A few days ago, I helped a friend rent a house, and the landlord required an income certificate and a proof of employment. I ran to the company for a stamp, and then I ran to the bank for a transaction record, which took up most of my day.

Later, I thought about it; these documents are essentially just a proof

of who you are, where you work, and how much you earn each month. The issuer is the company and the bank, and the verifier is the landlord. To confirm a simple piece of information among the three parties, a lot of offline processes are needed.

The attestation done by @SignOfficial SIGN is actually solving this issue. The company provides you with an on-chain employment certification, the bank gives you an on-chain income certification, and the landlord can verify it by scanning without needing you to run errands or requiring a physical stamp.

The scenario is real, and the direction is correct. But then I thought, will the landlord use this?

Most landlords are not very willing to use online contracts, and asking them to verify an on-chain attestation, they probably won't even understand it.

This is the biggest problem faced by #Sign地缘政治基建 right now; it's not about whether the technology can do it, but whether the people in the usage scenario are willing to accept a brand new verification method.

Currently, $SIGN is priced around $0.051, and the recent trend is decent, having rebounded quite a bit from the bottom. However, the price reflects market sentiment, and it will take time for attestation to truly enter daily life.

I have a long-term optimistic view on this direction, but there is no rush in the short term.
