Ethereum Set for UX Overhaul With New Interoperable Address Standards
Summary
Developers on Ethereum are finalizing two standards, ERC-7828 and ERC-7930, aimed at improving user experience by clarifying address identification across different chains. Currently, there is no uniform method for wallets, apps, or protocols to interpret or display addresses, leading to confusion and inconsistent experiences. ERC-7930 provides a standardized format for computers to identify the network of an address, while ERC-7828 converts addresses into human-readable names, such as "readonly@decrypt.this." This simplifies cross-chain transactions and reduces the risk of sending funds to the wrong network. Finalization is targeted for May 9th, with community feedback being solicited before implementation in wallets and other platforms.
