Document Version: 1.0 Date: August 8, 2025 Author: CrownThrive, LLC — [email protected] Project: CHLOM™ — Compliance Hybrid Licensing & Ownership Model
1. Objective
Provide the high-level technical specification for the TLAAS (Tokenized Licensing-as-a-Service) protocol managed by the DLA. This document defines the architecture, token schema, state transitions, and governance mechanisms that will form the foundation of all licensing within CHLOM.
2. Protocol Overview
- Purpose: Establish a decentralized, verifiable, and compliance-aware licensing standard.
- Scope: All licenses issued, validated, and enforced within CHLOM.
- Core Principles:
- Immutability — All license events are recorded on the CHLOM Ledger.
- Interoperability — Fully compatible with LEX (TLaaS), DAL, and external compliance systems.
- Privacy — Sensitive data protected via ZK-proofs.
- Governance — DAO-driven rule updates.
3. License Token Schema
Each license will be represented as a non-fungible token (NFT) with extended metadata:
- Core Fields:
- licenseId
- ownerDID
- fingerprintHash
- issueDate
- expiryDate
- status
- Compliance Fields:
- jurisdictionCode
- complianceProof
- aiRiskScore
- Operational Fields:
- usageRights
- linkedAssets
- version
4. State Transitions
- Active → Suspended — Triggered by compliance violation.
- Active → Revoked — Triggered by DAO governance or legal requirement.
- Suspended → Active — Triggered by compliance clearance.
- Active/Suspended → Expired — Automatic on reaching expiryDate.
5. Protocol Governance
- DAO Control:
- Update schema fields and rules.
- Approve new license categories.
- Modify compliance and enforcement logic.
- Multi-Sig Requirements:
- Critical changes require multiple DAO signatories.
- Proposal Lifecycle:
- Draft → Review → Vote → Implementation.
6. Interoperability Flows
- DLA → LEX (TLaaS) — Verification API returns current license status, metadata, and compliance proofs.
- DLA → DAL — Payout approval API confirms license validity.
- DLA → External Systems — Public verification endpoints with privacy-preserving proofs.
7. Security Considerations
- On-Chain Verification: All status changes validated on-chain.
- Immutable History: No deletion of historical records.
- Access Control: Role-based access with DID + Fingerprint binding.
- Data Privacy: Compliance metadata stored off-chain, accessible via ZK-proofs.
8. Phase Allocation
- Phase 0 — Define token schema, governance model, and state transitions.
- Phase 1 — Implement base smart contracts for license tokens.
- Phase 2 — Integrate compliance, identity, and risk scoring.
- Phase 3 — Conduct audits and performance tests.
- Phase 4 — Deploy on mainnet with DAO governance enabled.
- Phase 5 — Expand schema for industry-specific licensing.
Next Step: Proceed to Document 4 — Smart Contract Architecture Spec (Phase 0) for DLA to define the on-chain components implementing TLAAS logic.
