PANews reported on May 13th that, according to The Block, the Ethereum Foundation is pushing for the standardization of the Clear Signing security solution. It has launched a public registry for submitting and distributing contract descriptors, designated Ledger's proposed ERC-7730 as the shared format, and is also hosting a toolkit to support Clear Signing. Clear Signing aims to replace "blind signing," allowing users to understand transaction descriptions before approval, such as displaying "Exchange 100 USDC for 0.05 ETH on Uniswap," instead of opaque hexadecimal data.
The Ethereum Foundation states that transactions need clear, human-readable, and structured descriptions so that wallets can reliably present them to users. To this end, ERC-7730 will serve as an open standard, and clearsigning.org will act as a public registry where anyone can submit contract descriptors for review and certification by independent security experts. Wallets can then retrieve and clearly display the verified descriptions to users. This approach is compatible with existing contracts because the descriptors are stored off-chain in the registry.
