The Ethereum working group has launched a clear signature open standard to address the blind signature issue and enhance on-chain transaction security
The working group led by the Ethereum Foundation has released a new open standard called "Clear Signing," aimed at addressing the long-standing issue of "blind signing." This new standard is built on the ERC-7730 specification and aims to promote the "WYSIWYS (What You See Is What You Sign)" concept, allowing users to understand the actual execution content of transactions in a unified, readable, and structured manner before signing. This replaces the current common practice of displaying machine-readable but difficult-to-understand low-level transaction information. By using a unified description format, a registry system, and independent verification and auditing mechanisms, the intent of transactions can be clearly expressed and standardized for presentation on wallets.Clear Signing will not change the on-chain transaction structure but will enhance interpretability through off-chain standardized descriptions, thereby improving security without affecting the compatibility of existing protocols.
