Reserve Model and Transparency
Reserve language is only useful when it states what is held, where it is held, how it is checked, and how the public can inspect the result.
Reserve principle
Eligible reserves are held with [Reserve Bank] according to the documented account and segregation structure. The reserve model must define what assets qualify, how reserve balances are measured, and how those balances map to the outstanding liability.
The public solvency statement is most useful in plain terms, such as Tokens Outstanding <= [Eligible Reserve Assets], rather than a general promise of backing.
