Decentralized Licensing Authority (DLA) — Integration Architecture (Phase 0 — High-Level)

Document Version: 1.0 Date: August 8, 2025 Author: CrownThrive, LLC — [email protected] Project: CHLOM™ — Compliance Hybrid Licensing & Ownership Model

1. Objective

Outline the data flow, system interactions, and interoperability mechanisms for the DLA. This specification maps how the DLA, operating via the TLAAS protocol, integrates with LEX (TLaaS), DAL, compliance systems, identity verification layers, and external services.

2. Core Integration Points

• DLA → LEX (TLaaS)
• License verification API providing real-time status, metadata, and compliance proofs.
• Event hooks to trigger market listing eligibility checks.
• DLA → DAL
• License status confirmation prior to payout execution.
• Revocation/suspension signals to prevent unauthorized distributions.
• DLA → Compliance AI
• Continuous monitoring data feed for risk scoring.
• Enforcement triggers for suspensions or modifications.
• DLA → Identity Systems
• Fingerprint ID hash binding.
• DID resolution for owner identity and routing.
• DLA → CHLOM Ledger
• Immutable record of all license lifecycle events.
• Public read endpoints for audit purposes.
• DLA → External Services
• Public verification portal for external partners with ZK-proof privacy controls.

3. Data Flow Overview

1. License request is submitted to DLA.
2. Identity verification via Fingerprint ID + DID resolution.
3. Compliance AI checks jurisdictional and contractual adherence.
4. License is minted via TLAAS and recorded in CHLOM Ledger.
5. LEX queries DLA to verify license for marketplace actions.
6. DAL queries DLA before executing payouts.
7. Any compliance violations trigger suspension/revocation events.

4. Security & Privacy Controls

• End-to-end encryption for all API communications.
• Role-based access control tied to DID + Fingerprint ID.
• Zero-Knowledge Proof validation for privacy-preserving status checks.
• Immutable event logging on CHLOM Ledger.

5. Scalability Considerations

• Modular API endpoints to support future CHLOM module integrations.
• Horizontal scaling of verification services.
• Event queue processing to handle high transaction volumes.

6. Example Integration API Contract (Pseudocode)

GET /v1/license/{licenseId}/verify
{
  "licenseId": "LIC-9F3C",
  "status": "Active",
  "ownerDID": "did:chlom:abc",
  "fingerprintVerified": true,
  "compliance": {
    "jurisdictionCode": "US-CA",
    "riskScore": 0.02,
    "zkProof": "ipfs://cid"
  },
  "ledgerBlock": 123456
}

7. Phase Allocation

• Phase 0 — Document integration architecture and dependencies.
• Phase 1 — Implement base verification APIs and event hooks.
• Phase 2 — Integrate compliance AI and identity services.
• Phase 3 — Conduct performance and security tests for integrations.
• Phase 4 — Deploy integration services to production with DAO oversight.
• Phase 5 — Expand integrations for industry-specific licensing and third-party platforms.
