CHLOM Global DAO — High-Level Developer & Technical Documentation (Phase 4)

Owner: CrownThrive, LLC Date: 2025-08-08 Classification: Internal — DAO Governance Build Plan & Developer Implementation Framework

1. Purpose & Scope

This technical master document provides the end-to-end developer and architect reference for building, integrating, and deploying CHLOM’s Global DAO during Phase 4. It includes high-level architectural decisions, deep technical design specifications, smart contract module documentation, security protocols, DevOps practices, and governance integration flows to ensure a consistent, secure, and globally scalable deployment.

The document is designed to:

  • Serve as the single source of truth for all DAO-related technical builds.
  • Define interfaces and dependencies between modules.
  • Provide development workflows and DevOps automation pipelines.
  • Map the progression from Phase 4 partial decentralization to Phase 5 full decentralization.

2. System Architecture (DAO-Specific)

Core Components:

  1. Governance Smart Contracts Layer
  2. Treasury Management Contracts
  3. Compliance Hook Modules
  4. Dispute Resolution Engine
  5. Identity & Access Control

External Integrations:

  • Chain Bridges for cross-chain governance.
  • DAO monitoring dashboards.
  • Governance analytics & AI-assisted impact forecasting.

3. Technical Modules

  • On-chain Proposal Engine: Solidity + Substrate pallet for proposal lifecycle.
  • Voting Service: Off-chain tally with ZK verification for privacy-preserving votes.
  • Treasury Automation: Chainlink Keepers for time-based execution.
  • Compliance Enforcement: API middleware for real-time license & compliance verification before proposal execution.
  • Governance UI: Web3-enabled front-end with DAO analytics.

4. Security & Trust Boundaries

  • Trust Zones:
    • Zone 1: On-chain immutable contracts.
    • Zone 2: Off-chain services with verifiable proofs.
    • Zone 3: Off-chain analytics & AI modules (read-only influence).
  • Security Controls:
    • Multisig for high-risk transactions.
    • Hardware Security Module (HSM) for key storage.
    • ZK proofs for sensitive voting & compliance data.
    • Continuous penetration testing.

5. Developer Workflows

  1. Development Branching Model — GitFlow with DAO-specific release channels.
  2. CI/CD Pipeline:
  3. Deployment Environments:
  4. Monitoring:

6. Roadmap — Phase 4 to Phase 5

Phase 4:

  • Deploy governance contracts for Licensing DAO & Compliance DAO.
  • Launch CHM governance token.
  • Enable partial treasury control.
  • Begin proposal simulations and shadow governance.

Phase 5:

  • Transition full treasury control.
  • DAO controls all protocol parameters.
  • Full automation of governance execution.

7. Documentation Deliverables

  • Smart Contract Specs.
  • API Documentation for DAO-compliance integration.
  • UI/UX Wireframes for governance portal.
  • Deployment Playbooks.
  • Governance Process Manuals.

Summary: This document is the central developer and architect guide for CHLOM’s Phase 4 DAO rollout, containing all high-level technical and procedural details required for successful implementation and controlled decentralization.
