TEOS Services API

Specification repository for service-level APIs supporting the TEOS sovereign ecosystem.
Maintained by Elmahrosa International

---

Purpose

TEOS Services API defines standardized service interfaces used across TEOS infrastructure layers.
This repository contains API specifications only. It does NOT host live endpoints or production services.

---

Scope

• Internal ecosystem integration
• Regulated pilots and sandboxes
• Institutional and academic evaluation
• Architecture standardization

Not intended for public or commercial API access.

---

Design principles

• Specification-first: Interfaces in machine-readable formats (OpenAPI/Swagger)
• Read-only by default: Mutations require explicit authorization
• No custody, no settlement: Services do not handle funds or private keys
• Compliance-aware: Endpoints include regulatory context
• Chain-agnostic: Works across multiple L1/L2 networks
