Description
TL;DR: A privacy-preserving reserve protocol designed to help Monero exchanges prove solvency without publishing their exact addresses.
About This Document
Arijit Dutta and Saravanan Vijayakumaran present MProve, which lets an exchange hide its own addresses inside a larger anonymity set while proving control of reserves. The protocol can be combined with a proof of liabilities to establish solvency and includes a proof intended to prevent collusion between exchanges. The paper develops the construction, its security assumptions, and the tradeoff between customer assurance and address privacy.
Why Bitcoin People May Care
This is Monero research, not a Bitcoin reserve standard. It belongs in cryptocurrency custody history because exchange theft and hidden insolvency affect both ecosystems, while Monero's privacy model makes ordinary public-address proofs harder. The paper gives Bitcoin readers a useful contrast in how different ledgers shape proof-of-reserves design.
