No More Security Concerns — OKX Launches Proof of Reserves!

On November 23, OKX officially launched the Proof of Reserves (PoR) feature, enabling users to leverage this asset auditing method to ensure fund security.

1. Why Launch the Proof of Reserves (PoR) Feature

Recently, with frequent incidents involving centralized trading platforms and the inherent opacity risks of platform funds, OKX has urgently launched the Proof of Reserves (PoR) feature to address user asset security concerns, enhance transparency around user assets, clarify the platform's asset reserves, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the crypto industry.

Following the launch of OKX's Proof of Reserves (PoR), the platform will transparently display user account assets at the time of audit, along with reserve rates for USDT, BTC, and ETH — completely eliminating the security risks posed by opaque fund conditions.

2. How Proof of Reserves Demonstrates Asset Security

1) Merkle Tree Verification of User Assets

OKX PoR utilizes the Merkle tree verification mechanism, which is open and transparent. Since data is verified level by level through hashing, ensuring immutability, it has been widely adopted in blockchain and other fields and is well-recognized by the crypto market.

User asset information is anonymously snapshoted and stored in leaf nodes. All leaf node data is progressively passed upward to parent nodes, ultimately汇总到根节点, forming a Merkle tree. The Merkle tree root node records the platform's total assets.

Based on this, users receive a hash ID that can be used with open-source verification tools to verify whether their assets are included within the platform's total assets, and to obtain relevant information about the platform's total assets.

2) Reserve Rate Proves Platform Asset Reserves

The assets held in some of the platform's wallets can be verified through OKX's publicly disclosed wallet addresses. By comparing these asset figures against the total user assets recorded in the Merkle tree, the platform's asset reserve rate can be calculated.

Platform Asset Reserve Rate = OKX Public Address Total Assets / Merkle Tree User Total Assets

When the reserve rate is greater than or equal to 100%, it proves that OKX has sufficient asset reserves, and user assets on the platform are sufficiently secure. Currently, OKX has disclosed wallet reserves totaling $6.021 billion USD, with USDT, BTC, and ETH reserve rates all exceeding 100%.

3. Proof of Reserves Launch Timeline

The OKX Proof of Reserves (PoR) feature officially launched on November 23. Users can now view their account assets recorded in the Merkle tree and OKX's reserve rate.

We welcome all users to utilize this feature and oversee the platform's asset reserves, promoting healthy industry development. In the future, OKX will continue providing excellent products and quality services to our users!
