6. Verifier Finding Details

This section explains FAIL, WARN, and UNVERIFIABLE outcomes from the verification bundle. Row-level UNVERIFIABLE entries often mean the verifier does not yet support that (coin, network) pair, not that the exchange failed the check. Full machine-readable output: 20261018.verification-bundle.v2.json in the local artifact bundle.

Capability and artifact gaps (UNVERIFIABLE)

Verifier Explanation
internal-consistency No public wallet address CSV; cannot reconcile summary vs address aggregates
btc-anchor Summary does not declare a BTC block height time anchor
onchain-balance-hot No public HotCold wallet address list
onchain-balance-token No public wallet address list for ERC20/BEP20 audit
address-ownership No public download channel for wallet ownership signatures / proofs
global-zk-proof Global zkmerkle_cex tar.gz requires login; not available from public API
third-party-attestation No public third-party attestation report available
cross-chain-wrapped No per-row wrapped-asset metadata in public PoR artifacts (token contract, representation type e.g. WBTC/cbBTC, canonical asset, custody mode)

No additional row-level FAIL or WARN findings beyond the summary table in §5.

7. Minimal Checklist

Requirement Status Notes
Has public PoR been published during the last 12 months? (S0-1) pass Snapshot 20261018 is in the public evaluation set.
Is snapshot time explicit? (S0-2) pass 2026-10-18T00:00:00Z
Is there reserve summary or wallet_address_list? (S0-3) pass Summary present; wallet_address_list absent.
Is wallet_address_list public and on-chain verifiable? (S1-1) fail No public wallet_address_list artifact.
Is wallet_ownership_proof public and batch-verifiable? (S1-2) unverifiable address-ownership verifier UNVERIFIABLE.
Is global_proof public and independently reproducible? (S1-3) unverifiable global-zk-proof verifier UNVERIFIABLE.
Is independent third-party review available with stated scope? (S1-4) unverifiable third-party-attestation verifier UNVERIFIABLE.
If trusted setup is required, is transcript public; otherwise is the proof system transparent setup? (S1-5) unverifiable No public trusted setup transcript observed for zk-SNARK global proof.
Is root/proof/vk canonically anchored outside exchange servers? (S2-1) not_applicable Stage 2 is not evaluated until Stage 1 blockers are resolved.
Is publication frequency sufficient for Stage 2 (weekly full PoR / daily anchor)? (S2-2) not_applicable Stage 2 is not evaluated until Stage 1 blockers are resolved.

8. Recommendations

Priority Recommendation Related Risk
P0 Publish missing public artifacts required for independent reproduction. UNVERIFIABLE
P0 Publish trusted setup transcript or migrate to a transparent-setup proof system. OPAQUE_TRUSTED_SETUP

9. Boundary

This report evaluates public PoR artifacts and reproducibility. It does not evaluate the exchange’s overall financial health, corporate governance, internal controls, off-chain assets, legal compliance, or complete off-balance-sheet liabilities.

Missing data must be marked as UNVERIFIABLE, not treated as PASS.
