How it works
A Proof of Reserve system draws on independent data about the assets held by a custodian and publishes cryptographic attestations on-chain. Smart contracts can then check that reserves are sufficient before allowing actions such as minting new tokens, so a token cannot be issued without backing.
Why it matters
For institutions, trust depends on verification. Proof of Reserve removes the need to take backing on faith by making it continuously verifiable. It has become a standard expectation for credible tokenized assets and stablecoins.
SUPERBLOCK's approach
SUPERBLOCK integrates Proof of Reserve, using Chainlink Proof of Reserve, so that tokenized assets across the ecosystem can be continuously verified as backed.
