客户现在可以验证 Kraken 的 Bitcoin 储备
The company recently passed an independent audit on its bitcoin holdings and has enabled a ‘Proof of Reserves’ feature to its customers.
Kraken customers can now independently verify that the bitcoin funds they hold on the cryptocurrency exchange are backed by actual assets after the firm launched its Proof of Reserves feature, enabling a new level of transparency and accountability to emerge in the industry.
The feature is the product of an independent, cryptographic audit of Kraken’s funds performed by accounting firm Armanino LLP, which verified the amount of bitcoin the exchange holds on behalf of its clients with the help of Merkle Trees.
“Indeed, in this audit, completed on December 31, our auditor determined Kraken controlled all of the bitcoin…belonging to clients on our exchange, as well as all the bitcoin…held in our industry-leading on-chain and off-chain staking services,” the company said in a Thursday 声明.
Users interested in verifying that Kraken holds the amount of bitcoin that the company claims to hold on their behalf can do so by accessing the independent 储备证明 阿玛尼诺网站。但首先他们应该去Kraken’s 官网 收集必要的信息，即其帐户的唯一标识号，以访问记录。
Kraken 网站称：“储备金证明是一种先进的加密会计程序，由值得信赖的审计师每半年执行一次，可让您验证 Kraken 是否符合严格的问责标准，并超过了传统金融公司提供的透明度。”
Proof of Reserves enables greater transparency by providing customers with the ability to check if the custodian of their bitcoin is truthful. The feature isn’t completely trustless, however, as strictly speaking, the user still needs to trust the third-party company that performed the audit.
但这一举措仍然是积极的，因为它阻止了加密货币交易所开始实行部分准备金，而且这也比传统银行提供的交易更好，传统银行不仅实行部分准备金，而且涉及完全信任。
