The problem is that the world needs proof.
Proof that you are you.
Proof that you have a diploma.
Proof that you paid back the loan.
Proof that this post was written by a person, not AI.
The experience of working with legal and technical signatures in EthSign has become the 'fuel' for creating the Sign Protocol.
I am currently talking about the 'veterans of EthSign'; these are people who started addressing the issue of digital trust back when most crypto investors were learning to buy their first dogecoin. They have outgrown the format of a simple document service and aimed to create a universal layer of attestations.
When veterans of such a level are behind a project, it means two things. Technological maturity. They have already experienced the bumps in the security of smart contracts and interactions between different chains (omni-chain). They know how to make your signature from Polygon 'understand' the contract on Arbitrum or Vanar.
Institutional trust. When Sequoia Capital or Binance Labs see the EthSign team, they understand that they are dealing with professionals who understand regulation, compliance, and the real needs of large businesses.
