To prevent the issuance of more coins than there are reserves—a scenario known as infinite mint attacks—Wenia has also arranged for third-party audits by the firm Harris and Trotter.

Pablo Arboleda, CEO of Wenia, stated: 
<blockquote>
 “Integrating Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve is a critical step for advancing the digital asset landscape in Colombia. It strengthens the trust in our financial systems by ensuring each digital token is backed by real currency.”
</blockquote> 
As <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/usiacuri-pioneers-cryptocurrency-integration-in-colombia-with-the-crypto-district-initiative/">we detail</a> in Crypto News Flash, in 2023, the crypto market in Colombia grew significantly, with stablecoins accounting for 31% of all cryptocurrency transactions. With monthly crypto transactions estimated at around 200 million USD, Colombia is a big rank in cryptocurrency adoption in Latin America, <a href="https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/latin-america-cryptocurrency-adoption/">according to Chainalysis</a>. 
Angela Walker, Global Head of Banking and Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, said: 
<blockquote>
 “Our technology aims to enhance the safety and reliability of digital currency transactions by providing end-to-end transparency for Wenia’s stablecoin reserves.”
</blockquote> 
The collaboration is also set to expand, potentially including Chainlink Price Feeds for accurate market data and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (<a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/chainlink-powers-zoniqxs-integration-of-ccip-and-proof-of-reserve-on-ethereum/">CCIP</a>) for secure blockchain interactions. This partnership not only enhances the <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/chainlink-ccip-to-boost-astar-networks-cross-chain-capabilities/">operational integrity</a> of Wenia’s digital assets but also supports the broader adoption and utility of cryptocurrencies in the region.
