Sign isn’t just trying to fix identity or credentials. It’s bundling that with token distribution through something called TokenTable. Which, depending on your perspective, is either clever integration or a red flag. Because now you’re not just verifying truth, you’re tying that truth directly to money flows, allocations, incentives. That’s a much heavier lift. And it raises a quiet question... is this infrastructure first, or token economy first?
I’ve seen this pattern before. Build something that sounds like neutral infrastructure, then quietly anchor it to a token model that benefits from adoption. It’s not necessarily wrong, but it does blur motivations.
Still, I’ll give them this, they’re not building in a vacuum. They’re leaning on standards like verifiable credentials and decentralized identifiers. That matters. It suggests they’re at least aware that interoperability isn’t optional if you want to play at this level. You can’t just spin up another closed system and expect the world to plug into it.
But here’s the catch, standards don’t guarantee adoption. Just ask anyone who’s watched technically superior systems lose to more convenient ones. The graveyard is full of elegant solutions nobody used.
