A streetlight for crypto’s road ahead

Blockchain creates an opportunity to make customer assets more verifiable and centralized exchanges more transparent than legacy financial institutions.

Cryptography and automation alone do not guarantee transparency. Verifelse combines rigorous verification, accessible interpretation, and incentive-aware standards to make exchange evidence easier to understand and use.

What we do

Score exchanges

We evaluate centralized exchanges with the VIF Score, a comparable measure of how independently verifiable an exchange is.

Review historical incidents

We are preparing a sourced archive of material exchange events relevant to transparency, verification, and customer access.

How we measure transparency

The VIF Score converts six dimensions of exchange verifiability into a comparable 0–100 score. Proof of Reserves is evidence, but does not by itself establish solvency, governance quality, or future liquidity.

Asset Verification
25%
Liability Verification
25%
Proof Freshness
15%
Public Verifiability
15%
Methodology Transparency
10%
Incident Disclosure
10%

Bars are normalized to the largest component weight (25%); numerical percentages are the methodology weights.
