IDENTITY PROTOCOL v1.0
HTTP 401: UNAUTHORIZED
HTTP 401 : UNAUTHORIZED — PROVE WHO YOU ARE

$401

YOUR IDENTITY. YOUR PATH. YOUR TOKEN.

Before you can follow the money, you need to know who you are. The $401 token is your cryptographic identity — encrypted, self-sovereign, and inscribed on-chain forever.

EXPRESS.
YOURSELF.
ON-CHAIN.

Your identity isn't a username on someone else's server. It's a cryptographic proof that you exist, that you created, that you own. No platform can take it away. No corporation controls it. It's yours.

$402 says

“Follow the money”

Payment flows, content access, economic coordination. The money side of the protocol.

$401 says

“Follow your own path”

Identity, authorship, reputation, self-sovereignty. The human side of the protocol.

01

Encrypt your documents

At bit-sign.online, encrypt your passport or ID into a sealed cryptographic bundle. Nobody can read it without your key.

02

Inscribe the root

The encrypted bundle is written to the blockchain as your root inscription — a permanent, tamper-proof anchor for your identity.

03

Mint your $401 token

Choose your symbol — $BOASE, $ALICE, $YOU — and mint your identity token. It traces back to your root inscription forever.

04

Pair with $402

Your $401 unlocks the full protocol. Earn dividends, operate nodes, write legally binding documents, commit code with attribution.
