# The Currency of Clarity The Signet Protocol is powered by $SIGN, a utility asset designed to align the incentives of developers, enterprise customers, and network validators. Unlike speculative assets, $SIGN is engineered as infrastructure capital. It represents the bandwidth of the network and serves as the primary mechanism for governance, operational access, and value exchange within the ecosystem. We are building a decentralized alternative to the data monopolies. To sustain this, the economic model must be circular and deflationary by design, rewarding those who build and secure the network while ensuring cost-stability for the end consumers of the analytics data. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
