Gate.io to release 100% PoR audit upgrade plan

Monday 4 September 2023 09:47 CET | News

Cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io has announced the release of a 100% Proof of Reserves (PoR) audit upgrade plan. 

The plan integrates zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proof) technology, aiming to improve the depth and privacy of PoR audits. By integrating a privacy-preserving data verification method, ZK-proof technology has become an important tool in the current digital asset environment. With the introduction of this technology into PoR auditing, Gate.io wants to present users with proof of sufficient asset reserves without revealing detailed personal transaction data. ZK-proof technology may increase the transparency and credibility of the cryptocurrency exchange while promoting better practices within the digital asset trading industry. 

Cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io has announced the release of a 100% Proof of Reserves (PoR) audit upgrade plan.

More information about the upgrade’s prototype

Gate.io’s upgrade plan includes a prototype that incorporates new design ideas. The currencies supported by the reserves audit and other details are displayed in the header section of the PoR page, as well as supplementary data, including customer net balance, account balance, and ratio. 100% PoR enables users to understand each piece and its role, with additional components, such as Merkle trees and zk-SNARKs.

Moreover, the Audits section offers details regarding the PoR audit data verification process without compromising privacy, including report ID and account asset information. Through this, users can understand the verification path of each digital asset, as access to this information provides an overall picture of the PoR auditing process.

Gate.io’s upgraded 100% PoR audit page will allow users to verify PoR audit results independently, displaying the current audit status and the ratio between existing and reported reserves. 

About Gate.io

Gate.io is a full-service digital asset exchange platform, operating in most countries around the world. Some of the company’s products include spot trading, leveraged trading, leveraged ETF, futures trading, copy trading, secured loans, and liquidity mining.

In May 2023, the company launched its virtual asset trading platform, Gate.HK, which provides virtual asset deposits and withdrawals, and spot trading on multiple virtual assets, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC). The platform aims to introduce trading services to all users, including retail users and professional investors. Following this launch, Gate.io plans to integrate additional services into the platform that meet customers’ needs and the regulatory requirements in Hong Kong.

Back in February 2023, Gate.io revealed its plans to apply for a licence in Hong Kong and to introduce a platform designed for the specific market. Hong Kong’s government aims to attract digital asset businesses with the objective of increasing retail investors' access to cryptocurrencies and crypto exchange-traded funds. Considering this, Gate.io is seeking to capitalise on the city’s efforts to establish itself as a digital asset hub by becoming compliant with local regulations.

Gate.io pledged USD 100 million in December 2022, aiming to support the cryptocurrency ecosystem as part of a liquidity support fund. The company tried to decrease the negative impacts of a bear market and ecosystem collapses, which have driven investors to move their funds away from exchanges into self-custody.
