Sign Protocol is a full-chain authentication protocol that is committed to allowing users to freely verify and authenticate any information on the chain. In this era of information explosion and scarce trust, Sign Protocol provides a set of tools, infrastructure, and standards that allow us to no longer just "trust" but verify all claims and statements.
It combines modern technical means such as blockchain technology, decentralized storage, zero-knowledge encryption, digital signatures, etc., and supports the construction of various application scenarios ranging from governance systems, points systems, reward distribution to trust networks, recommendation systems, etc.
Sign Protocol adheres to the three principles of simplicity (Keep it simple, signer), adaptability (Improvise. Adapt. Excel) and openness (Open Protocol), and is committed to making the traditional complex authentication process as simple and intuitive as making a phone call, allowing everyone to easily use attestations to build their own on-chain reputation and identity records.
Through Sign Protocol, anyone can prove their historical behavior and reputation, such as on-chain identity, financial records, work experience, etc., so as to better present themselves in the real world and Web3.
In addition, Sign Protocol encourages developers to participate in optimizing the experience and has established the "Best Developer Feedback Award" to reward developers who provide critical feedback and promote common progress in the community.
The total number of tokens is 10 billion, and 1.2 billion have been unlocked. There is also a luxurious investment team, including Hashkey, YZi Labs, Sequoia China, and Draper Associates.
Core Concepts and Technologies
Effective Attestations
Sign Protocol proposes the concept of "effective authentication (e/att)", emphasizing that authentication should have four major attributes:
Verifiability: The data structure is clear and can be automatically verified;
Relevance: Solve real needs and generate real value;
Insight: Provides contextual information for easy interpretation and decision-making;
Universality: cross-platform compatibility, adaptable to a variety of usage scenarios.
Four-layer authentication ecosystem
Sign Protocol builds a layered authentication ecosystem, including:
Trust layer (social/institutional infrastructure)
Application layer (service and application access authentication capabilities)
Infrastructure layer (processing authentication data and supporting applications)
Authentication layer (manages authentication ontology and metadata)
This ecological architecture embeds authentication capabilities into every link from the user interface to the underlying protocol, helping DApps, DAOs, platforms, etc. to build trusted systems.
Strategy and development direction
Web First, Going Global
Sign Protocol uses the Web as a test field, first landing in Web3's contract signing, points system, and recommendation network, and then promoting it to traditional fields to achieve a unified trust standard online and offline.
Open and developer-friendly
As a platform-independent open protocol, Sign Protocol encourages developers to build an ecosystem together. Through open tools, Schema standards, and verification systems, developers can easily integrate authentication capabilities and receive incentives through the "Best Developer Feedback Award."
Sustainability and public welfare orientation
Inspired by Git and Ethereum, Sign Protocol adheres to the concept of "incentive-aligned public welfare agreement" and strives to achieve commercial sustainability on a neutral and fair basis:
Maintain long-term development through subscriptions, products, etc.
Openly and transparently benefit global users and create a "Net Positive Impact";
Emphasize Pragmatic Sustainability - a pragmatic and sustainable ecological construction strategy.
Summarize
Sign Protocol is redefining the meaning of "trust". From traditional reliance to on-chain verification, it not only provides technical tools, but also strives to promote an open, decentralized and efficient trust paradigm.
It is a protocol designed for the future and a foundation of trust that we can participate in, build on, and benefit from today.
