Regulator API

Substrate. Aurora-Lattice (32-axis sovereign) + Aleo ZK proofs. Footprint. All 11 Gateway Nanopayment chains.

A read-only API for regulators with warrant-gated access controls. Every query returns Aurora-Lattice-signed evidence — receipts, agent identities, settlement traces — bounded by Aleo zero-knowledge proofs so a regulator sees what they're authorized to see and nothing more. Built for the post-FATF, post-EU-AI-Act world where every agent transaction needs a defensible audit trail.

How it plugs in.

regulator_query.py
# GET /circle/regulator/query (warrant-attested)
query = regulator.warrant(
    case_id="FinCEN-2026-04812",
    scope="agent:0xsuspect... · 30d",
    aleo_proof=warrant_proof,                # ZK-bounded
)

resp = hive.regulator_api(query)
# Returns Aurora-Lattice-signed receipt set, jurisdiction-bounded
assert resp.substrate == "aurora-lattice-v1"
assert resp.axes == 32
assert resp.aleo_verified == True

What Circle gets.

  • Government-tier story: "Circle is the regulator-ready stablecoin agent platform."
  • Aleo ZK proofs guarantee a regulator can't fish — they see only what the warrant authorizes.
  • Aurora-Lattice signing makes every disclosed receipt independently verifiable.
  • Differentiator vs. every other agent-payment path: regulator access is a feature, not a bolt-on.
FastAPI surface + Aleo ZK stub already in the public hive-circle-regulator package. Delivery: ~60 days; joint pursuit on government contracts.
Ready when Circle is.
