I used to think data on Sign Protocol becomes complete the moment it’s created or stored.
But it doesn’t work like that. Nothing is truly whole until someone actually requests it.
Behind the scenes, the claim is split into parts some on chain, some off chain, shaped by rules and filters. What you see later is not the original thing but a reconstructed version made to look complete.
Even across different systems, it keeps getting re aligned instead of rebuilt.
So in reality, nothing sits as a single full record. It only comes together briefly, just when you need to use it.
