How this service works
Agent-callable Solana token launch, for agents that need to create, launch or rug-check a Solana SPL token or meme coin: plan a token launch free, build a complete unsigned create-token transaction (mint + Metaplex metadata + supply + authority revoke) for the caller's own wallet to sign, and audit any existing mint's authorities. Non-custodial — no private key is ever accepted, held or transmitted. Also multi-chain EVM reads (Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon) and Nigerian phone/NUBAN/identity reference data, none of which return personal data.
Output
Returns a format validation result indicating whether the supplied identity number matches the expected pattern and structure for the specified Nigerian identifier type (NIN, BVN, TIN, CAC_RC, or CAC_BN). Does not perform a live lookup against any government or identity database — only checks structural correctness.
Example use cases
KYC preflight check for onboarding
“Before I submit this user's details to the KYC system, can you check whether the BVN number 22198765432 is in the right format?”
Validate business CAC number in form
“A user entered CAC_RC number RC123456 in our registration form — is that the correct format for a Nigerian company registration number?”
Tax ID format check before payroll
“We have a TIN number 1234567-0001 for a new vendor — can you verify it's properly formatted as a Nigerian Tax Identification Number before we add them to payroll?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.postandshare.net/v1/ng/identity/format?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, privacy-safe check that a Nigerian identity number is structurally well-formed before submitting it to a live KYC or identity verification service. It does not touch any identity database, making it safe for early-stage validation without privacy or compliance risk. Prefer this over full identity lookup endpoints when you only need to catch obvious formatting errors or typos.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid 'type' enum value — returns error if type is not one of NIN, BVN, TIN, CAC_RC, CAC_BN
- Missing 'value' field — returns error if no number string is provided
- Malformed number string — returns format-invalid response rather than an error
- Payment failure via x402 — returns 402 if USDC payment is not attached
- Rate limiting or server errors — may return 429 or 5xx
