Introducing Proof-of-Reserves

Quanto is committed to maintaining 100% asset reserves across all user deposits and positions. Transparency is foundational to trust, especially in a hybrid trading environment that blends the perform.
What is PoR?
A centralized trading platform such as Quanto, maintains a ledger to track user balances within its internal database. This introduces the challenge of proving that all user assets are securely held and fully accounted for.
Note: Only the Quanto-Perpetuals and USDC-Perpetuals side of Quanto.trade are custodial, the Spot and Launch side are completely decentralized and non-custodial integrations.
To address this, Quanto utilizes a Merkle tree structure, where the hash of each user's asset balance is stored in the leaf nodes. This cryptographic approach enables users to independently verify that their assets are included in the total platform holdings.
Users can validate that the sum of all user balances in the Merkle tree matches or exceeds the platform's reported reserves. If verified to be 100% or more, it confirms that Quanto holds all user assets in full—providing complete transparency and ensuring 100% reserve backing.
