Summary

KRO Brokers — General Members of the Canton Foundation operating our own validator node (KRO-Mainnet-1) — propose deploying a Safe Harbor macroprudential stability layer across the Canton Network. The layer provides a pre-trade circuit breaker that places a 1:1 human-in-the-loop validation gate over autonomous AI agents executing financial transactions, isolating algorithmic anomalies at origination before they reach the settlement layer. It also operationalizes on-chain the open-source Data Governance Exception Policy Standard published to the tech-ops list on 29-Jul-2026.

Notes for Reviewers

SIG label: regulatory-compliance Champion: Amanda Martin (Canton Foundation Sponsor) — Network Sponsor Proposed

Amanda Martin is put forward as our proposed Network Sponsor. We welcome Foundation confirmation, or reassignment to an alternate Tech & Ops champion should the committee prefer a different steward for this domain.

This resubmits the content of #613, which was closed automatically because the Champion and SIG label fields were absent. Both are now present in the proposal header.

Fund development across all three milestones is 100% backed by KRO's perfected senior-secured UCC collateral, with on-chain DAR Package confirmation of collateral readied for transaction exchange.
