If the world begins to enter an era of camps, agreements like $SIGN may become more important.
Recently, when observing the international situation, I have a feeling that is becoming more and more obvious: it seems the world is slowly entering a new phase, where various regions are starting to pay more attention to their own digital systems. In the past, many internet infrastructures were globalized, but now more and more countries are beginning to discuss localization, regionalization, and even autonomous digital systems.
In this context, I took another look at the project party.

Many people may not have noticed that if the digital economy continues to develop in the future, there will definitely be a problem between various systems: how can different networks trust each other? Especially in cross-country and cross-institutional cooperation, this problem will become more complex.
This is also why I have started to find agreements like $SIGN quite interesting. Its core is not a specific application, but a way of recording and verifying data. Simply put, it is about fixing certain facts so that different systems can confirm that this matter is true.
If more regional digital networks really emerge in the future, such as different countries promoting their own blockchain infrastructures, then this “trusted record layer” will actually become very critical. Because systems can be different, but if the verification standards are unified, many frictions can be reduced.
The Middle East may actually encounter such a situation relatively early. This region itself has a lot of cross-national cooperation, and at the same time, the digital economy is accelerating its development. Once more projects and institutions enter the chain, there will definitely be issues of identity and data verification.
I have been increasingly feeling that many infrastructure-type projects may not be particularly eye-catching in the early stages, but as the usage scenarios begin to increase, the value will gradually be reflected.
So now looking at SIGN, I feel more like I am observing a protocol that is slowly expanding its network rather than a single product. If a new pattern really emerges in the global digital system in the future, such projects may occupy a quite critical position.
