ORQO Chooses vlayer for Real-Time Proof of AuM Verification

We are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with ORQO, a unified digital asset management platform, to power live Proof of Reserves / Assets Under Management (AuM) attestations through vlayer’s Web Proofs and Email Proofs technologies.

As the digital asset industry continues to evolve, transparency and trust have become paramount for both institutional and retail stakeholders. ORQO, which recently launched as a unified institutional asset manager with over US$370 million in combined assets under management, will leverage vlayer’s proof infrastructure to deliver continuous, verifiable attestations of its on-chain and off-chain holdings.

The Challenge: Trustworthy, Live Verification of AuM

Traditional Proof of Reserves or auditing methods often suffer from latency, centralization, manual processes, and opaque methodologies – all of which can introduce risks such as stale data, potential misreporting, and limited auditability. For asset managers operating across both on-chain and off-chain instruments, bridging that gap in real time remains a significant challenge.

Today, institutions, protocol treasuries, partners, and regulators increasingly demand verifiable assurance that reported assets align with actual holdings – and that those attestations are tamper-resistant, transparent, and auditable.

How vlayer and ORQO Solve It

Under this collaboration, ORQO integrates vlayer’s Web Proofs (zkTLS) and Email Proofs (ZK Email) into its reporting stack:

• Web Proofs allow ORQO to cryptographically prove values – such as balance snapshots, portfolio allocations, or external API data – derived from ORQO’s infrastructure or trusted third-party data sources (e.g., custodians, exchanges) in a verifiable manner.
  
  
• Email Proofs enable attestation of confirmed, email-based statements or reports (e.g., custodian statements, audit confirmations) without exposing sensitive content.

These proofs are submitted to an on-chain verifier contract, allowing anyone to validate that ORQO’s advertised AuM metrics correspond to verifiable inputs, while preserving data confidentiality where required.

Key benefits include:

• Continuous and real-time attestation – Proofs can be refreshed frequently (e.g., hourly or more) to minimize data staleness.
  
  
• Auditability and transparency without overexposure – Sensitive, raw data remains off-chain, yet proofs can be independently verified.
  
  
• Privacy-preserving architecture – The mechanisms ensure that sensitive, proprietary, or internal data is not unnecessarily disclosed.
  
  
• Trust with cryptographic guarantees – Proofs are resistant to tampering and external manipulation, powered by zero-knowledge and cryptographic protocols.
  
  
• Regulatory and stakeholder assurance – Investors, partners, and regulators gain stronger confidence through verifiable evidence rather than opaque reports.
  
  

A Shared Vision for Transparent Finance

“At vlayer, we believe the future of digital assets demands transparent, auditable, and privacy-preserving data integrity. Our collaboration with ORQO enables live Proof of Reserves in a way that combines institutional rigor with cryptographic security,” said Hubert Rachwalski von Rejchwald, Co-Founder & CEO, vlayer.

“For ORQO, credibility and trust are foundational. By integrating vlayer’s proof infrastructure, we can now offer stakeholders real-time attestations of our holdings – bridging traditional asset management with blockchain-native transparency,” said Nicholas Motz, CEO, ORQO.

Strategic Impact and Next Steps

This collaboration sets a new benchmark for institutional asset management in crypto and Web3 – enabling verifiable claims backed by cryptographic assurance. It builds on vlayer’s mission to connect Web2 data with smart contracts in a trustless, privacy-preserving manner through its core capabilities, Web Proofs and Email Proofs. The partnership also continues vlayer’s momentum of innovation, following earlier announcements with Noon and Accountable this year.
