How Does CoinDCX Assure Simple Accessibility To Digital Assets?

CoinDCX as a brand has always operated with the aim to simplify accessibility of the digital asset for the masses. Some of the example of the same are:

• Crypto Futures
• Earn
• One tap availability of TDS reports

Now that we have taken a look at the current PoR scenario, below are some of the most commonly asked questions regarding Proof of Reserves. 

What is Proof Of Reserves?

A Proof of Reserve audit is simply the method by which an exchange employs the services of a third party crypto auditor in order to ensure that it has assets on its balance sheet and balances the customer holdings. 

The release of the Proof of Reserve reports started to come in after the FTX fiasco that took place last year, which caused the market crash. It was first proposed by Changpeng Zhao of Binance. 

On Proof of Reserve and Liabilities:

• CoinDCX has an order placement system that ensures that assets bought by the users are 1:1 placed under vaults on/off-chain, especially warm/cold wallets. This ensures that for every order placed by users, CoinDCX actually buys or holds crypto assets.
• In our opinion, the much advocated “Proof Of Reserves” provides a standalone asset value, it only showcases one side of the part. There’s no visibility of liabilities. Proof of reserve without Proof of liabilities is only half the picture.
• So let’s take it one step ahead and ensure this with Reserves to Liabilities (R2L) Ratio: Total assets owned (on/off-chain) / Total liability & contingencies.
