Binance and Crypto.com Reveal POR Audits
Two very large crypto exchanges provided proof-of-reserves (POR) documentation this week following the promises made by exchange executives after the FTX fiasco. The world’s largest crypto exchange, in terms of trade volume, Binance, og Messari a comprehensive look at assets like BTC, BTCB, and BBTC hosted on Mazars Group’s website that shows assets held on Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and Binance Smart Chain networks.
The audit by Mazars took place on Nov. 22, 2022, at Bitcoin block height 764,327, and the report claims assets are backed 101% by collateralized reserves. “At the time of assessment, Mazars observed Binance controlled in-scope assets in excess of 100% of their total platform liabilities,” the Mazars report asserts. “The collateralization ratio takes into account in-scope-assets lent through the margin and loans service offering which are collateralized by out-of-scope assets. The Merkle Root was compiled by hashing all client accounts into a single output,” the Mazars audit adds.
Mazars’ audit on Binance further notes that “total liabilities” was accounted for in the attestation. At the end of Nov. 2022, after Binance provided POR addresses, Kraken’s Jesse Powell kritiseret the proof and said that the “statement of assets is pointless without liabilities.” Powell has shared his two cents about the latest audit from Binance as well and lambasted the Binance POR again on Dec. 8.
