Proof of Reserves
summary
Hoseki, a digital-asset verification platform with seven years in the space, proves only the reserve side (onchain assets) while noting liabilities remain unsolved; that claim drives its product. It provides real-time onchain visibility for exchanges and ETFs (Bitwise listed), a plaid-like widget and API for lenders to verify and monitor individual wallets, and a leaderboard and anomaly detection surface. The company integrates exchange APIs, avoids custody, and reports that this instrumentation enables mortgage and loan underwriting by proving ownership and ongoing balances.
