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: need Champion — actively being identified
KRO is engaging the Regulatory Compliance SIG and the grants-discuss@lists.sync.global mailing list to identify a champion for this proposal. We welcome an introduction to any Tech & Ops steward working in this domain, and will update the proposal header as soon as one is confirmed.
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.
