Phased Deployment Plan – WDNS, TLaaS, DLA, LEX
Phase 0 – Foundation & Infrastructure (Current Stage)
Objective: Build the skeleton, test core compliance logic, and set groundwork for interoperability.
Key Actions:
- Core Framework Architecture – Finalize CHLOM protocol structure, namespaces, and modular smart contract design.
- Compliance Engine Prototype – Initial rule engine to validate licensing events.
- WDNS Namespace Design – Define top-level industry namespaces + DAO governance hooks.
- API Gateway & Dev Portal Setup – Secure API layer for all Core 4 products.
- Partner & Advisory Alignment – Identify legal, technical, and industry advisors.
- Funding Preparation – Create investment deck with early mockups and feature breakdown.
Outputs:
- Governance & compliance base layer deployed to testnet
- Namespace registry schema locked
- Initial partner discussions live
Phase 1 – WDNS (Web3 Domain & Namespace System)
Objective: Establish identity + namespace layer for all CHLOM licenses and participants.
Core Deliverables:
- Namespace Registry Smart Contracts – On-chain domain allocation system.
- Entity Verification System – Fingerprint ID & compliance verification before namespace issuance.
- DAO Namespace Governance – Community voting for namespace creation/approval.
- Public WDNS Explorer – Search and verify namespaces, licenses, and associated entities.
- Integration APIs – For partners to register names directly via their platforms.
Strategic Wins:
- Every CHLOM license tied to a unique namespace.
- Early namespace reservations generate pre-revenue via premium claims.
- First contact point for industry adoption (similar to ENS but compliance-driven).
Phase 2 – TLaaS (Tokenized Licensing as a Service)
Objective: Issue, verify, and enforce smart licenses as tradable digital assets.
Core Deliverables:
- Smart License Templates – Industry-specific configurations (media, gaming, finance, etc.).
- Override Enforcement System – Real-time compliance actions for violations.
- Royalty Splitting Contracts – Automated payout routing to multiple parties.
- License Expiry & Renewal Automation – Self-updating contract states.
- QR/NFT Verification Tools – Off-chain + on-chain proof of license validity.
Strategic Wins:
- CHLOM becomes the licensing infrastructure for multiple industries.
- Recurring revenue from license creation + renewal fees.
- Opens path for LEX marketplace liquidity later.
Phase 3 – DLA (Decentralized Licensing Authority)
Objective: Fully automate governance, dispute resolution, and compliance oversight.
Core Deliverables:
- Dispute Resolution Module – DAO + AI-driven case evaluation & rulings.
- Governance Voting Portal – Community and industry member proposals.
- License Risk Engine – AI-based risk scoring for licenses and issuers.
- Audit Trails & Compliance Reports – Verifiable on-chain compliance logs.
- Fraud Detection Layer – Zero-Knowledge Proof integration for secure verifications.
Strategic Wins:
- Establishes CHLOM as the “compliance backbone” of decentralized licensing.
- Builds trust for enterprise adoption.
- Enables cross-border legal interoperability.
Phase 4 – LEX (License Exchange Marketplace)
Objective: Create the global decentralized marketplace for license trading, sub-licensing, and investment.
Core Deliverables:
- Marketplace Smart Contracts – Auctions, buy now, sub-licensing mechanics.
- Portfolio Dashboard – Manage owned, listed, and expired licenses.
- Analytics & Valuation Tools – Market-driven license pricing insights.
- Fractional Licensing System – Syndicate IP rights to multiple holders.
- Multi-Currency Payments – Crypto, stablecoins, fiat support via partners.
- Secondary Market Tracking – Provenance tracking for license lifecycle.
Strategic Wins:
- Turns licenses into liquid, tradable assets.
- Attracts institutional and retail investors.
- Generates continuous marketplace fee revenue.
Phase 5 – Enterprise Expansion & Interoperability
Objective: Scale globally with cross-industry adoption and advanced integrations.
Key Actions:
- Partner with major SaaS, IP law, media, gaming, and finance platforms.
- Enable cross-chain license interoperability.
- Expand licensing categories beyond IP — patents, land rights, scientific formulas.
- Deploy global compliance alliances for regulatory standardization.
