Binance aims to improve the proof-of-reserve system with ZK-Snarks
Binance previously announced that it has introduced ZK-Snarks to its proof-of-reserve system in order to facilitate users and other companies to check its solvency.
In addition, the stock exchange has added four new crypto-assets to its POR system.
- Since the loud collapse of FTX at the end of 2022, cryptocurrency exchanges have hurried to prove the assets held on their platforms. Binance was one of the first to introduce such a function and initially only used Merkle Tree.
- The company, however, said in its latest blog post that this version had some problems that mainly focused on the privacy of users.
- For this reason, Binance has decided to update its POR system with an idea that was previously mentioned by Vitalik Buterin von Ethereum-ZK-Snarks.
- zero-knowledge succcinc non-interactive argument of knowledge (or ZK-SNARKS) is a cryptographic tool that enables the entity of the existence of its reserves to do so without actually disclosing what these reserves are.
- Binance added that it made its POR system source open to increase the transparency of its reserves.
