## Architecture overview

Dominium is the infrastructure layer for programmable IP licensing. The platform consists of several integrated components that work together to enable automated, privacy-preserving intellectual property transactions.

## Core Components

### The Marketplace

The primary interface for IP discovery and licensing. Browse registered IP assets, filter by category, view licensing terms, and complete transactions—all on-chain.

**Features**:

* Advanced search and filtering
* Detailed IP asset profiles
* One-click licensing
* Portfolio management
* Revenue analytics

### License Factory

The smart contract that mints and manages IP Assets and their licenses. Every registered IP asset becomes a programmable, tradeable, and enforceable on-chain entity.

**Capabilities**:

* Mint IP NFTs with embedded licensing terms
* Generate license NFTs for licensees
* Automatic expiration enforcement
* Revocation for term violations

### Staking System

Economic security layer that aligns incentives across the ecosystem. Staking grants marketplace access, determines privileges, and can be slashed for violations.

**Tiers**:

| Tier         | Stake Required | Benefits                                  |
| ------------ | -------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Explorer     | 100 tokens     | Basic marketplace access                  |
| Professional | 1,000 tokens   | Priority search, bulk licensing           |
| Enterprise   | 10,000 tokens  | Premium support, API access, custom terms |
| Validator    | 100,000 tokens | Network validation, governance rights     |

### TEE Infrastructure

Powered by Phala Network, the TEE layer enables private computation on licensed IP. AI models can train on your data without ever exposing the underlying assets.

**How It Works**:

1. IP assets are encrypted and stored
2. Computation requests are routed to TEE enclaves
3. Data is decrypted only inside the secure environment
4. Results are returned; raw data never leaves

## Network Architecture

### Consensus

Dominium uses CometBFT (Tendermint) consensus for fast finality:

* Block time: \~6 seconds
* Finality: Instant (no confirmation waiting)
* Throughput: 10,000+ TPS

### Interoperability

Built on Cosmos SDK with IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication):

* Bridge assets from Ethereum, BSC, other chains
* Cross-chain license verification
* Multi-chain royalty collection

### EVM Compatibility

Full EVM support via Ethermint:

* Deploy existing Solidity contracts
* Use familiar tooling (Hardhat, Foundry)
* MetaMask and wallet compatibility

## Security Model

### Multi-Layer Security

```
Layer 1: Cryptographic
├── Encrypted storage (AES-256)
├── TEE attestation
└── Merkle proof verification

Layer 2: Economic
├── Staking requirements
├── Slashing conditions
└── Insurance fund

Layer 3: Governance
├── Multi-sig admin
├── Timelocked upgrades
└── Community oversight
```

### Threat Mitigation

| Threat                     | Mitigation                              |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Fraudulent IP registration | Multi-sig validation, stake slashing    |
| Data leakage               | TEE isolation, encrypted storage        |
| Smart contract exploit     | Audits, bug bounty, upgradeable proxies |
| Validator collusion        | Distributed validator set, slashing     |
