📊 Latest Gate Proof of Reserves (PoR) Report
📌 Key Highlights
Gate has published its latest Proof of Reserves report, showing:
• Total reserve coverage: 122% — meaning reserves exceed 100% of customer balances, a strong security signal.
• Major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are fully covered.
• Stablecoins like USDT, USDC, GUSD are also fully backed.
The report uses Merkle Tree–based zero-knowledge proofs, allowing each user to independently verify their balance without exposing others’ data.
Previous report (October 2025) showed 124% total reserve coverage, covering around 500 different tokens.
🧾 What is Proof of Reserves (PoR)?
Proof of Reserves is a transparency mechanism in which:
Exchanges provide on-chain proof of assets held.
Cryptographic structures like Merkle Trees allow each user to verify their balance is included in the reserves.
PoR is typically a snapshot at a specific point in time, confirming that total assets match or exceed user balances.
Important: PoR proves assets exist at a snapshot but does not necessarily provide a full audit of all liabilities over the year.
⚠️ Important Considerations
PoR confirms asset holdings but may not cover all business liabilities.
Early Gate PoR reports focused on limited assets (like BTC and ETH) rather than full total assets.
Users should view PoR as a transparency tool, not a replacement for a full financial audit.
🧠 Summary
Purpose of Proof of Reserves:
To assure users that the exchange holds actual assets equal to or exceeding customer balances.
To make reserves transparent and verifiable.
To strengthen community trust in the exchange.
