Avalanche Integrates Chaos Labs’ Proof of Reserves

Avalanche has integrated Chaos Labs’ Proof of Reserves (PoR), enabling verification of bridged asset backing across the network. This integration brings enhanced transparency and trust to key assets, including BTC.b and WETH.e, which serve as critical pillars of Avalanche’s cross-chain liquidity infrastructure.

Bridged assets like BTC.b and WETH.e are foundational to Avalanche’s DeFi ecosystem. They enable cross-chain access, unlock collateral utility, and power deeper liquidity across trading, lending, and structured products. But as adoption grows, so does the need for continuous, verifiable collateral transparency, especially during periods of market volatility.

With Chaos Labs’ integration, Avalanche now features a tamper-proof, onchain system for monitoring and verifying the reserves backing its most important bridged assets.

How It Works

Chaos Labs’ PoR architecture continuously tracks reserve data from canonical bridges and custodial sources. These attestations are validated onchain and made publicly accessible, offering:

• Verification that BTC.b and WETH.e supplies are fully backed by the corresponding Bitcoin or ETH held on their native chains (e.g., BTC on the Bitcoin network or ETH on Ethereum)

• Independent attestations written directly to Avalanche smart contracts; and

• A live dashboard with reserve coverage ratios, discrepancy detection, and historical snapshots.

This enables users, developers, and protocols to independently verify collateralization at any time, without relying on a third party.

For users, transparency builds confidence when holding or deploying bridged assets within Avalanche DeFi protocols. For builders, PoR data can be integrated directly into dApps, risk engines, and governance systems, enabling more secure collateral design and smarter protocol safeguards. For institutions, independently verified reserves offer operational assurance and greater confidence in interacting with tokenized and bridged assets on Avalanche.

This integration is part of a broader initiative to enhance Avalanche’s risk infrastructure as the network scales, with resilience and transparency at its core. Looking ahead, Avalanche and Chaos Labs will explore expanded asset coverage, discrepancy alerts, and deeper integrations with DeFi protocols and bridge infrastructure.

As DeFi evolves toward composability and institutional relevance, trust in bridged and synthetic assets becomes essential. With Chaos Labs’ PoR now live, Avalanche provides a more transparent and verifiable foundation for secure cross-chain finance.
