1. Purpose & Scope
This document defines the onboarding, identity verification, and membership eligibility framework for CHLOM Global DAO during Phase 4. It ensures that all participants — individuals, organizations, and smart agents — are authenticated, vetted, and assigned the appropriate access levels before engaging with governance, funding, or operational activities.
Goals:
- Create a secure, scalable onboarding process.
- Integrate AI, ML, and ZKP-based identity verification.
- Support global KYC/KYB compliance without centralizing sensitive data.
- Establish clear membership tiers and role assignments.
2. Onboarding Workflow
- Application Submission
- Identity Verification
- ML-Based Fraud Screening
- Role & Tier Assignment
3. Smart Contract Integrations
- Identity NFT — Non-transferable token representing verified membership status.
- Access Control Contract — Grants or restricts function calls based on member tier.
- Revocation Module — Automatically suspends access for expired or compromised identities.
4. Security & Privacy Measures
- ZKP Boundaries — Personal data never stored on-chain.
- Encrypted Off-Chain Vaults — Store minimal metadata for audits.
- Multi-Sig Approval for High-Tier Access — Prevents single point of compromise.
5. Governance Hooks
- Dispute Resolution Integration — Onboarding disputes routed to DAO arbitration committee.
- Reputation System — Participation and performance tracked for tier upgrades or downgrades.
6. Phase 4 → Phase 5 Evolution
- Phase 4: Hybrid onboarding model — AI + human committee oversight.
- Phase 5: Fully automated identity lifecycle with DAO-controlled parameter updates.
Summary: This framework establishes a secure, scalable, and globally compliant onboarding system for CHLOM Global DAO, ensuring participant trustworthiness while enabling seamless integration into governance and operations.
