What makes warehouse custody the source of truth?

Physical casks live in bonded warehouses. Their systems of record for custody, releases, and declarations are authoritative for what exists on the floor — digital ownership should never drift from that reality.

How often are records reconciled?

Reconciliation cadence depends on warehouse integrations and partner agreements. CannyCask is engineered for frequent checks and on-demand audit exports when you need evidence fast.

Can institutions connect existing KYC?

Yes — we design identity flows to complement your existing onboarding stack while preserving least-privilege access to sensitive artifacts.
