Yield App Passes ‘Proof of Reserves’ Audit for Digital Assets Safety
Yield App, one of the rising and most trusted digital wealth platforms, recently underwent a thorough ‘proof of reserves’ audit. The inspection was conducted by Armanino LLC, the firm responsible for auditing Kraken – one of the world’s largest and most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges.
Yield App passed the audit with flying colors, bolstering its stance on the safety and accountability of the assets deployed by customers into portfolios available on its platform.
What is ‘proof of reserves’?
Proof of reserves is an independent audit of a company’s balance sheet conducted by a third party, Armanino LLP.
These cryptographically reconciled public reports empower customers to verify that the digital asset service providers do indeed hold enough assets on their balance sheets to offset their customers’ liabilities.
The first report was completed on 24 January 2022, using a ‘point in time’ methodology to determine the results, and can be read here.
Yield App plans to continue working with Armanino LLP and other third-party accreditation service providers to release regular independent reports and keep customers informed via its blog posts.
