Proof of Reserves (PoR) Meaning

While often used interchangeably with the general concept, Proof of Reserves (PoR) as a Technical Protocol refers to the specific Chainlink or Oracle-based service that Automates the verification of Off-chain Assets. For example, a Wrapped Token (like WBTC) or a Stablecoin (like TUSD) uses PoR to Prove that for every Token on the Blockchain, there is a Real Dollar or Bitcoin held in a Bank or Custody Vault.The technical workflow is as follows: An Oracle (like Chainlink) Monitors the Bank Account or Custodian API. If the Balance in the bank Drops below the Number of Tokens on the blockchain, the Oracle sends a Signal to the Smart Contract.

The smart contract can then Pause the Minting of new tokens or even Liquidate the system to Protect the holders. This is Programmatic Transparency that doesn't rely on a Human Auditor.PoR is vital for Real-World Assets (RWAs) on the blockchain.

If a project Tokenizes Gold, the PoR Protocol ensures that the Gold is Still in the Vault. This Bridges the Trust Gap between the Physical and Digital world.

It allows Investors to buy Digital Tokens with the Confidence that they are Backed by Real Value that is being Verified 24/7 by an Independent Network of Oracles.For the Fintech Industry, PoR is the End of the Black Box. In the traditional Banking System, we have No Idea what a bank Does with our money until they Collapse.

In the PoR Era, the Solvency of a Financial Institution is Public Data. This Radical Transparency is the Key to building a More Stable and Honest global financial system where Bank Runs are prevented by Real-Time Proofs.
