Provenance
Provenance Blockchain is a public, proof-of-stake blockchain purpose-built for financial services and the tokenization of real-world assets. Built on the Cosmos SDK with CometBFT consensus, it exposes its functionality through first-party modules including marker (token/marker issuance), metadata (asset registry and the p8e contract execution environment), exchange (on-chain order book), ledger, name, attribute, hold, trigger, and msgfees/flatfees. Applications integrate over the public Cosmos REST (LCD / gRPC-gateway) API at api.provenance.io, gRPC, and Tendermint RPC at rpc.provenance.io, and via first-party SDKs (Go, Kotlin gRPC client, Rust/CosmWasm provwasm bindings, and JavaScript wallet libraries). HASH is the native staking and gas token. The chain, protobuf data model, and SDKs are open source under the provenance-io GitHub organization.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Provenance the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Provenance scores 25.0/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 21/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Provenance
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Provenance. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 1
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

MCP Servers 1
Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

MCP SERVERSecurity Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
