Dream of Transparent and Secure CEX
summary
Claims that centralized exchanges lack global financial audits and routinely touch user deposits, with only 20–40 exchanges actually holding the liquidity they display. Proof systems like proof-of-reserve prove partial solvency but miss liabilities and user holdings; circulation supply often relies on self-reported spreadsheets (ATOM shows discrepancies). Operational failures and weak IT controls enable embezzlement; chain analysis shows about 28% of stolen funds go fully dark. Proposes on‑chain verification, live monitoring, robust IT audits and mandatory investor disclosure.
