I am Caicai. Yesterday, a buddy of mine asked me out for drinks, looking gloomy.
He interviewed at a company last month, passed all three rounds, but got stuck at the background check—the HR from his previous company said his 'reason for leaving was not accurate,' but he actually didn't have any issues with anyone. He was so angry he wanted to curse: 'How the hell am I supposed to prove I didn't lie?'
I said, there’s actually a solution for this in Web3.
SIGN has created something called on-chain proof (Attestation). Your performance during your work period, reasons for leaving, performance evaluations—all of this can be signed on-chain by the company's HR using a private key. In the future, when you look for a job, you can just send the on-chain record over, and the new company can verify the truth without needing to call the previous company, so there's no need to worry about being misrepresented.
This isn’t just a concept. TokenTable has already distributed assets to over 40 million wallets, with an annual revenue of 15 million USD. The government of Sierra Leone is using it for digital IDs, and the UAE is also advancing its use.
To put it simply, what SIGN is doing is transforming the act of 'proving' from 'asking for someone’s help' to 'verifying.' No need to rely on words; code speaks for itself.
My buddy fell silent for a long time after hearing this, and said: 'If this thing actually works, I wouldn't have been wronged.'
Caicai's ramblings: Blaming others in the workplace, being blacklisted in background checks, getting scammed by fake degrees—these issues are all about 'not being able to prove oneself.' What SIGN aims to solve is exactly this.
Still, the same saying: I only trust what I can see and touch.
