In 2024, the cryptocurrency space has few players that do not rely on selling tokens, market making, or pulling in venture capital. There are companies making over 10 million dollars in profit.
Speaking of Sign Protocol, it is well-known in the Web3 community. It is actually a cross-chain authentication protocol, which simply means it allows everyone to freely authenticate and verify various information on-chain without having to guess who is reliable and who is not. Originating from the EthSign team, it was initially designed to simplify Web3 document signing, but has now evolved into an omni-chain powerhouse that can span chains like Ethereum, Solana, Aptos, and TON. The core idea? Using blockchain, zero-knowledge proofs, and digital signatures to create a world of "verifiable everything," where anything from identity verification to reputation systems and reward distribution can be managed. @Sign Official
Technologically, it uses schemas as templates to structure data, allowing authentication to be stored entirely on-chain (security first) or partially off-chain using Arweave/IPFS (cost-effective). This design makes it highly flexible, adaptable to various scenarios, and emphasizes user-friendliness—"Keep It Simple, Signer," meaning don’t complicate things; signing is as easy as making a phone call.
Regarding tokens, $SIGN is the main character, with a total supply of 10 billion and an initial circulation of 12%. It can be used to create authentication, access storage, govern, and earn rewards. The distribution is quite community-oriented: 40% to incentivize users, 20% to early investors, and 20% for the foundation. During the TGE in April 2025, 10% will be directly airdropped to active users, and another 30% will be slowly released as future rewards.
The funding is also impressive, with YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs) leading a $16 million investment, followed by big names like Sequoia.
After launching on Binance in April, $SIGN rose by 50%, and community activity exploded. On a national level, countries like the UAE and Thailand are using it for identity verification, with plans to expand to over 20 countries. The ecosystem includes TokenTable to help distribute tokens and the Orange Dynasty App to provide task incentives. There are also developer feedback rewards to encourage everyone to share their opinions.
The roadmap focuses on open adaptation, aiming to make authentication as common as a notary seal. There are challenges with competition, but its cross-chain capabilities and strong privacy features show great potential. Overall, Sign is not just a tool but a foundational trust infrastructure. If you’re involved in Web3, don’t miss out; getting in early might just land you some airdrops. #Sign大展橙图 $SIGN
