I didn’t really think about tokenization beyond putting assets onchain It sounded straightforward Represent something real with a token and let it move
But the more I looked at it the more it felt incomplete.
Because the hard part isn’t issuing the token. It’s proving what that token actually represents.
That’s where SIGN started to make more sense to me.
It doesn’t treat tokenization as a formatting problem. It treats it as a verification problem. Real-world assets need a way to be checked, not just represented.
So instead of just minting tokens, the system ties them to verifiable data. What exists offchain can be validated in a way that the network can rely on.
That changes the trust model.
Because without that layer, tokenization is just claims attached to assets. With it, the asset becomes something that can be verified as it moves.
It’s less about putting things onchain.
And more about making sure what’s onchain can actually be trusted.
