Executive Summary

The Influencer Integrity & Credibility Ledger (I-CIL) is a decentralized, neutral infrastructure designed to verify professional conduct in the influencer industry. It separates governance from operations, ensures immutable record-keeping via blockchain anchoring, and uses deterministic methodology for scoring.

Governance Framework

Principles, roles, decision boundaries, and oversight mechanisms.

Evidence Specification

Evidence Envelope structure, hashing, and verification standards.

Scoring Methodology

Deterministic scoring rules and immutable anchoring.

Technical Architecture

Core Design Principles

  1. Deterministic scoring (code, not AI)
  2. Append-only mindset (no silent mutation)
  3. Separation of concerns (platform ≠ scoring ≠ governance)
  4. Off-chain first, on-chain last
  5. Auditability > convenience

System Components

  • Off-Chain Processing: Node.js + TypeScript (NestJS)
  • Database: PostgreSQL (Auditable, relational)
  • Blockchain: Polygon (Public anchoring)
