- Establish clear partnership tiers with defined benefits, obligations, and governance touchpoints.
- Ensure all integrations meet CHLOM’s compliance, licensing, and interoperability standards.
- Provide a technical onboarding path with standardized APIs, smart contracts, and cross-chain verification modules.
- Create a foundation for fully decentralized alliance governance in Phase 5.
