EthSign is building the interface between Web2 and Web3 by connecting legal agreements and smart contracts. We present open-sourced infrastructures and scenario-specific applications to accelerate Web3 at a global scale.
EthSign Signatures is the latest version of our e-signing product, which has been completely revamped to optimize user experience and functionality. EthSign Signatures provides the same functionality, UX, and legal validity as Web 2.0 e-signing platforms while leveraging the power of blockchains to enhance transparency and security. Users can upload documents, create signing fields, customize annotation objects like text fields and checkboxes, invite co-signers, track signing status, download documents, and view events of the entire agreement lifecycle.
Digital signatures on EthSign are generated with the EIP-712 standard and written into the documents.
EthSign Signatures complies with mainstream nations’ digital signature laws, and signatures can be verified on-chain at zero cost.
EthSign Signatures is open-source and easy to integrate.
Technically and visually, EthSign Signatures has been rebuilt from the ground up based on extensive research and user feedback. Our new backend has been aggressively optimized to reduce gas consumption by 9x while preserving the integrity of our ability to effectively capture intent and consent. This is accomplished by implementing EIP-712 compliant ECDSA, emitting solidity events to our subgraph, and permanently storing documents in Arweave via Bundlr.
Functionally, we are proud to add new features including Keyless Encryption (as opposed to password encryption), which enables native encryption and decryption using encryption keys derived from the user's private key, and support for specifying a signing order between co-signers. EthSign Signatures takes a practical approach to decentralization to maximize usability while preserving decentralization. This looks like hosting web content on AWS to boost accessibility while also hosting on IPFS and Arweave.
Customized Smart Contract Frameworks
EthSign not only uses smart contracts as a permanent database but also as financial infrastructure. We provide smart contract templates for escrow and triggered transactions to automated contract execution.
