YZi Labs has invested in Sign, an on-chain infrastructure for token distribution and credential verification. Sign is aggregating verified credentials on-chain to build a larger network, creating a more transparent and safer token distribution infrastructure.
By focusing on everyday applications such as contract signing with EthSign, token distribution and management through TokenTable, and on-chain credential verification using Sign Protocol, Sign is paving the way for the mass onboarding of billions of Web2 users into Web3, one application at a time.
Founded in 2021, Sign has grown into a leading token distribution platform, creating a transparent and safe way for humans and AI agents to receive tokens. Its omni-chain attestation protocol is now serving a growing number of use cases as the company reported $15 million in revenue in 2024, as per the company’s declarations in December 2024. Sign is trusted by over 200 projects, including Movement, Starknet, and ZetaChain.
Sign plans to use the fresh funds to expand partnerships with centralized exchanges and governments, explore AI-driven applications, and launch its native token to strengthen its ecosystem.
“Sign’s vision for mass Web3 onboarding aligns with YZi Labs’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of transformative innovation and driving innovation across the Web3 ecosystem and beyond. By connecting real-world credentials to blockchain networks, Sign is building transformative infrastructure for transparency and trust. We are excited to support them in scaling this technology to a global audience,” said Nicola Wang, Investment Director at YZi Labs.
“We’ve nailed how to distribute tokens. Now, we’re focusing on who to distribute tokens to. Blockchain is evolving into a global offshore financial hub, and our mission is to make it safer and more trusted,” said Xin Yan, Co-Founder and CEO of Sign. “We’re thrilled to have YZi Labs’ support as we work to revolutionize token distribution and credential verification.”
