy, POS revenue, sustainability receipts.
  • OCWs: batch reports, rate‑limit external calls, sign & submit attestations with retry/backoff.

What to read next: Doc 12 — Oracle Gateway & OCW Patterns.

9 · Indexing & Analytics

  • Pipelines: SubQuery/Subsquid for cases, flags, sanctions, offsets, pack versions.

What to read next: Doc 13 — Indexing Blueprints; Doc 14 — Observability & Telemetry.

10 · Security, Privacy, and Compliance

  • Threats: oracle spoofing, KPI forgery, governance capture, MEV at LEX gate, data leakage.
  • Controls: multisig treasuries, code audits, fuzzing, property tests, weight benchmarking, kill‑switch for faulty packs, circuit breakers on mass flags.
  • Privacy: ZK‑proofs for sensitive KPIs; selective disclosure; per‑metric redaction; data‑minimization defaults.

What to read next: Doc 15 — Security Standards & Threat Model; Doc 16 — Privacy/ZK Patterns.

11 · Sustainability & Impact Hooks

  • recordImpact(kind, amount, ref)
