Asset Segregation
CheckSig Clear ensures full ownership of client assets through a complete separation from company funds, eliminating any risk of commingling. As an independent and neutral operator, it adheres to the highest standards of integrity and transparency, ensuring that asset custody always fully respects the client’s interests.
Operational Protection
Client assets are entirely separated from company funds, providing maximum protection against operational risks and potential financial difficulties of the company. Unlike traditional financial institutions, where client deposits appear as liabilities on the balance sheet, this custody model guarantees that ownership remains exclusively with the client at all times.
Regulatory Safeguards
Asset segregation is not only a standard of operational excellence but also a legal protection embedded within the company’s operational and legal framework. Assets held in custody are formally recognized as distinct from those of the company, ensuring full protection from third-party claims, even in case of creditor actions. This legal separation strengthens asset security by making assets inaccessible during financial distress or disputes, while guaranteeing continuous access and long-term availability.
Protocol-Level Isolation
A sub-account structure ensures that each institution has a dedicated custody environment, separate from those of other institutions and the custodian, guaranteeing clear and fully verifiable operational segregation. Transparency is further reinforced by the Proof-of-Reserves, a cryptographically verifiable procedure certifying both ownership and the actual existence of assets. This eliminates risks associated with opaque practices or fractional reserves.
External Validation
Asset segregation is subject to periodic verification through SOC Type II attestations issued by one of the Big Four firms, confirming its effectiveness and compliance with the highest standards. These independent certifications validate that systems, procedures, and controls ensure secure asset management, accurate reporting, and data protection, preventing errors and manipulations. This external assurance enhances the platform’s credibility by certifying the transparency and reliability of financial management and controls in place to safeguard assets and stakeholders.
