1. Purpose
This document defines the high-level user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) standards for the LEX marketplace platform, ensuring intuitive navigation, clear compliance indicators, and seamless integration with CHLOM's licensing and governance modules.
2. Core Objectives
- Deliver an intuitive interface for browsing, purchasing, and managing licenses.
- Display compliance and jurisdictional information without overwhelming the user.
- Integrate advanced search and filtering capabilities for niche licensing markets.
- Support mobile-first design with responsive layouts.
- Embed DAO governance hooks for license-related proposals and voting.
3. Architecture Overview
- Frontend Framework: React.js + Next.js with TailwindCSS for rapid iteration.
- Design System: Component library with theming support (dark/light mode, accessibility).
- API Gateway Integration: GraphQL layer for fetching license data and compliance status.
- Web3 Wallet Support: MetaMask, WalletConnect, and custom CHLOM wallet.
- Localization: i18n support for global jurisdictions.
4. User Flow
- Landing Page: Highlight featured licenses, DAO updates, and trending compliance markets.
- Search & Filter: Filter by jurisdiction, license type, expiration date, or compliance score.
- License Detail Page: Show metadata, compliance badges, issuance/renewal rules, and ZKP verification status.
- Purchase/Renew Flow: Connect wallet, validate eligibility, complete transaction.
- Dashboard: View owned licenses, upcoming renewals, and governance participation.
5. UX Considerations
- Trust Signals: Visible compliance score (AegisScore) with hover-over explanation.
- Guided Actions: Step-by-step prompts for new users unfamiliar with blockchain licensing.
- Error Recovery: Inline guidance for failed transactions or ZKP verification failures.
- Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for all UI elements.
6. Wireframe Guidelines
- Header: Persistent search bar, wallet connection button, DAO notifications.
- Footer: Legal links, compliance disclosures, and jurisdiction selector.
- Card Components: Compact license cards with key metadata and visual indicators.
7. Integration Points
- Connect to LEX API for real-time data.
- Compliance automation module for displaying jurisdictional checks.
- DAO module for governance actions directly from license pages.
8. Security & Privacy
- Ensure TLS 1.3 for all connections.
- Avoid exposing raw wallet addresses in UI—use hashed identifiers.
- Use signed metadata for all displayed license information.
9. Developer Notes
- Implement Storybook for UI component testing.
- Use Cypress for end-to-end flow validation.
- Maintain mock API for UI prototyping without full backend.
This Marketplace UI/UX specification ensures LEX offers a user-friendly, globally compliant licensing marketplace that balances complexity with accessibility, enabling adoption across diverse industries and jurisdictions.
