Reserve attestation is the process of independently verifying that an issuer of a digital asset, typically a stablecoin, holds the stated amount of underlying reserves. This involves regular audits or proofs to confirm the one-to-one backing of the digital asset. It aims to provide transparency and build trust in the stability of the issued currency.

Regulators are increasingly calling for more frequent and comprehensive attestations from stablecoin issuers.
