Proof of Reserve
Definition
It provides transparency and reliability by allowing users to trust the reality and accuracy of the assets held by financial institutions.
Proof of Reserve is a mechanism used to verify the authenticity and accuracy of assets held by financial institutions. This mechanism is created using blockchain technology to prove that an asset (usually a cryptocurrency or digital asset) is actually owned and reserved by an entity. Proof of Reserves shows that an organization has a specific reserve of assets and that this reserve is traceable and verifiable. This increases users trust in the asset reserve of a particular organization in terms of reliability and transparency. Particularly among cryptocurrency exchanges and other financial institutions, the proof-of-reserve mechanism plays an important role in ensuring that users assets are stored and processed securely.
