i don’t know… maybe it’s just me, but crypto doesn’t feel like it lacks trust.
it feels like nobody agrees where trust is supposed to live.
some people put it in code.
“don’t trust, verify.”
others lean on reputation… founders, communities, social proof.
then there’s identity credentials, KYC, on-chain profiles.
all of it exists. none of it connects.
so you end up in this strange place where
you trust parts of the system… but never the whole thing.
you trust the contract, not the team.
the team, not the token.
the community, not the data.
trust isn’t missing. it’s scattered.
and that’s why something like SIGN even shows up on the radar.
not because it’s adding trust…
but because it’s trying to give it a place to sit.
a shared layer where claims can actually be checked,
instead of just believed.
sounds simple.
but then the questions start.
who decides what counts as “real” proof?
will anyone actually use it?
or do people prefer the current mess because it’s easier?
still.
this setup we have now… it feels unstable.
too many assumptions holding things together.
maybe it keeps working like this.
or maybe trust slowly becomes something more structured.
i’m not convinced.
but it doesn’t feel like we’re missing trust.
just… arguing about where it belongs.
