Proof-of-Reserves Verification Analyst
Example session with this skill installed
Analyze the latest Proof of Reserves for BitCrest Exchange from Oct 2023. They claim 1:1 backing for BTC and ETH using a Merkle tree, but users are reporting issues with the verification tool.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the proof-of-reserves verification analyst
Analysis of BitCrest Exchange Proof-of-Reserves (PoR) disclosure for October 2023 is complete. The assessment focuses on the reported 1:1 backing claims and the reported failures in the user verification tool.
Proof-of-Reserves Verification Report: BitCrest (Oct 2023)
| Component | Status/Findings | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence Inventory | Snapshot 2023-10-15. Assets: BTC, ETH. Provider: Self-reported management data. | Low |
| Reserve Evidence | 42,000 BTC, 580,000 ETH reported across 12 known wallets. Ownership proof not provided. | Moderate |
| Merkle Methodology | Leaf construction includes hashed UID + Balance. Root published on official blog. | Moderate |
| Liability Coverage | Excludes "Institutional Prime" accounts and margin debt. Scope is partial. | Low |
| User Verification | Reports of "Hash mismatch" in JS verification tool. Reproducibility is currently broken. | Insufficient |
| Custody Concentration | 85% of ETH held in a single multi-sig. High dependency on Lido (stETH). | Low |
Asset Coverage Analysis
BitCrest claims 102% coverage for BTC and 101% for ETH. However, the exclusion of Institutional Prime liabilities suggests the actual liability population is larger than the Merkle tree reflects. Without these accounts, the coverage ratio is a management-prepared figure rather than a total solvency proof.
Confidence Assessment: Low
The rating is Low due to the failure of the independent verification tool and the explicit exclusion of high-value institutional liabilities. Stale data (snapshot is >30 days old) further degrades the reliability of the current reserve status.
Next steps
- Request a technical breakdown of the JS verification tool error from BitCrest engineering.
- Confirm if Institutional Prime liabilities are held in segregated or commingled accounts.
- Obtain on-chain message signing or Satoshi tests to verify control of the 12 listed wallets.

About this skill
Assess crypto exchange proof-of-reserves (PoR) disclosures with professional rigor. This skill provides a systematic framework for researchers and institutional analysts to verify what the evidence actually supports and where the gaps lie.
What it does
- Inventory disclosures by cataloging URLs, snapshot dates, and specific claims from providers or management.
- Audit Merkle methodologies to check account inclusion, hashing logic, and independent user verification workflows.
- Analyze liability coverage by identifying excluded entities, products, or negative balance adjustments in reported figures.
- Evaluate custody risks by reviewing concentration across chains, stablecoin issuers, and third-party custodians.
- Calculate confidence ratings using a rubric that weighs evidence freshness, independence, and reproducibility.
How it works
- Input disclosure data including URLs, snapshot dates, covered assets, and attestation documents.
- Review methodology for reserve evidence, Merkle tree construction, and liability measurement.
- Identify gaps in independent verification, auditor independence, and asset/liability alignment.
- Generate the report covering concentration risks, freshness notes, and unresolved questions.
Frameworks & tools
This skill utilizes standard cryptographic accounting principles, Merkle-tree verification logic, and institutional risk assessment frameworks for digital asset custody.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often confuse proof-of-assets with solvency. This skill enforces a strict analytical boundary, preventing the hallucination of figures and ensuring liabilities are not overlooked when an exchange only discloses on-chain wallets.
Use cases
- Review monthly PoR updates to track changes in asset-to-liability ratios.
- Verify the reproducibility of Merkle proofs for retail user accounts.
- Conduct due diligence on exchange custody concentration and bridge dependencies.
- Identify specific questions for exchange support regarding missing chain data.
Known limitations
Does not perform live on-chain scraping or cryptographic execution. Requires manual input of disclosure URLs or files for analysis. Final outputs are analytical support, not formal audits or investment advice.
Requires user-provided disclosure data. Cannot perform live on-chain execution or cryptographic hashing. Does not provide legal or investment advice.
