Last week I worked with a fintech startup that’s applyng for a license in Lahore , and they’re running into a tricky issue: auditors require clear KYC evidence for every user, but data retention rules restrict how long personal informatin can be stored.
To me, this is exactly the kind of tension $SIGN is designed to address 👌
Rather than holding onto raw personal data for audit purposes, a KYC attestation—structurd through a defined schema—can capture the fact that verification happened, who performed it, under what standards, and how long it remains valid. With SpIDs, that evidence can be connected into a traceable provenance chain.
If schema hooks are implemented properly, attestatons can also include expiration and revocation logic aligned with retention policies.
That’s what makes Sign interesting to me: it’s not purely a privacy solution or just a compliance tool, but a coordination layer where both can coexist.🚀
