In the Web3 world, on-chain credentials are the core carriers of digital identity and asset ownership. Sign Protocol enables ordinary users to easily generate legally valid on-chain credentials through its user-friendly toolchain. Below is a complete step-by-step guide to creating your first credential from scratch, reducing the technical threshold with visual operations.

Step One: Registration and Identity Binding

  1. Download Orange Dynasty App: Install the official mobile application of the Sign ecosystem from the app store, supporting both iOS and Android systems.

  2. Create On-chain Identity: Click on the 'SignPass' module, upload government ID (such as passport or ID card), and the system will automatically verify authenticity through zero-knowledge proof (zkAttestation) to generate an encrypted on-chain identity identifier (DID).

Step Two: Choose Credential Template

Sign Protocol offers various preset templates:

  • Basic Credentials: Such as educational certificates, professional qualifications (PDF or scanned copies need to be uploaded);

  • Behavioral Credentials: Such as social media activity levels, DAO participation records (automatically fetching on-chain data);

  • Custom Credentials: Define fields (such as 'Music Album Collection Proof') through the Schema generator.

    New users are advised to start with the 'Educational Certificate' template, requiring only the institution name and graduation date to be filled in.

Step Three: Generate and Upload

  1. Data Submission: Upload educational documents (such as graduation certificates), and the system will automatically extract key information and generate a hash value;

  2. Signature Confirmation: Use a wallet (like MetaMask) to sign the transaction and pay a small Gas fee (about $0.5);

  3. On-chain Proof: Credential data will be stored on the Arweave permanent network and a proof record will be generated on the Ethereum mainnet.

Step Four: Verification and Usage

  1. View Credentials: Check in 'My Credentials' in Orange Dynasty, or query by entering the credential ID through SignScan;

  2. Share Verification: Generate a unique verification link that third parties can use to verify authenticity without exposing original data.

Key Designs for Lowering Barriers

  • No-code Operation: Complete the entire process through a GUI interface, just by clicking buttons;

  • Multi-chain Compatibility: Credentials can be used across networks like Ethereum, BNB Chain, etc.;

  • Cost Optimization: Use batch on-chain technology to reduce Gas costs to below $0.1.

Summary: Sign Protocol compresses the complexity of generating on-chain credentials into three steps: 'Upload-Sign-Verify' through modular design and automated processes. As the ecosystem expands, these credentials will become a universal pass for job applications, social interactions, airdrops, and more, with only 10 minutes to get started.@Sign Official #Sign大展橙图 $SIGN
