I used to think verification was just paperwork. Oh yeah, upload your ID, wait for approval, and you’re “trusted.” I believed that was progress. But after watching the same KYC loop repeat everywhere, I realized the real issue isn’t building identity systems it’s what happens after they’re created. Most of them freeze value. Your data gets stored, duplicated, and exposed, like giving every cashier a copy of your house keys.
$SIGN changed how I look at it. Instead of sharing the whole file, you prove a single fact. Okay, like showing a receipt instead of opening your bank account. Structurally, that proof can be referenced again, reused across platforms, and that reuse is what can create real network effects.
From a market view, it feels positioned but not fully mature. The question is adoption: consistent daily usage or event spikes? If institutions integrate it repeatedly, confidence grows. If it’s incentive-driven, I stay cautious. Real infrastructure doesn’t need constant attention it keeps moving.
