1. Binance’s Proof-of-Reserve Merkle Tree 🔐
Binance periodically publishes audited Proof‑of‑Reserves using Merkle Trees. This lets you:
Verify that your crypto holdings are included using your assigned Merkle leaf.
Follow the path ("tree break") from your leaf to the Merkle root, matching Binance’s published reserves.
This ensures your assets are accounted for in the aggregated sums .
