Ethereum developers have formalized a Clear Signing initiative built around ERC-7730 and reinforced by EIP-7212, targeting one of the ecosystem’s most persistent user-security failures: blind signing. The proposal replaces opaque wallet prompts with structured, human-readable transaction descriptions, giving users clearer visibility into asset movements, contract calls and permissions before they approve an action.
