Proof-of-Reserve (PoR)
Tessera integrates Chainlink Proof of Reserve (PoR) and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to bring unprecedented transparency to tokenized private equity exposure.
Tessera Partnership with Chainlink
By partnering with Chainlink, Tessera delivers:
Proof of Reserve (PoR): Real-time on-chain verification that token supply matches underlying asset holdings
CCIP: Secure infrastructure for multi-chain expansion
This makes Tessera the first tokenized private equity platform with transparent reserve verification and native multi-chain support from launch.
How Proof of Reserve Works
Tessera's PoR system combines traditional financial controls with blockchain transparency:
1. Secure Custody & Independent Audit
Private equity exposure (SpaceX, OpenAI, xAI) is held in segregated portfolios within a Cayman Islands foundation structure. Independent auditors verify the asset holdings, creating the authoritative source of truth.
2. Chainlink Oracle Network
Audited asset counts feed into Chainlink's decentralized oracle network, which validates data across multiple independent nodes before publishing on-chain.
3. On-Chain Publication
Chainlink publishes real-time feeds on Solana showing:
Asset holdings in each segregated portfolio
Circulating supply of corresponding Tessera tokens
Reserve ratio confirmation
Example: Tessera-SpaceX Reserves
Why Asset Count (Not Dollar Value)?
Unlike platforms that report fluctuating dollar values, Tessera displays actual asset counts:
Objective verification
Asset counts are unambiguous and easily verified against portfolio records
No valuation disputes
Eliminates subjective debates while maintaining price discovery on DEXs
Clear 1:1 mapping
Token supply cannot exceed verified asset holdings
Simple audits
Auditors verify holdings, not complex valuation models
CCIP: Multi-Chain Expansion
Chainlink's CCIP enables Tessera to deploy across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, and other networks with:
Unified Infrastructure
Single source of truth for reserve verification across all chains
Secure token transfers between networks
Consistent standards across blockchain environments
Enhanced DeFi Capabilities
Cross-chain arbitrage opportunities
Aggregated liquidity from multiple ecosystems
Universal collateral acceptance across lending protocols
Benefits for the DeFi Ecosystem
For Protocols
Lending platforms: Accept Tessera tokens as collateral with real-time reserve verification
DEXs: New asset class with 24/7 trading and verifiable backing
Developers: Build cross-chain derivatives and structured products
For Users
Trade across DEXs on multiple chains
Access liquidity pools across Solana, Ethereum, Base, and more
Verify reserve backing in real-time on any supported chain
Why This Matters
Traditional private equity markets lack transparency even for accredited investors. Compliance-based platforms like Republic and Securitize still require trust in centralized intermediaries.
Tessera's Chainlink integration changes this: permissionless access with cryptographic proof of reserves.
Anyone can verify that token supply matches actual asset holdings—no KYC, no intermediaries, no trust assumptions.
About the Integration
Chainlink secures tens of billions in DeFi value. Its Proof of Reserve solution is trusted by major RWA projects, while CCIP connects 30+ blockchain networks.
Tessera's integration includes:
Proof of Reserve: Adapted from Chainlink's established PoR feeds for private equity verification
CCIP Exclusivity: Tessera commits to using CCIP for all cross-chain operations
Roadmap
Phase 1 - Solana Launch
PoR feeds go live alongside Tessera mainnet, covering SpaceX, OpenAI, xAI, and future offerings
Phase 2 - Multi-Chain
CCIP powers deployment to Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and other networks with unified PoR verification
