TLaaS (LEX) — Compliance & Audit Logging: Building Automated Event Logging and AI Fraud Detection

1. Purpose

Compliance and audit logging in TLaaS (LEX) ensures that all license-related activities are recorded, verifiable, and easily accessible for governance, regulatory, and dispute resolution purposes. This system integrates with TLAAS (DLA) for validation oversight and DAL for governance-level investigations, while incorporating AI-based fraud detection for proactive security.

2. Why Automated Logging Matters

• Regulatory Compliance: Maintains verifiable records for KYC/AML and jurisdictional rules.
• Dispute Resolution: Provides indisputable evidence in DAL-led cases.
• Fraud Prevention: Enables AI models to detect suspicious behaviors in real time.
• Operational Transparency: Builds trust with issuers, holders, and validators.

3. Key Events to Log

• License issuance, renewal, transfer, and revocation.
• Royalty distributions and fee transactions.
• Validator approvals, rejections, and slashing incidents.
• Dispute initiation, escalation, and resolution outcomes.
• Administrative actions requiring multi-sig approvals.

4. AI Fraud Detection Integration

1. Data Collection: Aggregate on-chain event logs and off-chain metadata.
2. Pattern Analysis: Use machine learning to identify anomalies, such as abnormal transaction volumes or unusual validator activity.
3. Alerting System: Trigger alerts for human review when anomalies are detected.
4. Automated Responses: Optional smart contract hooks to freeze suspicious licenses pending investigation.

5. Technical Implementation

• On-Chain Logging: Use
• Off-Chain Indexing: Store logs in a database for advanced querying and AI model training.
• Immutable Storage: Archive critical logs on IPFS/Arweave for tamper resistance.

Example Solidity Event:

event LicenseAction(
    uint256 indexed licenseId,
    string actionType,
    address indexed actor,
    uint256 timestamp
);

6. Security & Privacy Considerations

• Data Minimization: Only store necessary personal data.
• Encryption: Secure sensitive off-chain logs.
• Access Control: Restrict log access to authorized validators and councils.

7. Interoperability

• TLaaS (LEX): Generates logs from all marketplace and license operations.
• TLAAS (DLA): Validates compliance and authenticates logged events.
• DAL: Reviews logs during dispute and governance processes.

8. Benefits

• Strengthens legal and regulatory positioning.
• Reduces fraud and improves incident response time.
• Provides a comprehensive historical record for audits.
• Enhances confidence among ecosystem participants.
