Document Version: 1.0 Date: August 8, 2025 Author: CrownThrive, LLC — [email protected] Project: CHLOM™ — Compliance Hybrid Licensing & Ownership Model
1. Objective
Define the technical, operational, and compliance requirements for the DLA to function as the authoritative licensing governance layer in CHLOM. This document sets the foundation for all development, ensuring that the TLAAS protocol is fully specified and ready for integration with LEX (TLaaS), DAL, and external systems.
2. Functional Scope
- License Lifecycle Management
- Issuance, renewal, suspension, and revocation of licenses.
- Metadata embedding for compliance, ownership, and expiration.
- Identity Binding
- Integration with Fingerprint ID and DIDs for license-owner authentication.
- Enforcement of identity checks before any license action.
- Compliance Enforcement
- AI-driven compliance validation for all licenses.
- Automated enforcement of jurisdiction-specific rules.
- TLAAS Protocol Governance
- Schema definition for license tokens.
- DAO-controlled governance for updates to protocol rules.
- Cross-Module Interoperability
- Provide verification data to LEX (TLaaS) for trading and sublicensing.
- Provide verification data to DAL for payout execution.
3. Compliance Scope
- Regulatory Alignment
- Country- and industry-specific compliance rules.
- Fraud Prevention
- AI anomaly detection for suspicious license activity.
- Privacy & Security
- Use of ZK-proofs for privacy-preserving verification.
- End-to-end encryption for license data.
4. Performance Requirements
- Transaction Throughput — Minimum 500K license operations/day.
- Verification Latency — Under 2 seconds for standard queries.
- Error Rate — Less than 0.01% invalid license verifications.
5. Integration Requirements
- DLA → LEX (TLaaS) — Real-time verification APIs.
- DLA → DAL — License status confirmation before payouts.
- DLA → Compliance AI — Continuous compliance monitoring.
- DLA → CHLOM Ledger — Immutable record storage.
6. Security & Governance
- Multi-Signature Governance — DAO approval for protocol updates.
- Emergency Controls — Ability to freeze license actions on detected threats.
- Audit Logging — Immutable on-chain record of all license actions.
7. Phase Allocation
- Phase 0 — Define feature set, compliance rules, and base schemas.
- Phase 1 — Implement license lifecycle smart contracts.
- Phase 2 — Integrate identity binding and compliance AI.
- Phase 3 — Conduct security audits and performance testing.
- Phase 4 — Deploy to mainnet with DAO governance hooks.
- Phase 5 — Expand to cross-industry licensing standards.
Next Step: Proceed to Document 3 — TLAAS Protocol Specification (Phase 0) to detail the architecture, token schema, and governance mechanisms of the core licensing protocol.
