At the core of the Sign Protocol are attestations in the blockchain that allow users to prove facts in a decentralized and document-free manner. Instead of relying on centralized authorities such as governments, platforms, or institutions to verify information, attestations act as cryptographic proofs recorded on the blockchain.
These can represent anything from identity and achievements to ownership and participation, creating a transparent and immutable level of trust.
This concept is closely related to Decentralized Identity (DID), where users fully own and control their digital identity. With attestations, individuals can create a collection of verified proofs issued by trusted organizations that can be reused across multiple applications.
