What it Means:
Verified Trades shows what percentage of a firms trader’s orders are confirmed to have been routed through a liquidity provider (LP) that the DRU has direct and independent access to. This allows us to verify that the trade wasn't just logged internally — but actually reached the market through the firm’s execution layer.

​

Why it Matters:
Most firms don’t disclose how many trades are truly passed to the market, or whether the price feed traders see is authentic. There’s no real way for traders to tell if the fills they got reflect true execution conditions.

​

Because DRU can independently compare the live market feed (used by the firm) against the trader’s fill, this stat can also reveal potential trade manipulation, such as slippage abuse or quote mismatches. In that sense, Verified Trades functions like:

​

• A real-time execution audit,

• A soft form of A-book execution transparency,

• And a trader protection layer — all in one.

​

And it’s not just a universal stat for the firm. Each individual trader receives a blockchain URL tied to their funded account, where they can see which of their trades were routed to the market, when, and under what conditions; all hashed and time-stamped on the forex blockchain.

​

How We Calculate It (Simplified):
We only mark a trade as verified if it can be confidently matched with the firms real provided market execution feed and the feed they provide to their traders, which the DRU independently observes both. We never take a firm’s word for it, if we can’t confirm it ourselves, the trade is not verified.

All verified trade activity is recorded on-chain without compromising anyone's privacy.
