Core Concepts
Proof of Reserves
Custom Stablecoins include proof of reserves so partners and end users can verify the asset is backed 1:1 by USDC held with Coinbase.
Coinbase publishes reserve data refreshed nearly every minute, giving a near real-time view of reserves backing the asset.
Anyone can view this reserve data publicly. For a live example, see Coinbase’s cbBTC proof of reserves page.
