CHLOM Metaprotocol — Governance-Licensing Synchronization Architecture

This document defines how the CHLOM Metaprotocol—a patent-pending, multi-layer, compliance and governance framework—synchronizes licensing operations with governance actions across Web2, Web3, multi-chain, and biometric-enabled environments. All protocols and components described herein are protected intellectual property of CrownThrive, LLC. Any access, integration, or implementation requires a formal license agreement, as outlined on crownthrive.com.

1. Purpose & Scope

The CHLOM Metaprotocol enforces a direct, verifiable link between governance decisions and license lifecycle events (issuance, modification, revocation). It ensures consistent compliance across:

• TLaaS (LEX) for licensing execution.
• TLAAS (DLA) for compliance validation.
• DAL for unified governance control.
• DID registries & biometric assignment layers for identity-bound enforcement.
• Web2, Web3, enterprise, and multi-chain integrations.

2. Core Components

• Governance Engine: DAL/DAO-based decision-making system.
• License Execution Layer (LEX/TLaaS): Executes governance-approved licenses.
• Synchronization Bus: Event-driven architecture (EDA) for cross-layer event propagation.
• Compliance Hooks: TLAAS integrations for jurisdictional, identity, and biometric checks.
• Bridge Adapters: Secure connectors for Web2 APIs, enterprise SSO, and multi-chain proofs.

3. Data Flow & State Sync

1. Proposal submitted to DAL governance contract.
2. Governance vote passes → emits LicenseActionApproved.
3. Synchronization Bus authenticates, verifies signatures, and forwards to LEX.
4. LEX invokes TLAAS compliance hooks (DID + biometric fingerprint match, jurisdictional scope checks).
5. Upon success, LEX executes license action and anchors proofs to chain.
6. Audit records stored in IPFS/Arweave, linked to governance ledger.

pragma solidity ^0.8.24;

interface ILicenseExecutor {
    function execute(bytes calldata licenseData) external;
}

contract GovernanceSync {
    address public governance;
    ILicenseExecutor public executor;

    modifier onlyGovernance() {
        require(msg.sender == governance, "NOT_GOV");
        _;
    }

    event LicenseActionApproved(bytes32 indexed proposalId, bytes licenseData);

    constructor(address _gov, address _exec) {
        governance = _gov;
        executor = ILicenseExecutor(_exec);
    }

    function approveAndExecute(bytes32 proposalId, bytes calldata licenseData) external onlyGovernance {
        emit LicenseActionApproved(proposalId, licenseData);
        executor.execute(licenseData);
    }
}

5. Synchronization Logic (Off-Chain)

• Implemented via Kafka/NATS message queues or blockchain event listeners.
• Verifies event signatures and includes replay protection.
• Supports multi-chain bridging via proof-of-inclusion & light client verification.

6. Biometric & DID Enforcement

• Fingerprints are assigned at enrollment, bound to DIDs, and stored as ZK commitments.
• DAL multi-sig validators require biometric factor confirmation.
• Supports revocation, re-enrollment, and credential rotation without breaking DID binding.

7. Compliance Enforcement via TLAAS

• DID verification (biometric-inclusive).
• Geographic & jurisdictional restrictions.
• License scope validation.
• Failure triggers recorded denial events with immutable reason codes.

8. Security & Patent Protection

• Event authenticity: Governance events cryptographically signed & verified.
• Bridge trust: On-chain verification of cross-chain governance messages.
• Audit integrity: Cryptographic anchoring of all artifacts.
• Patent-Pending Declaration: All described mechanisms—including governance sync, DID-biometric binding, and multi-environment bridging—are protected as pending IP under CrownThrive, LLC.

9. Operational Runbook

• Link governance proposals to license artifacts in the registry.
• Continuous monitoring for sync failures.
• Scheduled bridge key rotation & validator attestation.
• License access control logs reviewed quarterly.
