I didn’t expect to spend much time on SIGN. It seemed like another infrastructure project, something useful but not urgent to understand.
Initially, I thought it was just about verification. It seemed to be another way to confirm identity and make onboarding easier. However, as I explored it more, I realized it’s not really about verification itself; it’s about what happens after verification.
One idea that stood out to me is the shift from sharing data to sharing proof.
Instead of having to upload your documents repeatedly, you would carry something that shows you’ve already been verified. For example, if you complete KYC on one platform, you would not have to restart the process elsewhere. You would just present valid proof that it’s already done.
It sounds simple, but it changes how systems interact. There’s less repetition and less risk of data exposure.
But this is where I hesitate.
Who decides which proofs are trustworthy? If only a few issuers matter, we are still dependent on central points, just in a different way.
So I’m not entirely convinced yet.
However, I can see the potential. It feels like one of those ideas that could quietly become important if it really works in practice.
