# Digital Signatures and Web3 Combining cryptographic signature schemes with **Web3 technology** provides an opportunity to increase the efficiency and security of digital signature workflows. **Blockchain** ensures signatures are time-stamped on an immutable ledger and verifiable by permissioned users directly from the network. Additionally**, self-sovereign signatures**, enabled by blockchain technology, have the power to improve identity linkage of signatories by leveraging **digital identity** credentials. --- # 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. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.teranode.group/teranode-sign/overview/digital-signatures-and-web3.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
