CHLOM™ Royalty Streaming Pallet (RSP) Whitepaper

Version 1.4 | CrownThrive, LLC (Full IP Ownership) Tagline: “On-chain streams. Off-chain clarity.”

Audience & Scope

This whitepaper specifies the Royalty Streaming Pallet (RSP) — the runtime module that enables continuous, compliance-aware royalty flows within the CHLOM blockchain. RSP is the low-level execution layer behind the Royalty Streaming Engine (RSE) and coordinates directly with ADE, DLA, ACE, DAL, Treasury, Oracles, and CSN.

It covers its architecture, storage, data structures, runtime calls, extrinsics, governance hooks, testing, and cross-layer integration.

0. Introduction

Traditional royalties are slow and manual. RSP replaces batch cycles with per-second or per-event micro-settlements, recorded immutably through DAL, verified by ACE, and backed by Treasury liquidity.

It encodes programmable splits, adaptive attribution weights, escrow mechanisms, and environmental sustainability hooks—all within a composable, upgradeable Substrate pallet.

1. Design Principles

1. Deterministic & auditable: Integer-based math recorded on DAL with full proof trace.
2. Compliance-first: Every transfer is checked through ACE & DLA state.
3. Composable: Exposes interfaces for ADE, DLA, and Treasury.
4. Fail-safe: Streams can pause, throttle, or escrow upon compliance risk.
5. Gas & weight efficient: Micro-accumulation and batch settlements minimize fees.

3. Data Structures

pub type StreamId = Hash;
pub type LicenseId = Hash;
pub type BasisPoints = u16; // 10000 = 100%

pub struct Party<AccountId> {
    pub did: DID,
    pub account: AccountId,
    pub share_bps: BasisPoints,
    pub verified: bool,
}

pub enum Frequency { PerSecond, PerBlock, Interval(u32) }
pub enum StreamMode { Pull, Push, Escrowed }

pub struct Stream<AccountId, Balance, Moment> {
    pub id: StreamId,
    pub license: LicenseId,
    pub creator: AccountId,
    pub recipients: BoundedVec<Party<AccountId>>,
    pub frequency: Frequency,
    pub mode: StreamMode,
    pub next_settlement_at: Moment,
    pub accrued: Balance,
    pub eco_bps: BasisPoints,
    pub paused: bool,
    pub last_risk: u32,
}

pub struct UsageEvent<Balance, Moment> {
    pub stream: StreamId,
    pub weight_bps: BasisPoints,
    pub amount: Balance,
    pub ts: Moment,
}

4. Storage Layout

Streams<T>: Map<StreamId → Stream>
Accrual<T>: Map<StreamId → Balance>
LicenseIndex<T>: DoubleMap<LicenseId, StreamId → ()>
RiskCache<T>: Map<StreamId → u32>
LastSettle<T>: Map<StreamId → Moment>

5. Extrinsics (Public Calls)

fn create_stream(license: LicenseId, recipients: Vec<Party>, frequency: Frequency, mode: StreamMode, eco_bps: BasisPoints)
fn credit_usage(stream: StreamId, amount: Balance, weight_bps: BasisPoints)
fn settle(stream: StreamId)
fn settle_batch(streams: Vec<StreamId>)
fn pause(stream: StreamId)
fn resume(stream: StreamId)
fn update_recipients(stream: StreamId, recipients: Vec<Party>)
fn set_frequency(stream: StreamId, frequency: Frequency)

6. Events & Errors

Event:
    StreamCreated(StreamId, LicenseId)
    UsageCredited(StreamId, Balance)
    Settled(StreamId, Balance, u32)
    Paused(StreamId)
    Resumed(StreamId)
    RecipientsUpdated(StreamId)

Error:
    NotLicensed
    InvalidRecipients
    OverAllocation
    TooFrequent
    StreamPaused
    RiskBlocked
    InsufficientFunds

7. Settlement Algorithm

fn do_settle(stream_id: StreamId) -> Result<Balance, Error> {
    let s = Streams::get(stream_id).ok_or(NotLicensed)?;
    ensure!(!s.paused, StreamPaused);

    let risk = ACE::risk_score(&s.license, &s.recipients);
    ensure!(risk < 80, RiskBlocked);

    let mut pool = Accrual::get(stream_id);
    if pool.is_zero() { return Ok(pool); }

    if s.eco_bps > 0 {
        let eco = pool * s.eco_bps.into() / 10_000u32.into();
        pool -= eco;
        Treasury::eco_distribute(eco)?;
    }

    for p in s.recipients.iter() {
        let owed = pool * p.share_bps.into() / 10_000u32.into();
        Treasury::payout(&p.account, owed)?;
    }

    Accrual::insert(stream_id, 0);
    DAL::attest_royalty(stream_id, pool);
    Ok(pool)
}

8. Governance Hooks

pub trait GovernanceHooks {
    fn set_global_cap_per_block(cap: Balance);
    fn set_default_eco_bps(bps: BasisPoints);
    fn set_risk_threshold(level: u32);
}

Controlled by R-DAO and T-DAO; all updates logged in DAL.

9. Integration Contracts

10. Security Model

1. ACE Gate: All payouts validated by compliance engine.
2. Escrow Mode: Risky streams accumulate until cleared.
3. Overflow-safe math: Saturating arithmetic ensures stability.
4. DID Verification: All recipients confirmed via DLA.
5. Replay Prevention: DAL nonce protection on usage events.
6. Post-Quantum Ready: Optional Kyber512 key support.

11. Example Flows

Music Stream:

1. DLA issues license NFT with 60/30/10 split.
2. RSP stream created with 1% eco allocation.
3. Usage events credited every 10 seconds.
4. Keeper calls

Film License (Escrow Mode):

1. ACE flags risk.
2. Stream auto-pauses, funds accrue in escrow.
3. DAL case resolves; stream resumes & releases payments.

12. Observability & Operations

• Prometheus metrics for accrual, settlement, pause states, risk stats.
• DAL weekly Merkle rollups for public proof.
• CSN threads link to DAL case IDs for transparency.

13. Roadmap

14. Closing Statement

The Royalty Streaming Pallet (RSP) is the mechanical engine that turns usage into perpetual, verifiable income. It fuses fairness with automation—distributing royalties in real time, enforcing compliance, and embedding accountability through DAL proofs.

By tightly coupling to ACE, DLA, ADE, Treasury, and Oracles, RSP ensures the CHLOM economy remains transparent, sustainable, and just.
