Trusset provides infrastructure for issuers to demonstrate that their assets exist and are properly backed.

How It Works

Each tokenized asset includes a Reserve URI — a link to a webpage, API endpoint, or document where the issuer publishes reserve information. Anyone can access this link and review the underlying data. This creates a transparent, auditable record of reserve claims directly tied to on-chain assets.

Community Signals (Optional)

As an additional transparency layer, users can submit votes on Reserve URIs:
  • True: The reserve information appears legitimate and verifiable.
  • False: The link is broken, outdated, or contains unsubstantiated claims.
If an asset accumulates significant negative votes, it can be flagged as higher risk. This provides a lightweight, community-driven signal — not a guarantee of accuracy, but a public record of sentiment.
Voting is designed to catch obvious issues, not replace proper audits or regulatory oversight.

The Honest Reality

No on-chain mechanism — including ours or Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve — can cryptographically prove that physical assets exist. Both systems verify data, not reality. The actual trust model for tokenized real-world assets relies on:
  • Regulated custodians with legal liability
  • Licensed issuers operating under frameworks like MiCA or MiFID
  • Independent audits and ongoing compliance requirements
Our infrastructure provides transparency and auditability. The trust anchor remains the legal and regulatory framework your issuer operates under.

When to Use What

ApproachBest For
Trusset Reserve URIsAny asset, any format, low cost, universal
Chainlink PoRAssets with oracle-compatible custodians and API access
Traditional auditsRegulatory compliance, institutional credibility
These approaches complement each other. Most real-world assets today cannot integrate with oracle-based PoR because banks and custodians don’t expose the required APIs.
