CipherOwl

CipherOwl provides AI-powered security and compliance for institutional stablecoins and digital assets. Its Screening, Risk & Reporting (SRR) API turns a blockchain address into a compliance decision: real-time sanctions and risk screening, deterministic 0-100 risk scoring, categorized risk breakdowns, path-level exposure evidence (including cross-chain), and analyst-ready risk assessment, SAR, and risk-flow-graph reports across Bitcoin, EVM, Tron, Solana, XRP and more. The platform also offers an Onchain balance service and a Private Data override service, an OwlTrace research experience, a Strix AI investigation agent, and a first-party CLI (cipherowl-sr3) that doubles as a Model Context Protocol server. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 client-credentials.

CipherOwl publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Onchain Service API, Private Data API, and SRR API. Tagged areas include Blockchain, Compliance, Cryptocurrency, Security, and Risk Management.

The CipherOwl catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

CipherOwl’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 27 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
RegTech, AML/KYC and Money Transmission	builds-on	17.2 (thin)	-	-
Stablecoins and Tokenization (stablecoin issuers, tokenized assets)	builds-on	17.2 (thin)	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
