Ethena Integrates Edge Proof of Reserves Oracle

Ethena is integrating Edge Proof of Reserves Oracle to strengthen the risk management framework for USDe, a fully-backed onchain synthetic dollar. This integration enhances transparency, security, and independence in USDe’s reserve verification.

Edge Oracles have secured over $200B in volume, delivering real-time, automated risk management to leading DeFi projects like Aave, Jupiter, Tether, and GMX.

With this integration, Edge Oracles will independently verify critical reserve data, including:

• The total USD value of USDe’s reserves
• Reserve coverage of USDe supply
• Confirmation that reserves are governance-approved and delta-neutral

Why Edge PoR Oracle?

Edge Oracles provide an auditable and transparent mechanism to demonstrate that token issuers, like Ethena, hold sufficient reserves to back its circulating supply.

By confirming the existence and adequacy of reserves, issuers directly mitigate the risk of insolvency or mismanagement, safeguarding user funds. This proactive measure strengthens user confidence and promotes broader adoption by guaranteeing the robust backing of USDe.

How It Works

• Reserve Monitoring & Verification: Edge Oracles will track USDe’s reserves levels, ensuring verification of collateral backing. This enables rapid responses to any reserve discrepancies.
• Secure & Scalable Data Integration: Edge ingests off-chain data from custodians and CeFi exchange partners, seamlessly integrating it into the onchain environment to support scalable and institutional-grade deployments.
• Tamper-Resistant Reporting: Automated alerts notify stakeholders of any anomalies or if reserves levels fall below required thresholds. Verified data is publicly reported on Ethena’s transparency page and attestor interfaces.

This integration ensures continuous, independent verification of reserves, fostering greater transparency and security for all users. By leveraging real-time, tamper-resistant data, Ethena reinforces its commitment to a robust and reliable synthetic dollar.
