Citat:
Crypto.com (Cronos CRO) har nu lämnat en fullständig Proof-Of-Reserves rapport som visar att kundernas behållning är fullt backade. Inga oklarheter alltså.

Bra intiativ, men den förefaller helt beroende av att revisionsbyrån är seriös och vet vad den gör.
Det är anmärkningsvärt att crypto.com väljer att inte använda den kryptografiska teknik som finns, åtminstone för bitcoininnehavet, att bortom allt rimligt tvivel visa att man är fullt backad.
Kraken är ett föredöme därvidlag:
https://www.kraken.com/proof-of-reserves
A Proof of Reserves (PoR) is an independent audit conducted by a third party which seeks to ensure that a custodian holds the assets it claims to on behalf of its clients. This auditor takes an anonymized snapshot of all balances held and aggregates them into a Merkle tree — a privacy-friendly data structure that encapsulates all client balances.
From there, the auditor obtains a Merkle root: a cryptographic fingerprint that uniquely identifies the combination of these balances at the time when the snapshot was created.
Merkle Root Hash
The auditor then collects digital signatures produced by Kraken, which prove ownership over the on-chain addresses with publicly verifiable balances. Lastly, the auditor compares and verifies that these balances exceed or match the client balances represented in the Merkle tree, and therefore that the client assets are held on a full-reserve basis.
Any client can independently verify that their balance was included in the Proof of Reserves audit by comparing select pieces of data with the Merkle root. Any changes made to the rest of the data, however small, will affect the root – making tampering obvious.

Men det är ändå ett stort steg i rätt riktning från Crypto.com. Det anses nu självklart att en börs måste vara fullt backad. Så tror jag inte var fallet för bara ett par månader sedan, då vissa börser nog trodde att de var en bank, med rätt att bara ha en mindre mängd reserver för att möta efterfrågan på uttag under normala omständigheter.
