Ecosystem Diagram
This is the CHLG ecosystem map (domains + layers) used across docs and investor materials. Keep this diagram in sync with the domains you actively use.
Overview
The CHLG ecosystem is designed as a modular protocol stack that transforms verified human effort into on-chain economic value. Rather than operating as a closed application, CHLG functions as a coordination and settlement layer that integrates with existing social platforms, creator workflows, and brand ecosystems.
What the diagram represents
The diagram represents the complete CHLG system architecture, from user participation to token settlement and treasury operations. Each layer is purpose-built, loosely coupled, and independently evolvable.
Ecosystem layers
1) User & Creator layer
Individuals participate by completing challenges or amplifying them through creator-led distribution. The protocol aims to match familiar behaviors (posting, proof videos, streaks) without forcing users to abandon existing platforms.
2) Distribution platforms
Social media, web interfaces, and community channels act as discovery surfaces. They are not part of the protocol—only the distribution layer. This separation helps preserve platform neutrality and reduces dependency on any single network.
3) AI verification layer
Submitted proof is evaluated for authenticity and rule compliance. Verification focuses on detecting reuse, manipulation, and automation so that only real participation moves forward to settlement.
4) CHLG protocol layer
The core engine: challenge parameters, reward logic, verification thresholds, and settlement rules. Actions should be transparent and auditable.
5) Token & treasury layer
Verified challenges trigger rewards distributed from the reward pool according to emission schedules. The treasury supports sustainability via protocol fees, premium challenges, sponsorships, and ecosystem development programs.
6) External partners & brands
Brands can sponsor challenges or integrate with the protocol, funding verified participation instead of paying for impressions.
Value flow
- Human effort is performed in the real world or social context.
- Proof of action is submitted and verified by AI.
- Verified participation triggers protocol settlement.
- Tokens are distributed (and where applicable, burned) according to rules.
- Treasury captures and reallocates value to reinforce sustainability.
Design principles
- Modularity: each layer can evolve independently.
- Neutrality: no reliance on a single platform or intermediary.
- Scalability: automated verification enables global participation.
- Economic discipline: supply, burns, and treasury actions are rule-based.
