# Canaria — Crypto Compliance Built for Humans and Their AI Agents

> Crypto compliance built for humans and their AI agents.

From DeFi protocols to regulated exchanges, Canaria pairs deep regulatory expertise with AI that handles the research, the drafting, and the diligence.

## Our Thesis

Compliance expertise shouldn't live in one person's head. DeFi teams move fast and run lean. Most don't have a compliance department — they have one person, maybe two, and everyone else is building. We built CryptoComply to put compliance expertise directly into the hands of the people doing the work — so your protocol ops team can screen a wallet, your BD lead can onboard a counterparty, and that one compliance person can stop being a bottleneck.

## CryptoComply Platform

## Advisory — The Human Side

We build the program, not just the policy. Compliance programs that pass regulatory scrutiny and actually work day-to-day, whether you're a DeFi protocol figuring out obligations for the first time or a licensed exchange expanding into new jurisdictions.

Services:
- AML/CFT program design for DeFi and CeFi
- Licensing and registration support
- Regulatory gap assessments
- Independent reviews and audits
- Transaction monitoring optimization

## Staffing — The Human Side

Compliance people who understand crypto. Hiring compliance talent for crypto is hard because most recruiters don't understand the domain. We do. We've built the programs these people will run, so we know who's good and who's just got the right resume.

Roles we place:
- BSA/AML officers and analysts
- Compliance leadership (CCO, MLRO)
- Sanctions and screening specialists
- Embedded contractors and interim staff
