Backed is a pioneer in tokenized real-world assets. Backed issues freely-transferable bTokens on the blockchain that represent ownership of a structured product. Each structured product is backed 1:1 by the underlying asset, and bTokens are redeemable for their cash value. Tokenized assets are offered to professional clients and licensed resellers.
Chainlink Proof of Reserve is a decentralized reserve verification solution that provides users with on-chain proof regarding the collateralization of off-chain assets. The decentralized service compares an on-chain asset's current supply with the off-chain reserve backing it, which, in this case, is held by a third-party custodian.
Integrating Proof of Reserve for bTokens - which includes an on-chain data feed - enables DeFi protocols to have near real-time insights into the collateralization of bTokens. This helps lower ecosystem risk in case of outlier events and increases confidence in the redeemability of bTokens at any point in time.
Some of the main benefits of using Chainlink PoR include:
"Assets in global capital markets can benefit heavily from tokenization. Crypto markets run 24/7, settlement can take less than five minutes, and asset transfers are seamless. Backed is committed to realizing these benefits securely and transparently, and Chainlink Proof of Reserve is a core tool that will help provide our clients with unmatched transparency", comments Adam Levi, Co-founder of Backed.
