# Settlement Layer

The Settlement Layer transforms AI-related data, models, and agents into tokenized assets, ensuring secure, traceable, and programmable ownership.

**Key Functionalities are as follows:**

1. **Immutable AI Asset Registration:** Training datasets, model weights, and execution parameters are permanently anchored on LazChain, ensuring provenance.
2. **Data Anchoring Token (DAT) Management:** Every issuance, transaction, ownership transfer, and access control event related to AI assets is immutably recorded on-chain.
3. **Privacy-Preserving Provenance Tracking:** Utilizes Zero-Knowledge Proofs or TEE Proofs to validate dataset authenticity while protecting sensitive AI data.

By anchoring AI assets on a decentralized ledger, the Settlement Layer guarantees integrity, accessibility, and compliance, paving the way for a trustless AI economy.
