AeroMaint

Serialized Component Maintenance-Release Attestation Ledger

Executive Summary

MEMORANDUM TO: Investment Committee FROM: AeroMaint Founding Team DATE: April 1, 2026 RE: Pre-Seed Funding Request – $500K Executive Summary AeroMaint is a blockchain-powered compliance and maintenance attestation platform for aviation components. We target the $5B component tracking and certification segment within the $90B aviation MRO market.

Token Data Schema

What this token holds — every field is specific to AeroMaint:

{
  "immutable": {"asset_id": "uuid", "aircraft_serial": "string", "component_id": "string", "manufacture_date": "timestamp", "oem": "string"},
  "mutable": {"state": "New|In_Service|Scheduled_Maintenance|Retired", "hours_since_overhaul": "int", "next_check": "timestamp", "technician": "string"},
  "compliance": {"faa_reqs": ["string"], "cert_level": "string", "inspection_freq": "int"}
}

User Journey

Step 1: OEM

Manufactures and ships component

Token: asset_token created, state = New

Step 2: Airline

Installs component and puts in service

Token: state → In_Service, hours = 0

Step 3: Scheduler

Tracks flight hours, schedules maintenance

Token: next_check_due updated, alert generated

Step 4: Technician

Performs FAA-certified overhaul

Token: state → Maintenance_Complete, hours reset

Step 5: FAA Auditor

Verifies maintenance record and certifies

Token: cert_level updated, audit sealed

Token Lifecycle

State machine transitions:

In Service→Scheduled Maintenance→Under Maintenance→Released to Service

Why Not Just a Database?

ApproachPortabilityMutable StateCross-OrgCompliance
Traditional DB Locked to vendor Any field mutable Manual reconciliation Single audit trail
Public Blockchain Portable but slow Immutable-only Transparent but expensive Full transparency
SaaS Platform Vendor lock-in Centralized control Complex APIs Vendor-dependent
DUAL Token Portable across systems Selective mutability Native settlement Embedded rules

Risk Factors

Regulatory Risk

Tokenization may require securities licenses

Mitigation: Engage legal counsel early, target compliant verticals

Adoption Risk

Enterprises slow to adopt new standards

Mitigation: Focus on high-ROI problems, build proof-of-concept

Competitive Risk

Incumbents may adopt tokenization

Mitigation: Build network effects, maintain innovation velocity

Technical Risk

State consistency in distributed systems

Mitigation: ACID compliance, comprehensive testing, gradual rollout

## Design the AeroMaint Token Architecture

Your goal: Create a complete DUAL token schema that enables Serialized Component Maintenance-Release Attestation Ledger on the DUAL platform.

**Start with:**
1. Immutable fields (identity, timestamps, core properties)
2. Mutable fields (status, ownership, metrics)
3. Compliance rules (state transition constraints)
4. Token lifecycle (5-6 state machine)
5. User journey with named actors
6. Competitive comparison

**Key constraints:**
- Every field must have clear owner and mutability rule
- Every state transition must be audit-logged
- Design for 10x scale, not just 2x
- Focus on cross-org composability

**Deliverables:**
- Token schema JSON (15+ fields)
- State diagram (5-6 states)
- 5-6 user journey steps
- Compliance rule set
- Integration playbook
