# Can a token carry meaning?

Kernel in their [essay](https://sign.kernel.community/essay) brings attention to the signature economies embedded in blockchains:

> *Signatures do not enclose, they bear individual witness to shared events. The messages you sign are at once totally unique—there is only one valid signer in the whole world—and yet they can be broadcast many times over, each time accumulating meaning.*

And then asks:

> *Can we create a culture where value is propagated by ongoing response, rather than held captive in possessions?*
