# PROOF FORMAT FOR REAL-WORLD RESERVE ASSETS
|
|
|
|
This is draft status
|
|
|
|
|
|
A collection of proofs represents contracts describing real and virtual assets posted as reserve for a specific token issuance.
|
|
|
|
The underlying resources for the proofs may be documents, recordings, photos, crypto transactions.
|
|
|
|
sha256sum is calculated on files. crypto transaction hashes are used as-is. All data is is left-padded to 512 bit vectors.
|
|
|
|
The hashes are ordered in sequence of their big-endian numerical value and sha256sum is calculated on the sequence. This is the collateral proof.
|

|
|
|
The proof should be signed by the key performing the initial reserve transaction and made available. The following options should be considered:
|
|
|
|
- A secp256k1 ECC signature on the proof
|
|
- A ethereum blockchain transaction to a well-known address, with the proof in the data field
|
|
- An ENS record
|
|
|
|
Additional signatures may optionally be added.
|

|
|
The proof, signature and underlyding digital resources must be disseminated to a selection of storers whose role is to provide data availability on demand.
|
|
|
|
With the eventual maturity of decentralized storage, additional data availability guarantees can come from these.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
metadata structures can be added to provide metadata and context for the digial resources in the proof.
|
|
|
|
This structure can also allow alternate hash representations of the data, aswell as additional signatures.
|
|
|
|
Lastly it can include a list of locations where the resources can be obtained. The resources should be available on querying the proof hash, responding with the resources in a well-known achive format, and optionally providing a human readable index of the files (the client can choose using the 'Accept' HTTP header)

example:
|
|
|
|
A contract for a token reserve consists of a written document A, a video recording B and a crypto transaction C.
|
|
|
|
sha256(A), sha256(B) are calculated. They result in Ah = 0x56.., Bh = 0x12. C = 0x34..
|
|
|
|
sha256 is calculated on the ordered sequence to obtain the proof; sha256(Bh, C, Ah) = Ph
|
|
|
|
Token T is minted by sending reserve from account K. Ph is signed by the same key; secp256k1.ec_sign(K, Ph) = Ks
|
|
|
|
The proof is encapsulated by metadata:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
'version': 0,
|
|
'token': <token address>,
|
|
'proofs': {
|
|
'default': {
|
|
'digest': <Ph>,
|
|
'signatures': [
|
|
<Ks>,
|
|
],
|
|
},
|
|
'foo-algo': [
|
|
'digest': <Ph2>,
|
|
'signatures': [
|
|
...,
|
|
],
|
|
],
|
|
},
|
|
'resources': [
|
|
{
|
|
'type': 'file',
|
|
'proof': {
|
|
'default': {
|
|
'digest': <...>,
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
'metadata': {
|
|
'mime-type': 'application/pdf',
|
|
'filename': 'foo.pdf',
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
'type': 'ethereum-transaction',
|
|
'proof': {
|
|
'default': {
|
|
'digest': <...>,
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
],
|
|
'locations': [
|
|
'ftp://ftp.grassrootseconomics.org/reserve-resources',
|
|
'https://redcross.com/grassrootseconomics/reserve-resources',
|
|
...
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|

|
Another possiblity is to host the proofs on DNS TXT records by well-known actors. This means, for example, if _<Ph>_resource_proofs.grassrootsconomics.org could returns the token address (or the other way around), that means GE considers the proof valid for the token. A list of DNS hosts can be established to decentralize this certification.
