One of the biggest misconceptions in crypto is that proving ownership means giving up privacy. It doesn’t. Modern wallet verification relies on cryptographic signatures, not data exposure.
Step 1: Wallet connection
The user connects their wallet using a standard connector such as WalletConnect.
Important:
- No private keys are shared
- No transactions are signed
- No approvals are granted
The wallet simply establishes identity.
Step 2: Signature-based ownership proof
To prove ownership, the wallet signs a read-only message.
This proves:
- The user controls the wallet
- The signature cannot be forged
- Nothing can be spent or moved
This is the same mechanism used by leading Web3 authentication systems.
Step 3: Balance aggregation
Once ownership is verified, balances are fetched directly from the blockchain using trusted data providers.
WalletSign aggregates:
- Multiple wallets
- Multiple chains
- Token balances and native assets
All values are converted to a standardized USD equivalent.
Step 4: Time-bound verification
Every verification is:
- Timestamped
- Hash-secured
- Expiry-controlled
This ensures proofs can’t be reused indefinitely or taken out of context.
Step 5: Human-friendly output
The final step is translation.
WalletSign converts technical blockchain data into:
- A clean PDF
- A verification QR code
- A public read-only verification page
The recipient doesn’t need to understand wallets, chains, or tokens.
Security by design
At no point does WalletSign:
- Store private keys
- Store seed phrases
- Gain spending access
Verification is cryptographic, not custodial.
Wallet verification should increase trust — not risk. Done right, it’s safer than sharing bank documents.
