In the past, trust relied on the integrity of a party, but in the decentralized, multi-chain environment of Web3, information can be freely published and changed, making traditional trust models inadequate. The Sign Protocol creates verifiable, traceable, and standardized data statements through cryptographic proofs and on-chain records, surpassing identity verification and extending to governance, rewards, and reputation systems, promoting a trustworthy on-chain ecosystem.
The operation of the Sign Protocol is divided into three layers: data writing, reading, and querying. Data writing includes schema definition and attestation, supporting on-chain, completely off-chain, or hybrid storage methods, with all data securely recorded by smart contracts. Developers and users can efficiently read directly or through a dedicated API without having to deal with the complexity of cross-chain synchronization. Furthermore, the system provides intuitive no-code tools that allow everyone to create validation statements, facilitating the widespread building of trust.
The entire protocol is built on a multi-layer framework that encompasses claim management, decentralized storage, application services, and ultimate trust verification. Users can verify information independently without the need for third-party trust, fundamentally overturning the traditional model that relies on institutional endorsements. This architecture greatly enhances the security and transparency of the system and is the cornerstone of the Web3 trust system.
To enhance the efficiency of on-chain attestations, the Sign Protocol proposes the concept of Effective Attestations (e/att), emphasizing that the data must be verifiable and practical, and structured for insightful analysis. At the same time, the system is highly compatible with multi-chain ecosystems, ensuring that data can be freely transmitted and reused across environments, making trust a real and universal infrastructure.
The protocol supports multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Solana, and Starknet, and utilizes IPFS and Arweave for decentralized data storage. This integration not only enhances data security and scalability but also allows various formats of data such as documents, images, and transaction records to be incorporated into a trust system, facilitating true cross-chain data circulation.
The application scenarios of Sign Protocol are diverse, covering DAO governance voting, fair user reputation systems, points and rewards proof, as well as digital signatures and cross-chain identity authentication foundations. These cases constitute a complete ecology of on-chain trust economy, driving the Web3 world towards a verifiable, public, and fair trust era.
In the world of Web3, trust no longer relies on centralized authority but is built on transparency, encryption, and consensus. The Sign Protocol (SIGN) is creating an infrastructure that makes trust a verifiable fact, changing not only the way we verify information but also reshaping the entire logic of network trust.
