Re-runnable proof of reserves is the property that removes that single point of failure. What is re-runnable proof of reserves? What did the msUSD depeg reveal about reserve verification? Why isn't a "verified" badge the same as a verifiable proof? How does re-runnable verification change the failure mode? Where does zkDatabase fit? FAQ What is re-runnable proof of reserves? What happened with the msUSD depeg in 2026? Does independent re-verification prevent stablecoin depegs? Does zkDatabase guarantee a token's reserves are real? A stablecoin holder wants to check the backing is still there. If the only party who can re-run that check is the vendor that produced it, the holder is not verifying anything, they are trusting a green badge, and the msUSD depeg is what that trust looks like when the vendor walks away. TL;DR: Re-runnable proof of reserves means the proof of a token's backing can be independently re-verified by any party, rather than only by the vendor that generated it. In June 2026 msUSD lost its peg after its reserve-verification provider ended the relationship, leaving holders with no way to check the backing themselves. A proof whose bytes, verification key, and verifier are public removes that single point of failure. Introduction: Re-runnable proof of reserves is a reserve proof that any party can independently re-verify, rather than one that only its issuer or a single vendor can validate. The distinction moved from academic to concrete in June 2026, when the msUSD stablecoin depegged after its verification provider exited, and holders discovered the "proof" behind the token was not something they could check on their own. This article explains what re-runnable verification means, what the msUSD episode exposed, and where zkDatabase fits as a supplementary layer that keeps the check open. Key Takeaways: Re-runnable proof of reserves is a reserve proof any counterparty can independently verify, using published proof data and an open verifier, without trusting the party that generated it. The June 2026 msUSD depeg followed the exit of the token's reserve-verification provider; with the check tied to one vendor, holders had no independent way to confirm backing. A proof is only independently verifiable if the proof bytes, verification key, public inputs, and a matching verifier are all public, otherwise "verified" collapses back to trusting a dashboard. zkDatabase generates a reserve proof over committed data that anyone can re-run, as a supplementary layer alongside attestation, not a guarantee that the underlying assets are real.
