[STELLAR] Document vehicle pool asset issuance and Soroban contract interfaces

[Obiajulu-gif]

Overview

Create a technical design document for how ChainMove should represent vehicle pool ownership, repayments, payouts, treasury actions, and governance using Stellar assets and Soroban contracts.

Problem

Before implementing smart contracts, contributors need a shared architecture document that explains the asset model and contract responsibilities. This prevents disconnected or unsafe implementations.

Expected solution

Add a documentation file such as:

docs/stellar-asset-and-soroban-design.md

The document should cover:

• how vehicle pool ownership could map to Stellar issued assets
• issuer and distribution account responsibilities
• asset code strategy, for example CMOVE or per-pool asset codes
• repayment receipt tracking
• investor payout tracking
• treasury/admin actions
• governance action interface
• Horizon/RPC indexing strategy
• security assumptions and open questions

Contract interface scope

This issue should document interfaces only. It does not need to deploy contracts.

Suggested Soroban interface areas:

• pool creation
• investor ownership record
• repayment recording
• payout distribution rules
• treasury authorization
• governance execution

Security notes

• Do not include private keys.
• Do not commit deployment secrets.
• Clearly separate Testnet design from future Mainnet production design.

Files likely involved

• docs/stellar-asset-and-soroban-design.md
• README roadmap section
• optional architecture diagrams in Markdown

Acceptance criteria

• Design document exists and is clear enough for future implementation issues.
• It explains Stellar asset issuance options.
• It explains Soroban contract responsibilities.
• It lists security risks and open questions.
• It does not include secrets or private keys.

Suggested labels

Hello, I'm a smart contract and full stack developer, open for contributions. contributed to over 20 project on OnlyDust and Drips , with expertise in Solidity, Cairo, JavaScript, TypeScript, and RUST. I am passionate about building secure and scalable blockchain solutions, and I would love the opportunity to contribute my skills toward solving this issue.

I'd like to take this issue.

I've previously designed Stellar/Soroban architectures for asset-backed and investment-style applications, including tokenized ownership models, treasury controls, payout distribution, indexing strategies, and governance workflows before implementation began.

For this task, I'll produce an implementation-ready architecture document that clearly defines:

• Stellar asset issuance and ownership models for vehicle pools.
• Issuer/distribution account responsibilities and trustline considerations.
• Soroban contract boundaries for pools, repayments, payouts, treasury actions, and governance.
• Horizon/RPC indexing and event-tracking strategy.
• Security assumptions, threat surfaces, and open design questions.
• A clear separation between testnet architecture and future mainnet deployment considerations.

The goal will be to give contributors and auditors a shared blueprint that can directly inform future smart contract and backend implementation issues without introducing assumptions or security risks.

Hey, I can jump on this.
​I’ll create the technical design document for the asset and Soroban contract architecture under docs/stellar-asset-and-soroban-design.md.
​I'll map out the per-pool asset strategy (CMP001, etc.), define the explicit responsibilities for the issuer/distribution accounts, and design the Soroban contract interfaces for pool creation, claim-based investor payouts, and governance execution. I'll also map out a clean indexing plan using Soroban events and include a solid breakdown of mainnet vs testnet security risks.
​I have a strong understanding of Stellar's asset model and Soroban smart contracts, and I can deliver a clear, actionable architecture document within 24–48 hours.
