## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability strale-vasp-verify-e1e148dd
```

Example prompt: Can you check if Coinbase is a registered VASP — search by name 'Coinbase' and also try their website domain coinbase.com to confirm their compliance status?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify the VASP regulatory status of a crypto or virtual asset business during KYC/AML onboarding, counterparty due diligence, or compliance workflows. Prefer this over general company lookup endpoints when the specific question is about virtual asset regulation. The cryptographic audit trail makes it suitable for compliance documentation where verifiability matters.

## Known failure modes

- Entity not found in VASP registry — returns no match or empty result
- Invalid LEI format — returns validation error
- Ambiguous entity name with multiple matches — may return multiple candidates or require disambiguation
- Network or upstream registry timeout — returns error response
- Entity exists but is not registered as a VASP — returns unregistered status

## How this service works

Check if a crypto-asset service provider (CASP/VASP) is authorized under the EU MiCA regulation. Searches ESMA's official register of authorized CASPs. Returns authorization status, licensed services, home country, and passporting rights.

## Output

Returns VASP registration details for the queried entity, including registration status, country of registration, licensing authority, and a cryptographically hashed audit record confirming the result's integrity and provenance.
