From identity verification to asset rights confirmation: Sign leads the new infrastructure of digital society

Under the accelerated impact of the digital wave, the way global operations are being redefined almost every day. So, how can we establish a globally common standard between the identity systems, asset allocation and regulatory rules that operate independently within each sovereign state to break through the separation of data silos, inconsistent standards, and high compliance costs, which has become a "glass ceiling" for global collaboration? .

To break this ceiling, what we need is a trust base that can be accepted by sovereign countries, multinational companies, and even pure Web3 communities. Sign is doing exactly this:

Sovereign-level identity: Through Sign Protocol, official certificates such as passports and visas are safely moved to the chain, helping the government unleash the potential of digital government affairs within the compliance framework.

TokenTable standard: modularize and template the complex token issuance, unlocking and distribution processes, allowing enterprises and project parties to issue tokens like calling APIs, while ensuring that supervision is traceable.

In short, Sign hopes to move “demand scenarios that need to be easily verifiable on a global scale” to blockchain through unified standards, from identity verification to asset rights confirmation, so that individuals, businesses and governments can enjoy the convenience of global collaboration.

Project Overview: What problems should Sign solve?

Project Overview

SIGN is currently participating in the construction of multiple national-level digital infrastructure, and its products have been actually deployed in the UAE, Thailand and Sierra Leone, and plans to cover more than 20 countries and regions, including emerging digital government practice highlands such as Barbados and Singapore.

In terms of product indicators, the number of Sign Protocol credential templates has achieved orders of magnitude growth. The total amount of distribution of the TokenTable platform has exceeded US$4 billion, covering more than 40 million on-chain wallet addresses, and has more than 200 actual service projects, covering multiple mainstream ecosystems including Starknet, ZetaChain, and Notcoin.

The capital market's recognition of it is gradually being realized. Sequoia Capital participated in the investment across regions, and YZi Labs also led the investment in subsequent rounds. The Sign project has achieved annual revenue of US$15 million, becoming one of the few participants with actual revenue models in the identity and token infrastructure track, showing strong market competitiveness and development potential.

Project Vision

At a time when global collaboration is constantly evolving, Sign proposed the concept of "super sovereign database", trying to create a global verifiable and auditable information structure system through blockchain technology, promote the comprehensive integration of on-chain governance, on-chain economy and on-chain identity, and become the underlying engine of global digital collaboration.

Core positioning

Sign's core architecture focuses on two key modules: identity authentication infrastructure and asset distribution infrastructure. Based on this, Sign is building a standardized, programmable, and cross-chain deployment trust layer protocol. This protocol can meet the basic needs of Web3 and has an identity and distribution system that is highly compatible with the real world, providing reliable guarantees for the realization of trust and value transmission worldwide.

**Technical Deconstruction: Sign 's underlying architecture and product

matrix**

Based on Sign Protocol and its derivative products (TokenTable, SignPass, EthSign), Sign opens up the three major engines of identity, services and assets on the chain, leading the construction of the next generation of digital social infrastructure.

Sign Protocol: A full-chain authentication protocol

Sign Protocol offers excellent high scalability and flexible deployment capabilities. The system supports multi-chain deployment and can be deployed locally according to regulatory compliance needs. At the same time, the off-chain redundant backup of data is achieved with Arweave to ensure data security and durability. The index layer is provided by SignScan to provide unified management capabilities, and supports standardized query and verification of on-chain credentials, greatly improving operational convenience and efficiency.

This protocol supports local contract interaction mechanisms and remote deployment architectures, and can access multiple identity sources in Web2 and Web3. By adopting asymmetric encryption and zero-knowledge proof mechanisms, Sign provides strong identity verification capabilities while ensuring complete protection of user privacy, allowing users to enjoy convenient services without worrying about personal information leakage.

TokenTable: Digital Asset Distribution Engine

TokenTable is currently the most comprehensive digital asset distribution engine in the industry. The Unlocker module provides a fully trusted token unlocking solution, which is suitable for complex unlocking logic such as linear release and event triggering. Merkle distributors are designed to save Gas costs while retaining flexibility in distribution logic. Signature distributors focus on centralized and efficient distribution scenarios, adapting to activity needs that require social interaction and complex behavioral incentives.

SignPass: On-chain identity system

SignPass launches highly configurable on-chain identity systems for governments and organizations, which can strongly support its efficient application in many scenarios such as digital government affairs, resource allocation and user authentication. Through SignPass, user identities can be easily reused between different protocols and platforms, becoming an authoritative credential for participating in on-chain governance and various activities, greatly improving users' convenience of activities and sense of identity in the digital world.

EthSign: The first application for signing on the chain

As an early product of the Sign ecosystem, EthSign has become a representative application of on-chain electronic contracts after continuous development. All contract signing records are permanently stored on the chain, which ensures that the contract content is not tampered with at the legal and technical level and provides a solid and reliable basic guarantee for on-chain business activities. Whether it is cooperation between enterprises or transactions between individuals and institutions, EthSign ensures the signing process is safe, transparent and trustworthy.

Economic Model: SIGN Token Information

As a token based on the ERC-20 standard, SIGN is the core incentive mechanism and functional token of the Sign protocol. The current maximum supply is set to 10 billion pieces, with the initial circulation ratio of 12%, of which the circulating transaction part is about 8.5%. While ensuring the initial market stability, this mechanism also leaves sufficient space for long-term governance incentives and provides a solid foundation for ecological construction.

The role of SIGN tokens runs through all levels of ecological use. At the protocol usage and deployment level, SIGN is used as the computing resource fuel. In the community dimension, tokens have the ability to collateralize and govern, and can participate in product parameter setting and protocol evolution proposals. In addition, SIGN also carries the value consensus function, providing holders with channels to participate in long-term ecological direction decision-making.

Capital and Community: From "Top Investment" to "Cultural Consensus"

Since its inception, the Sign project has successfully received a $32 million financing thanks to its outstanding innovation and great development potential. In the early stage, Sequoia Capital jointly invested across the Americas and Asia, providing strong financial support for the launch and development of the project.

In the subsequent rounds, YZi Labs led the support, further promoting the expansion and upgrading of the project. This capital structure not only covers major global markets, but also fully reflects Sign's globalization potential in industrial awareness, compliance layout and business implementation, laying a solid foundation for its future development.

The Sign Ecosystem has built a global builder community with a sense of cultural identity around Orange Dynasty. In terms of on-chain governance, SignPass, as an on-chain identity carrier, has been introduced into the DAO participation system, allowing community members to participate in proposals and voting decisions with identity credentials, forming an on-chain identity social network with signing, socializing, verification and distribution as the core interactive structure. This mechanism is promoting a new on-chain relationship form of "user-protocol-asset".

Future Outlook: From "Protocol" to "Digital Civilization"

Sign plans to start a series of strategic product iterations in 2025. Sign will promote government-level deployment in more countries, promote the widespread application of blockchain technology in sovereign institutions scenarios, and further enhance its influence in the government affairs field.

In the second half of the year, Sign's plan focuses on the integration of the mobile terminal ecosystem, aiming to open up identity, task and distribution modules, build a convenient user participation and liquidity entrance, and attract more users to join the Sign ecosystem. At the end of the year, Sign Media Network will be officially launched, marking the successful transformation of Sign from a basic protocol to a content distribution network, extending its capabilities in the fields of data sovereignty and on-chain publishing, and providing new platforms and opportunities for the creation and dissemination of digital content.

Medium- and long-term strategy

In the medium term, Sign will launch the Sovereign Layer2 solution as a customized Rollup service form on the government side. Through the deep integration of on-chain identity and token systems, Sign is delineating the prototype concept of “on-chain countries”. At the same time, the "Sign Stack" public facility stack will continue to be launched to provide developers with standardized call interfaces and development environments, and promote the further maturity of the Web3 application ecosystem.

**Building a cornerstone of trust: Sign leads a new era of digital

civilization**

Sign is not just a technical protocol or a single platform, but is building a future-oriented trust and collaboration system. At a critical stage when identity compliance becomes a global consensus, its infrastructure capabilities are becoming a key support for the digital society.

With its cross-chain compatibility architecture, privacy protection technology and real implementation cases, Sign shows how Web3 can get out of the circle and move towards a feasible path to national application scenarios. A more credible, transparent and verifiable digital civilization may be opened from this. And Sign will play an indispensable and important role in this change, leading us to a future full of opportunities and possibilities.
