Blockchain Technology Stack
Ethereum (EVM)
Primary deployment chain. Production smart contracts deployed to Ethereum mainnet for maximum security, liquidity, and institutional familiarity.
Polygon / L2 Networks
Layer 2 scaling for high-frequency operations including secondary market trades, yield distributions, and governance voting to reduce gas overhead.
Chainlink Oracles
Decentralised oracle network providing tamper-proof external data feeds for asset valuations, FX rates, interest benchmarks, and compliance triggers.
IPFS / Arweave
Decentralised storage for legal documentation, asset metadata, audit reports, and regulatory disclosures with content-addressed permanence.
The Graph Protocol
Blockchain data indexing for real-time on-chain analytics, transaction history, portfolio tracking, and governance activity monitoring.
Cross-Chain Bridges
Interoperability infrastructure enabling TLL token and tokenised asset representation across multiple EVM and non-EVM networks.
Smart Contract Architecture
TrustLedgerLabs' smart contract suite is built on production-tested standards with institutional-grade security requirements. All contracts are written in Solidity, reviewed against the Ethereum Smart Contract Best Practices, and subject to mandatory external audit before any mainnet deployment.
Core Contract Suite
// TrustLedgerLabs — Asset Token Contract (Specification)
// ERC-1400: Security Token Standard
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/AccessControl.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/security/ReentrancyGuard.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
contract TLLAssetToken is ERC20, AccessControl, ReentrancyGuard {
bytes32 public constant ISSUER_ROLE = keccak256("ISSUER_ROLE");
bytes32 public constant COMPLIANCE_ROLE = keccak256("COMPLIANCE_ROLE");
bytes32 public constant OPERATOR_ROLE = keccak256("OPERATOR_ROLE");
// Asset metadata stored on IPFS
string public assetMetadataURI;
uint256 public assetValuation; // USD value (18 decimals, oracle-fed)
uint256 public issuanceDate;
uint256 public maturityDate;
// Investor whitelist (KYC-verified addresses only)
mapping(address => bool) private _whitelist;
mapping(address => uint256) public investorTier; // 1=Retail, 2=Accredited, 3=Institutional
// Transfer restrictions
bool public transfersEnabled;
uint256 public minHoldingPeriod; // Seconds — lock-up enforcement
event InvestorWhitelisted(address indexed investor, uint256 tier);

modifier onlyWhitelisted(address account) {
require(_whitelist[account], "TLL: Investor not KYC verified");

}
Audit Standards
Every smart contract deployed to mainnet by TrustLedgerLabs undergoes the following mandatory audit sequence:
- Internal Code Review — peer review by minimum two senior Solidity engineers
- Automated Analysis — Slither static analysis, Mythril symbolic execution, and Echidna fuzzing
- External Audit — Round 1 — full audit by an independent smart contract security firm
- Remediation Period — all critical and high findings resolved and re-reviewed
- External Audit — Round 2 — verification audit confirming remediation effectiveness
- Mainnet Deployment — with audit reports published publicly via IPFS
Oracle Infrastructure
Reliable, manipulation-resistant data feeds are foundational to the security and integrity of the TrustLedgerLabs RWA platform. The platform's oracle strategy uses Chainlink's decentralised oracle network as its primary data infrastructure, supplemented by proprietary AI-powered valuation models for asset classes where standardised oracle feeds do not exist.
Data Feed Categories
| Feed Type | Provider | Update Frequency | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| FX Rates (USD/SGD/EUR) | Chainlink Price Feeds | Every block deviation >0.1% | Cross-currency asset pricing |
| Interest Benchmarks (SOFR, SORA) | Chainlink + TrustLedgerLabs Oracle | Daily | Floating rate yield calculation |
| Real Estate Valuations | TrustLedgerLabs AI Valuation Engine | Weekly / Event-driven | NAV calculation, LTV ratios |
| Credit Risk Scores | TrustLedgerLabs Risk API | Daily | Loan covenant monitoring |
| On-Chain Market Prices | Chainlink CCIP / Uniswap TWAP | Real-time (manipulation-resistant) | Secondary market pricing |
AI/ML Systems
TrustLedgerLabs' AI capabilities — built during the NexusAI phase and further developed for blockchain-specific applications — are integrated as a native intelligence layer within the platform architecture. The ML systems operate continuously, processing on-chain and off-chain data streams to maintain accurate, real-time intelligence on every asset and counterparty on the platform.
AI Valuation Engine
Ensemble ML models (gradient boosting + neural networks) trained on comparable transaction data, macroeconomic indicators, and asset-specific features to produce continuous NAV estimates.
Risk Scoring System
Real-time counterparty and asset risk scores generated by transformer-based risk models, fed directly into smart contract liquidity parameters and margin requirements.
Compliance Monitoring
NLP-powered regulatory monitoring scanning MAS, SEC, and FCA guidance updates, automatically flagging platform parameters that require review following regulatory change.
Yield Optimisation
Reinforcement learning agent managing treasury yield optimisation — allocating idle protocol capital across approved DeFi strategies within risk-adjusted parameters.
Zero-Trust Security Framework
TrustLedgerLabs operates under a zero-trust security model in which every system, user, and transaction is treated as potentially adversarial until cryptographically verified. Security is a foundational design constraint applied from the first line of code — not a feature layered on post-development.
Security Architecture Principles
- Principle of Least Privilege: Every system component and user role receives only the minimum permissions required for its function. No single key or address controls critical protocol functions.
- Multi-Signature Controls: All critical administrative actions (smart contract upgrades, treasury movements, parameter changes) require multi-signature approval from geographically distributed signers.
- Timelock Mechanisms: Protocol governance changes are subject to mandatory timelock periods (minimum 48 hours for standard; 7 days for critical) to allow community review and emergency response if malicious proposals are detected.
- Circuit Breakers: Automated circuit breakers pause platform operations if anomalous transaction patterns are detected — including sudden large withdrawals, abnormal price movements, or oracle data manipulation attempts.
- Penetration Testing: Quarterly penetration tests of the full application stack — including web interface, API layer, and smart contract interactions — conducted by independent security firms.
- Bug Bounty Programme: A structured bug bounty programme with competitive payouts for responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities, running continuously post-launch.
