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:
20260801.verification-bundle.v2.json in the local artifact
bundle.

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.
